Call me weird, but I find something so comforting in typical mundane romance animes as an ace person.
Like, they portray hand holding as such a big deal. Sometimes it takes episodes to build up the courage. And walking beside each other is seen as a big step, or accidentally touching. A peck of a kiss is the pinnacle of affection. It's stuff people don't think twice about in reality.
I just love it; the different ways of showing two people in love without all the overt physical affection.
Bless you, shojo anime. Got me here feeling all accepted.
Kazehaya really saw one (1) ostracized, cripplingly introverted autistic-coded girl and said “is anyone going to love, cherish, and adore her like she deserves” and then didn’t wait for an answer
Fruits Basket got a revival, Kimi no Todoke is getting a new season. Is shojo anime making a comeback? Because if so, I demand a new season to Kamisama Kiss, My Little Monster, Yona of the Dawn, Snow White With the Red Hair, Maid Sama, and Ouran High School Host Club. NOW!
