Bleach

Nozaki kun

Honestly? SAO. Kirito and Asuna's relationship in the first half of Part 1 was great. Literally the only good thing about it, though.

Oreimo.

Off the top of my head: FMA
>>153365547
FMA had no romance though
>>153362626
>romance written by a 15 year old is good
Toradora
Tasogare otome

Is that the part before they have sex? Because it's pretty much all downhill from there.

Ef A Tale of Memories/Melodies
Planetes
Baccano
Black Lagoon
Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu
The latter grouping being of a more non-traditional romance.
Nisekoi
Pic related or Lina and Gourry.

I forget the name, but it's similar in vein to "Masumune Revenge" in that it starts out with an MC who wants revenge on the girl who took his place at the top of the class in elementary school, so he followed her to college in order to "beat her at her own game"... then he realises he just has a huge crush on her and romantic blushing and shenanigans ensue.

Why wouldn't you exclude josei?
Henshin Ganbo.

G Gundam

He's right tho. The romance between Asuna and Kirito during the Aincrad arc is literally the only redeeming quality for ShitAO.

Last Game? It's shoujo, by the way.
>>153358762
Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. Spirit Circle is pretty good too and more recently Konosuba is looking fairly good with how Megumin is going around crushing potential rivals before a harem can start.
