Good Morning Call and Handsome Girl are both short looks at a budding romance. While neither gives you a large character development or serious plot, both are warm and lighthearted pieces which will leave you thankful for a sig other (if you have one ;) ).

Good Morning Call and Handsome Girl are relatively similar stories consisting of one episode each. Both short stories portray a love between the main characters that is just blooming. Each has its own way of being light hearted and expressing joy in young love.

In a whimsical tone, Shuhei promised he'd wait for her to grow up to be a beautiful woman, and would then give her love a chance. Now, four years later and through a twist of fate, sixteen year old Seara is living with Shuhei, his sister Koharu, and their parents, though Seara's identity is unknown and unremembered by her longtime love. With steep competition for his heart as well as a lacking chest size, Seara must do everything in her power to win the heart of the man she loves!

Handsome Girl and Baby Love both are fairly comical looks at budding love. From the length to the older animation style, and generally sappy but touching feel, I think if you liked one, you'd probably like the other.

Baby Love and Handsome Girl are one episode with a comedic aspect to them. The main characters encounter same type of problems and are unsure of themselves as the story begins. The characters learn how to grow with one another and develop steady feelings about what they want.

Kimagure Orange Road TV

A classic romantic comedy from the 1980's, telling the bittersweet story of three high school students. The series features very unique storytelling and direction, music from some of the biggest Japanese pop acts of the 1980's, and an added twist as Kyosuke and his family are ESPers, whose powers are used to tell unique stories and put the characters in unusual situations.

K.O.R. and Handsome Girl both focus on a central love theme and the trials and tribulations of that love being unrequited. Handsome Girl kinda glosses over a lot of the finer details, where K.O.R. (being a series) gets the time to go into them. Both are good if you're looking for a bit of a love story :)

Gravitation

As a member of a musical duo on the verge of making it into show business, Shindou Shuichi has a lot on his mind -- especially since he writes the songs for his Bad Luck band. His life gets no less hectic when he bumps into Yuki Eiri, a successful yet cynical author extraordinaire, who immediately insults Shuichi’s lyrics upon reading them. Seeking him out to demand an apology, Shuichi nevertheless sees other facets of Eiri’s personality. Can he accept the fact that he might be developing feelings for the novelist who discredited his work on their first meeting?

Though Handsome Girl isn't shounen-ai by any means, it shares a quirky romantic plot with Gravitation. Both happen to be related to succeeding in an extraordinary field, as well. If you like romance type series with flair, check this out.

Romance is the central and most important theme in Handsome Girl and Ah! My Goddess. Although Ah! My Goddess gives you more time to develop an affinity for the characters, you'll see heart-wrenching moments in each of these anime. I strongly recommend both for the hopeless romantic :)
