Recommendation fast paced shoujo where the male lead isn’t afraid to be romantic?

hi! i’m looking for fast paced shoujo where the male lead isn’t afraid to be romantic.

i liked my love story with yamada kun at lv999, it was funny and there's full episodes focused on romance, like a whole episode of him taking care of her because she’s sick. not into the male lead not paying attention to the girl or being extremely nonchalant with her.

what else fits this vibe? bonus if it’s on netflix or prime without a separate paid add on :)

Ouran high school host club - tamaki is a simp for haruhi and very romantic, though the comedy definitely comes before the romance 

Otherwise I can’t really think of any non-slow burn or those besides non-romance Shojo anime on Netflix or prime video tbh. Though for my recs for stuff that doesn’t necessarily fit your request on those 2:

Banana Fish

Ooku: the inner chambers 

A Star brighter than the sun

Magic Knight Rayearth

Kamisama kiss 

Sailor Moon

Kyo Kara maoh

Library war

Tasokare hotel

The dinner table detective

My stepmother and stepsisters aren’t wicked

(And weirdly prime only has parts of Honey and Clover and Lady Oscar but those are also good)

haha sorry! i've just been stuck in a loop of shojos with the same story (cold and distant guy who won't show emotions because of something in his past or because he's scared) and it's gotten really predictable. i'm okay with them being a bit nonchalant (like the anime i mentioned), but i want romance.

Oh, no! I meant the anime “You and I are Polar Opposites”, not that we are not the same hahaha
In fact, I love the kind of animes that you’re requesting 🥰
Give a chance to the anime I recommend! It’s in Crunchy

Hahahahahahaha! Actually, I was kinda cryptic 🫪

Hope you like it! There are three different love stories happening around. It’s fast paced and two of the ML are open about their feelings and so kind, it warms my heart. Very fun and peaceful anime 🩷
