As a manga & anime fanatic, I figure I should have written more about the topic, but this is only my second blog after the Badass Women in Manga and Anime: My Top Votes. Can’t say I am a nerd who knows all series out there, but I sure do watch and read a lot. Below are my 7 personal picks of most captivating love stories (in non-romance series only), arranged in ascending order – that says, I hope you may find some surprising choices further down.

Those who haven’t read or watched these series, beware of spoilers, my apologies in advance.
