Romance Anime Getting Another Season

Romance anime fans, we WON 😭💗 These romance stories are officially getting another season, and I couldn’t be happier!

The Apothecary Diaries – Wit, mystery, and subtle romance at its finest. Maomao’s sharp mind and her intriguing dynamic with Jinshi make this one of the most satisfying slow burn romances in anime.

A Star Brighter Than the Sun – A soft, heartfelt shoujo romance about growing up, unspoken feelings, and first love. Pure emotional sweetness that’s perfect if you love gentle, realistic romance.

Yona of the Dawn – A powerful blend of romance, adventure, and character growth. Yona’s journey from sheltered princess to fearless leader continues, and the slow-burn romance we’ve been waiting for is finally moving forward.
