出典 : Amazon.co.jp

Heroines such as Kuro-neko and Aragaki Ayase were also immensely popular and became a huge hit that built an era.
No. 2 [2.44 million] Love Hina
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The Magic Teacher Negima! Unfortunately, the popular romantic comedy by Ken Akamatsu, who is also known for his hit film, “The Last Samurai”, came in a close second.
This is the definitive version of the harem anime about the heroine Urashima Keitaro, who is aiming for the University of Tokyo, the heroine Narusegawa Naru, and the inhabitants of Hinata Manor, where they live, and their rowdy days.
This is a very easy to get into anime with a good balance of romance and slapstick comedy.
No. 1 [2.48 million] CLANNAD
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The winner of first place is KyoAni’s anime adaptation of Key’s hit game.
The first season of “AFTER STORY”, which portrayed a school love comedy centered around the slightly delinquent protagonist Okazaki Tomoya and his older classmate Furukawa Nagisa, who had to leave school for a year due to weakness, and the second season “AFTER STORY”, which portrayed the bond between the two, who became a family after graduation, and their parent-child relationship, were both huge hits, receiving tremendous support.
While most romantic comedies depict the process of getting together, this work is a highly dramatic work with a rich storyline after they get together.
It’s a masterpiece that no doubt spawned the famous phrase, “CLANNAD is life.

summary
The definition of romantic comedy is pretty vague, and there are quite a few mediums that define that flower or Haruhi as a romantic comedy.
This time, I’ve narrowed it down to a purer romantic comedy with a certain amount of comedic elements and a main theme of romance.
For this reason, works with less romantic or comedic colors, or works with more romantic elements such as “April is Your Lie” and “Nodame Cantabile” are not included in this category.
Anime romantic comedies are not always explosive hits, but there are many works that have had a second season, and it is a genre that can be expected to have stable demand in any era.
However, there was a time when a harem was accepted by the public, and then an era came when a solo heroine was accepted by the public, so there are quite a few trends that go out of style.
It would be fun to predict what kind of romantic comedy anime will gain popularity in the future.
