Anime for romance and fantasy readers

Ranked list by Ivy Laurent · 18 items · 0 likes

I read manga first, so I rank adaptations by how well they respect the page. Softer picks sit higher than most lists allow.

   Follows the manga closely and stays faithful to its end.

   Made me finally read all twenty-three volumes.
