Love takes time and work. A lot of romance anime reflect this fact, often building up the romance between main characters over a long period of time so that it will lead to the payoff of them getting together at the end. While this long game can keep fans invested in seeing the characters finally confess their feelings, some anime have their characters take that plunge much earlier.
By having the romantic leads of a series get together near the beginning, the audience is able to witness continued character growth in the context of the relationship. This dynamic tends to get cut from anime that have the characters getting into a relationship as the end goal. However, in trading out some of the build-up time, there are plenty of series out there that give viewers an extended look at what the couple is like when they start dating.
Updated by Lauren Younkin on March 5, 2025: The romance genre in anime is one that has a lot of variety given that relationships can be portrayed in a multitude of ways. More and more series have decided to flip the script on the traditional formula recently by establishing the relationship early so that it can be explored in depth in future episodes. As such, this list has been updated to include further examples of this trend and to comply with CBR’s current formatting standards.
25His and Her Circumstances Shows a Grounded Relationship
Not Currently Available On Streaming
Like many typical shojo anime, His and Her Circumstances features a romance between two people who consider themselves rivals. Where the show deviates from other series, however, is that main characters Yukino Miyazawa and Soichiro Arima realize the futility of this early on and resolve to work towards being better people together.
Arima confesses to Yukino right in the first episode, and they officially become a couple a few episodes later. This gives viewers the opportunity to watch them grow in their relationship, both as a couple and as individual people. Their romance isn’t idealized in the way that most fiction portrays, instead depicting a love that is messy and complicated but also real.

23A Sign of Affection Transcends Language Barriers
Streaming On Crunchyroll
For Yuki Itose, who was born without her sense of hearing, love was always a foreign concept. She sometimes found it hard to communicate with other people and therefore had a hard time forming connections with them. This changes, however, when she meets Itsuomi Nagi for the first time. Having come from a background of multiple languages, Itsuomi makes an effort to connect with Yuki in a way she’s never experienced before.
The 10 Best Shojo Anime of 2024, Ranked
2024 was a fantastic year for shojo anime, with new seasons from old favorites to brand new series fans can’t get enough of.
As they continue to run into each other on campus and Yuki starts teaching Itsuomi sign language, it becomes more and more clear that the two of them have feelings for one another. Despite this, it’s still somewhat of a shock when Itsuomi confesses to Yuki by Episode 6 considering the reputation that shojo anime has for often dragging out the build-up to a relationship unnecessarily. A Sign of Affection manages to dodge these clichΓ©s not only in this instance but in many others, making it a refreshing watch within the demographic.

21Taisho Otome Fairy Tale Depicts Real Feelings in an Arranged Marriage
Streaming On Crunchyroll
As the title suggests, Taisho Otome Fairy Tale takes place during Japan’s Taisho era in the 1920s. Arranged marriages during this time were not uncommon, which is exactly the situation that main characters Tamahiko Shima and Yuzuki Tachibana find themselves in. Discarded by his family after an accident that leaves him disabled, Tamahiko is prepared to give up on happiness until Yuzuki is dropped into his life.
Despite sharing in these less than ideal circumstances, Yuzuki is able to make the best of things in a way that contrasts with Tamahiko’s cynicism. She gives him the strength to want to turn his life around, and over time their contractual relationship turns into a real one. Though the reveal of their marriage in the first episode may not count for some as the beginning of their romance, they become attached to each other fairly quickly and even share a kiss by Episode 7.

20Sword Art Online Focuses on Its Core Romance
Streaming on Hulu
Sword Art Online is a video game isekai on the surface, but the show places a large emphasis on the romance between main characters Kirito and Asuna. Though they meet in the virtual world of Aincrad, a real love forms between them as they build new lives for themselves within the game. During their time there, Kirito and Asuna get married, buy a house together, and even become parental figures to a child named Yui.
Despite the hopelessness of their situation, Kirito and Asuna find hope in one another and learn to celebrate life in the moments where they can find it. This is only possible because the show lets them get together early on in the series, with the two years they spent in the game prior to that allowing for a natural build-up to that romance. Kirito and Asuna stay together in the SAO seasons following their escape from Aincrad, which means that the audience gets to continue witnessing the growth of their relationship in the real world.

Streaming On Crunchyroll
Tsuredure Children is an anthology of love stories centered around various students from the same high school as they navigate the ins and outs of romance at a young age. Since the struggles of confessing are an ongoing theme of the series, some of these romances end up being slow and steady. Others, however, are not.
As early as the first episode, a few of these characters end up pairing off into couples and start dating, and more end up following suit not too far behind in the episodes after. While not every character gets together right at the beginning, it is amazing how many of them do so early on in the anime.
