Romance needs to make a comeback. Couples truly yearning for one another and being equals just doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore. Bonus points if they have good chemistry and effective communication with each other, as well as important themes they embody individually and together.

I want a really good soul mates couple, one that are great friends and partners in life. One where they like eachother for good reasons, that they are aware of, based in seeing in the other qualities that they admire and like. One where they have shared life experience, or gain it during the story; and as you said communicate with eachother.

I want to see Romantacism level romances but well written and not over-dramatic.

>effective communication
How can you even write a romance story with the main couple having open and sincere communication between them?
99% of all romance shows (yes not only anime but romance in general) live and die by misunderstandings or general lack of communication.

You could find a few but they’re most likely not mainstream and normally niche or is well-written but doesn’t really take the spotlight over other elements of the story. You’re more likely to find this with novels rather than visual mediums I think.

I think people are way too dead set/reliant on needing misunderstanding conflicts to portray romance. It can just as simple as two people that support each other when they’re in need. Them helping each other opens them up emotionally so they fall in love. Say a guy and girl are just friends.
>guy helps girl study for her upcoming exam even though he had a chance to go on a fun camping trip with his other friends, not because he likes her romantically but because he knows how important that exam is for her and even though he’s not the best at the subject she’s studying for, he knows some things so he has to at least try (same case if he’s not knowledgeable too). She then sees how reliable and caring he can be and how he’s willing to make sacrifices for her without asking for anything in return so she slowly falls for him. It’d also be even more impactful if he’s done this in the past.
>She in return, helps him when she notices he needs it or would benefit him greatly. Say he’s a farmer. She used to be indifferent to his work but when she notices the sacrifices he makes on top of what he has done for her, she grows and offers to help him do his tasks when she has the free time. He teaches her more about his way of life while she shares her struggles and passions. The more in proximity they are to each other, the more they fall in love as they learn about each other
The thing is, many writers rely heavily on conflict to hook and keep their audience so they do what’s the easiest for them.

Retarded. Look harder.
