One of the best anime series of all times. It explores the relationships between young 20 somethings who are out on their own for the first time.
It features romance, friendship, betrayal, modern sacrifice, following your dreams, and slice of life moments.
Definitely a romance Anime, but one that doesn't shy away from relationship progression, intimacy, and conflict.
Nana
Fruits Basket is a reverse harem (one female led surrounded by many males) anime focused on a high school girl who must learn to navigate the world without her mom.
The protagonist gets to know a family with an ancient embarrassing secret, when members of the opposite sex touch them, they transform into Zodiac animals.
This anime progresses beautifully and contains some dark moments that add depth and dimension to the characters.
