Modern romance anime have said their goodbyes to most of the toxic tropes and stereotypes related to the genre. Fans have experienced fewer one-dimensional female characters and the same old high school drama in recent rom-coms. However, one thing that made classic rom-coms have supremacy over modern love stories is the "rom."
