Koyomi Araragi, the main male character in Bakemonogatari is a third-grade high schooler. What makes him unique is the fact that he has supernatural powers that result from an attack by a vampire.

4. Noucome
Kanade Amakusa has been cursed by the Absolute Choices curse, a system that forces him to pick one action out of the options the system presents. The majority of these options are bizarre or absurd which has caused him a bad reputation.
One day, he takes action that causes a charming girl to drop from the sky, along with the promise of more hysterically hellish choices.
5. Oreshura
Ore no Kanojo to Obsananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru is a romance/harem/comedy anime. It is another anime series similar to Nisekoi.
The dilemma for the protagonist of both anime series is similar: the protagonist needs to be in a fake relationship, however, the motives behind it are totally different. In addition, when the main character enters this fake relationship, he also starts being noticed by other girls (it would not be the case otherwise).
Eita Kidou doesn’t believe in love anymore. However, this disbelief in love is not due to the result of a messy breakup or due to any fault of his own. The reason behind his skepticism when it comes to love is the infidelity of his parents which caused his family to fall apart. He is not interested in anything else besides his studies and strives to be a good student in order to become an ophthalmologist in the future.
However, his lack of interest draws the attention of Masuzu Natsukawa, the class’s love interest. Masuzu is exhausted by all the attention and love she is receiving. To avoid all this, she asks Eita to become her fake boyfriend. He doesn’t agree initially but once she finds his journal and threatens to publish it online, he reluctantly agrees.
Unfortunately, this fake romance is destined to bring unwelcome attention and troubles into his normally peaceful life.
6. Wotakoi: Love Is Hard For Otaku
The basic formula of high school rom-coms can work perfectly even in universities or workplaces. We usually associate otaku hobbies with high-schoolers but this hobby can last a lifetime and we should not forget that.
The same can be said for Wotakoi Wotakoi, where four geeky office workers have an unrestricted love for video games, anime, and dating simulations.
The two main couples aren’t exactly perfect but they are incredibly charming. It’s really fun to watch adorable awkward otakus doing stuff together!
7. Oresuki: Are You Really The Only One Who Loves Me?
The series is a high school rom-com anime and the cast is full of adorable and charming female characters for the male lead, Kisaragi, to meet and get to know. But wait a minute—there’s plenty of rivalries between the girls and Kisaragi is soon caught in a maze of romance and relationships.
It’s entertaining and fun mostly, however, there’s an unspoken joke about a bench in the park where life-changing revelations are revealed. The library’s shy girl might be more than meets the eye!
8. Baka & Test – Summon The Beasts
Baka & Test takes place at Fumizuki Academy, a school where students are sorted into classes according to their academic achievements.
The story is centered around Akihisa Yoshii & his quirky classmates as they engage in numerous snarky situations.
Baka & Test may not be a popular show however, it’s certainly one of the most entertaining ones. There are a few romance elements scattered throughout but the entire thing is performed for fun.
9. Saekano: How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend
Saekano tells the tale of Tomoya Aki, a high school otaku who upon meeting a classmate called Megumi Kato (our Best Black Hair Anime Girl) decides to create a visual novel featuring her as the main heroine.
The story will follow Tomoya and his extremely talented colleagues as they work on creating their own game.
Saekano appears to be a typical harem at first but it does an amazing job of introducing the characters and dissecting their dynamics and relationships while moving the plot ahead.
10. Golden Time
Banri Tada is a college freshman who lost his memory following a fall from a bridge.
On his first day at the law college, he runs into Mitsuo Yanagisawa, another fellow freshman. A gorgeous girl called Koko Kaga walks up to them and slaps Mitsuo with a flower bouquet.

Banri, on the other hand, likes Koko from the start. As the two start spending more time together, Koko eventually realizes that she loves Banri.
