Often, they have relatable characters. Just like in My Love Story, the characters are not perfect, they have their flaws and insecurities. The development of the relationship is slow - burning. It doesn't happen overnight but gradually as the characters get to know each other better. Another characteristic is the focus on emotions. You can really feel the love, the confusion, the joy and the sadness of the characters.
There's 'Ao Haru Ride'. The story of first love and second chances in it is quite appealing. It has a lot of emotional moments. 'Nana' is another one. While it has many themes, the romance aspect between the characters is very well - done. And 'Clannad' is a classic. It not only has a great romance but also delves deep into family and friendship, which are intertwined with the love story.
Anime like this often include comedic elements. For example, misunderstandings between the characters that add humor to the love story. Also, there are usually some obstacles that the couple has to overcome, which makes the relationship more meaningful.
Another anime is 'Toradora!'. It focuses on the relationship between two high school students, Ryuuji and Taiga. They initially help each other out in their respective love pursuits but end up falling for each other. It has a lot of comedic elements along with a sweet and heartwarming love story.
