Anime Couples + Bridal Carry

Rewatching the same romance animes I used to watch when I was like 9 almost every year has become a weird tradition of mine.

AND I EAT THAT SHIT UP EVERY TIMEEE.

[violet-petals-in-the-rain]

I wish Ouran High School, Kaichou wa maid sama, Special A, Kamisama Hajememashita, Boys Over Flowers, Ginban Kaleidoscope, Skip Beat! Kono Oto Tamare, Yumeiro Patissiere, and Bokura no Kiseki:

A very Fruit Baskets and Kimi ni Todoke experience

[muchadorks]

Obviously, I haven't included all of them (mainly just ones I'm decently familiar with, enough to know that the anime adaptations are completely). Some I also made executive decisions to exclude. For example, I left out the Legend of Basara and Please Save My Earth because they're less familiar to most people on here. And D.N. Angel and My Love Story!! have male MCs, so I'm not sure if they count as shoujo. And Shugo Chara technically isn't fully adapting since they made up the Party! arc after the Easter Arc (manga ending is much better in my opinion lol...)

However, I hope I got most of the popular ones! Or at least that ones that still make me sad aren't finished lol

Update: cannot believe I forgot these ones

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

Princess Jellyfish

These dudes win

[astrowaffles]

Until now, have you found any couple (canon or non canon) from any media (books, tv series, movies, anime/manga, etc) that the dynamics remind you of Yuki/Kakeru or Oikawa/Iwaizumi?

*clears throat* DID I HEAR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WHO ARGUE AND ARE IN LOVE?

Joe x Cherry - SK8 the Infinity

Yona x Hak - Yona of the Dawn

Ena x Kosuke - Science Fell in Love so I Tried To Prove It

Mu Qing x Feng Xin - Heaven Official's Blessing

Tomo x Junichiro - Tomo-chan is a Girl!

Kabakura x Koyanagi - Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Dazai x Chuuya - Bungou Stray Dogs

Maomao x Jinshi - The Apothecary Diaries

Hikari x Kei - Special A

Okay, not all of these are childhood friends, but all of them have the argumentative/competitive dynamic that is occasionally tempered with some sap just to keep us believing. If I counted correctly, 6 of these are canon couples and 4 of those are the stars of the show! I highly recommend all of them.

Thanks for the ask!

Doctor Slump is like the live action continuation of Special A and I'm loving it.
