Nothing makes the hearts of anime fans flutter like a well-paced romance. Romance anime are a nice reprieve from the world-ending phenomena of enormous behemoths crushing the world into dust and city-destroying battles between curses and sorcerers. A simple story of friends-to-lovers checks all the right boxes. Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki is a great romance anime for both first-timers and veteran watchers who know how they like their romance.

Fumiya Tomozaki is a typical gamer who has immersed himself in his favorite game, becoming one of the best players in the city. However, Fumiya finds himself inadequate when it comes to real-world challenges, and has barely any social life to speak of. When he and a player from his favorite game, Aoi Hinami, meet in real life, he's taken aback that she is the complete opposite of him, with skill both in the game world and the real world. Aoi decides to raise Fumiya's level in real life, taking him on a slew of adventures. There are plenty of anime to watch since this series has finished airing; here are more romance anime to watch for those who love Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki.
