Top Romance Anime with Overprotective MC
In this list, I'm going to talk about romance anime where the male protagonist is overprotective and also tends to be jealous. There will be different genres such as school, drama or fantasy.
- Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion
Release date: 2023
Themes: Historical, romance
Episodes: 12
The story starts with a reincarnation in a world where the MC is destined to die. In fact, this world is based on a novel that she knows well. She will therefore do everything to survive and avoid her imminent death. This anime is adapted from a successful webtoon.
The character of the heroine is really iconic. She is intelligent, thoughtful and determined. She doesn't hesitate to use every way to get to what she wants. The couple's dynamic is very enjoyable.
- Kaishou wa maid sama
Release date: 2010
Themes: Romance, comedy, school life
Episodes: 26
Misaki studies in a high school that used to be boys only, and begins to diversify. Misaki's goal is to integrate the girls so that they are at the same level as the boys thanks to her role as the student representative. Misaki doesn't have an easy life due mostly to debts left by her father. She must lead a double life with a part-time job, that she keeps secret until the person she feared the most finds out.
This anime is one of my favorite of all time! It's hilarious, romantic and well written. It has absolutely everything! Both main characters are amazing.
- Fena pirate princess
Release date: 2021
Themes: Romance, comedy, adventure
Episodes: 12
Fena Houtman found herself alone on an island as an orphan for years. Until the day she is supposed to marry a powerful man. But the turn of events will take an incredible turn and an adventure full of history, mysteries, secrecy and travel will begin.
This anime was an amazing surprise for me. Nothing could predict the story, the emotions and the incredible romance that I was going to find. This anime gives me chills every time I watch it. The music, the quality is nothing less than incredible. Being an Akatsuki no yona fan, I was more than happy to find a similar atmosphere and anime.
- Kimi ni todoke
Release date: 2009
Themes: Romance, comedy, school life
Episodes: 37 ( 2 seasons)
Sawako is a young girl who dreams of having friends. This goal, which may seem trivial, is nevertheless complicated for her. She is shy and introverted but mostly has an unwanted reputation. Indeed, due to her supposed resemblance to Sadako (in reference to the movie Ring), her classmates think she has some sordid psychic powers and are afraid of her. That until the nicest and most popular boy in school comes to her and takes an interest in her.
This anime is very cute and funny at the same time. Romance comes slowly but surely.
- Akatsuki No Yona
Release date: 2014
Themes: Historical, romance, fantasy, adventure
Episodes: 24
Yona was a princess who lived a perfect life without knowing the reality and harshness of life outside the castle. A tragedy will radically open her eyes and change her life forever. Once a naïve princess, she will be thrown into this world she knew nothing about. You will be surprised to see the evolution of the heroine in this anime. The music is incredible and the characters original.
This anime is my all time favorite, I think it has everything : the building romance, hilarious comedy, unexpected drama and more. We feel carried away in this world full of suspense, secrets but also dangers.
- Sugar apple fairy tail
Release date: 2023
Themes: Romance, fantasy
Episodes: 12
The plot takes place in a world where fairies have become slaves to humans as they have found their weak point: their wings.. Anne Halford is a young practitioner of the art of sugaring. In fact, it is the only food that fairies really appreciate. She will therefore want to go to a competition to be recognized for her talent. In her journey, she will meet a fairy Shall Fen Shall, with sinister and closed appearances, but who hides a lot.
This anime mixes adventure, fantasy, romance and drama. It was a wonderful discovery for me this year. I'm so happy that the season is planned so quickly, for this summer.
- Fruit basket
Themes: Romance, fantasy, drama
Episodes: 63 (3 seasons)
Tohru Honda is a young girl who is always happy and positive despite all the traumas she has overcome in her life. As she finds herself homeless, she meets the big 'Soma' family and learns their secret: They are cursed by the twelve zodiacs, which complicate their life and is becoming unbearable. She will then want to help and understand them at all costs.
This anime is just amazing. It is a re-adaptation of a classic shoujo which has already had an incomplete adaptation. This anime goes through different moods : light and funny phases, with clashes between the characters and other very very deep and serious talking about trauma, manipulation, psychological violence and others.
- Inu x boku SS
Themes: Romance, fantasy
Episodes: 12
A mysterious mansion unites the people of an organism who all hold incredible supernatural powers. Ririchiyo Shirakiin joins the manor to finally be able to have her independence. But she has a particular, cynical and cold personality, which prevents her from making friends or having normal social interactions. She will meet Miketsukami Sôchi, who will be at her service and who would put his life in danger for her.
This anime is funny because our MC really has an atypical personality. There is action, fantasy, everything takes us into this dark and mysterious universe.
- Akagami no shirayukihime
Release date: 2015
Themes: Adventure, romance, drama
Episodes: 24 (2 seasons)
Shirayuki is a mysterious young herbalist with red hair. Her hair often attracts the attention of innocent people but also of people with bad attentions. When she tries to escape from an unexpected situation, she meets a young boy, who carries much more on his back than you might expect.
This anime is one of my all time favorites. I never get tired of watching it and it always gives me strong sensations. It is, in my opinion, one of the most realistic in terms of romance. We really start with a beautiful and simple friendship which in the end reveals much deeper feelings. There is also a loooot of drama and action.
- Tonari no kaibutsu-kun
Themes: Romance, school
Shizuku Mizutani is an excellent and exemplary student, who is only interested in her personal success and works hard to achieve it. She shows little interest in others and only concentrate on herself. Until the day she has the mission to bring lessons to one of her classmate, who is always absent and considered a delinquent. A strange relationship will quickly take place since he will almost develop an obsession with her.
This anime is very funny : the contrast between the cold personality of the girl and the almost too warm and obsessive side of the boy creates funny and atypical situations.
Amazing !
