Forget A Sign of Affection, Horimiya Introduced a Character So Good That Even His Love Interest Wanted Him to Be a Red Flag

From classic tsundere dynamics to more complex portrayals of love and understanding, modern romantic anime has evolved significantly. Among these stories, A Sign of Affection and Horimiya stand as shining examples of how characters with depth and charm can elevate a simple love story to another level.
