The summer 2024 season has a wide selection of romance anime that are good for the hearts and souls of viewers.

From My Senpai Is an Otokonoko to Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings, there are many romance anime to watch and fall in love with this season.

  1. Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

    Meet Alya, a half-Russian, half-Japanese beautiful girl who has a crush on her nerdy classmate Kuze Masachika.

    She is cold and unfriendly to other students at school, but her mood changes when it comes to Kuze, especially when they talk about random things.

    Since Alya can’t help but express her real feelings about Kuze, she voices them out in Russian, not realizing Kuze understands the language!

    Will Alya discover that Kuze understands Russian? Chaos is sure to ensue, as Alya tends to get easily embarrassed.

    Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian is a quirky school romance anime on Crunchyroll that also explores themes of family and friendship.

  2. Giji Harem

    Giji Harem, also known as Pseudo Harem, is a fun, wholesome, and lighthearted romance anime that can make you laugh and wish you had the same relationship as the characters.

    Don’t be fooled by the title, though, as Giji Harem is not exactly a harem anime. It features an incredibly talented female protagonist who channels different personas to provide a harem experience for her senpai.

    It centers around Rin Nanakura, an aspiring actress who joins the drama club and meets her kind and funny senpai, Eiji Kitahama.

    Crunchyroll is now streaming the latest episodes of Giji Harem with English subtitles, and most likely, in English dub at a later date.

  3. Senpai Is an Otokonoko

    The next romance anime on our list is Senpai Is an Otokonoko, a school romance anime on Crunchyroll where the main male protagonist cross-dresses as a girl.

    Makoto Hanaoka wears a female school uniform despite being male, but this doesn’t stop Saki Aoi from pursuing the love of her life.

    Saki has a huge crush on Makoto, and when she discovers his true identity, her love for him grows even more!

    Senpai Is an Otokonoko might be a romance anime, but it also explores mature themes such as gender identity, discrimination, bullying, and more.

  4. Days with My Stepsister

    Days with My Stepsister is unlike any other romance anime on Crunchyroll that features step-siblings as main characters.

    The series takes itself seriously and avoids unnecessary fan service, which might turn off some romance anime fans.

    It shows how two people from different backgrounds try to live together and adjust to their situation.

    It also tackles mature themes, making it relatable for those in similar predicaments.

    The anime follows Yuta Asamura and Saki Ayase, strangers who find themselves living together as step-siblings.

  5. Love Is Indivisible by Twins

    This romance anime on Crunchyroll features fraternal twins who have the same romantic feelings for their childhood friend, making the situation serious and complicated.

    The younger sibling shares the same hobbies and interests as the love interest, but the older sibling is brave enough to confront her feelings earlier than her twin.

    When the older sibling and the childhood friend start dating, the younger sibling quickly realizes how madly in love she is with the same man.

    What will happen to the twins, and who will the childhood friend end up with?

    This romance anime is a roller coaster ride of emotions, so prepare for a thrilling but compelling experience.

  6. The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies

    This romance anime on Crunchyroll might be short, but it is full of fluff and diabetes-inducing scenes that will surely make your day.

    The evil lieutenant looks scary and intimidating on the surface, but he’s actually a softy, especially when it comes to the cutest magical girl in town.

    On the other hand, the magical girl has a lot of personal struggles, but she can still see the goodness hiding within the evil lieutenant.

    Whenever they face each other in battle, they talk about random stuff and sometimes even share a drink!

  7. 2.5 Dimensional Seduction

    If you enjoy My Dress-Up Darling, then you’ll probably enjoy watching 2.5 Dimensional Seduction because of their similarities.

    In this rom-com anime, Okumura has no interest in 3D girls and prefers to obsess over sexy fictional 2D characters.

    That is until he encounters the beautiful Ririsa, who decides to join the manga club with him. She likes to cosplay and wants Okumura to help make her cosplay dreams come true!

    While Okumura is indecisive, Ririsa has the power to change her senpai’s mind by cosplaying as his waifu, the ever-beautiful manga character named Liliel!

    Crunchyroll is also streaming 2.5 Dimensional Seduction.
