There's also 'Fruits Basket'. Kyo Sohma is a strong - built character. His love story with Tohru Honda is complex. With the added element of the Sohma family curse, their relationship develops gradually. Kyo has to overcome his own insecurities and the curse to be with Tohru.
A theme could be unexpected love. In 'Toradora!', Ryuuji never expected to fall in love with Taiga. They were so different and had other initial goals. But love just happened in an unexpected way. Also, friendship turning into love is a common theme. In many of these anime, the characters start as friends or at least friendly acquaintances, and then gradually develop deeper feelings for each other.
For 'Toradora!', Ryuuji's tough exterior but soft heart plays a big role. His love story with Taiga is special as they start off as friends who don't really like each other in that way at first. But as they get to know each other better while trying to help each other's crushes, they realize their true feelings. It's a journey of self - discovery and falling in love unexpectedly. It shows that love can develop in the most unlikely of friendships.
One anime that could fit is 'My Love Story!!'. The male lead Takeo Gouda is a big, tall guy. His love story with Rinko Yamato is really sweet. He is kind - hearted but his large stature has made him feel self - conscious in the past, but through his relationship with Rinko, he grows in confidence and they have a very pure and loving relationship.
It might be a male figure who plays a significant role in your love story. It could be an old friend who turned into a love interest and he has some 'big' qualities like being very kind-hearted and that makes him stand out as the 'big guy'. For example, he might always be there for you during tough times, which makes him seem larger than life in the context of your love story.
One common theme is self - discovery. In many such stories, the guy discovers more about himself through his relationship with the girl. For example, in 'Your Lie in April', Kousei rediscovers his love for music and his own self - worth while falling in love with Kaori.
Again, without knowing the actual story, it's difficult to say. But generally, his big neck could be a symbol of something unique about him, like his strength if it's a story about a warrior, or it could be a mark of his difference in a society that values uniformity.
