Could try Spy x Family. Still action, but less explicit in its depictions of violence (though there is still violence), and overall wholesome story / message.

This is “are the straights okay” which is for exactly this kind of content.

Love that everyone made sure to coordinate outfits too.

I really love Vermillion’s performance as a Straight Man for this series. Constantly having to be the only competent demon in the room must get exhausting.

I have so much nostalgia for this show, enjoying the remake quite a bit so far! Seems like they’ve done a good job keeping the charm while upping the animation quality. Plus it’s a great excuse to show one of my favorite older series to my partner who never watched the original.

This seasons ‘Skip and Loafer’ on Crunchyroll is excellent! It’s not purely romance but that is a big part of it. It’s high school aged characters but not written for a high school audience, the nuanced writing and excellent handling of various issues make it stand out as much more mature than many of it’s counterparts.

Also from this season, Insomniacs After School on HiDive is very touching relationship growth between two realistic and likeable characters, though the animation and writing quality aren’t quite as good as Skip and Loafer.
