Romantic anime where the characters dislike, but start to like each other.

1608

What is a good romantic anime/manga where one or both of the main characters hate each other, but start to like each other? Not something like Toradora ( main girl character was very whiny).

If not that: What is an anime/manga similar to “Princess Jellyfish” or “Kiss him not me”? Those two were lighthearted anime that had an unusual twist to the characters.
(I prefer the characters to be older, such as a workplace anime or them just being adults such as in “Princess Jellyfish”.)

Thank you for your time~

Try Nisekoi it's close to an harem but the two man characters hate each other and then begin to fall for each other.

Breakups

It’s not exactly what the same thing, but I think it has the same general kind of concept your looking for, and it’s only about 15 minutes long

You should try Skip Beat!

But you show keep in mind that it’s adapted from a manga( anime only (goes up to chapter 71 and it also skips some chapters) and the manga is still ongoing so because of that at end of the anime there is no actual conclusion.

The story follows Kyoko(16 years old) who followed her love and childhood friend ,Sho, to Tokyo to help him fulfill his dreams but one day she stumbles upon him saying that he only brought her along because she’s “his maid”. She vows to get revenge against him by joining showbiz.

The main character(kyoko) is very charming and endearing, she’s truly a breathe of fresh air. Although it is a romance it mainly follows kyoko through her journey of self discovery. It’s one of my all time favorites.

SPOILER WARNING
if ur turned off by her going back to the guy who disrespected her(sho) i’ll have you know that he’s not actually the main love interest. There’s another guy who she meets and they don’t get along from the first meeting but of course they fall in love. And trust me you’ll love him.

The best workplace anime I can recommend (and that's in your planning list) is Wotakoi! The manga is also really good and the story goes a bit further than the anime does with only 11 episodes.

Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

Another lighthearted anime I recommend is Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun! I didn't see that one in your list already, it's worth checking out and all of the characters are pretty diverse in personality.

Taiga was whiny, but you're negating her character development. It's still a good example of two main characters who don't entirely like each other, and then grow close together with respect-to-time. Had it not been for Takasu, and I don't like Taiga would have changed.

One of the best harems out there, sadly the anime isn't finished but manga is top tier and all the girls are interesting.

If you're willing to enjoy a long heartfelt journey that will bring you to tears then this will work great

Also a unique curve ball, same concept, but different from usual. I loved it.
