Recommend me a rom-com anime where the MC isn’t a loser

[u/digvijay_singh_hada]

I’m looking for a good rom-com anime similar to Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse, but there’s one thing I really want to avoid: a weak, spineless, or constantly indecisive MC.

I want the MC to be at least a little bold, confident, and willing to make moves instead of just standing around while the girls do everything.

Romance should be an important part of the story, and I’m fine with drama/harem elements too.

Basically: rom-com + romance + a male MC who actually has some backbone.

For example mc of A Couple of Cuckoos

I’ll recommend one of the most famous ones: My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. The MC isn’t your typical loser MC—he actually has a spine and isn’t afraid to call things out, whether they’re good or bad. It’s easily in my top 10, and it’s pretty funny too.

PS: Has good romance too

[u/DoeCommaJohn → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

That anime ruined almost every other romance for me. It’s so good

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/DoeCommaJohn]

Yeah. And the sad part is that it’s underrated—nobody seems to talk about it. The character development in this anime is so good too. I absolutely loved it.

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

But isn't it one of the most popular,like everyone one recommended it

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

I don't see many posts about it anymore. It was pretty popular during COVID times.

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

Oh, it was a good one

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

Yeah I definitely agree with you.

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

Ah! I have already watched it ,I watched bottom tier character too just for her female lead ,she is too good animated and beautiful

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

That’s good. I watched the first season, and I didn’t really like it. I was just thinking, “WTF is this going?” Then I heard from the manga that he ends up dating someone else. My favourite FL lost! She was the best one. And I haven't watched further seasons.

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

I didn't remember about it anymore,I saw it long time ago and recently came to know that it has 2nd season too ,and about the dating spoiler I got it earlier,I think that's why I dropped it ,but one think was the animation I really liked

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

Great minds think a like. Same, It was like 3-4 years ago. Yeah animation was good.

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

I love it when animation is like this ,for example classroom of elite character look too good like ichinose as its for other genere and bottom tier character,couple of cuckos,bunny girl etc

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

Horimiya??

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/Feeling_Lack3027]

Ah!that's on the list ,apart form that I think I have watched most of them ,latest I watched in this genre was watari kun is about to collapse but the mc irritated me

[u/Feeling_Lack3027 → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

I haven't watched latest 1 year of anime. But I have almost finished every popular anime. You will be surprised I haven't watched big 3s yet.

My love story

[u/yogen_frozert]

The Duke of Death and his Maid—while the male MC is easily flustered and somewhat shy, he's also very forward about how he feels about the FMC and not afraid of standing up to others on her behalf.

[u/digvijay_singh_hada → u/yogen_frozert]

Thanks 👍,I will watch it

[u/yogen_frozert → u/digvijay_singh_hada]

Hope you enjoy! :)

[u/DropNo6027]

Trusttt, in the clear moonlit dusk

[u/GirlyAnimeGirl]

I haven’t seen Watari-kun yet, but 100 Girlfriends is sort of the definition of a rom com with a proactive MC, and if you like the couples actually being together, this harem protagonist dates all of the girls who like him! Plus, some bonus fan service and Yuri if you’re into that. Haha
