Fruits Basket will teach you about every type of love that exists and how you can ensure that your relationships and friendships are healthy and positive. It's also a great anime for you to learn of the ways you can show your loved ones that you cherish before it's too late.

Our protagonist, Tohru Honda, showed her mother, Kyoko, nothing but unconditional love by waiting for her every night, even when Kyoko had no desire to come home. Tohru then showed this same act of love to her new friend (and later, romantic interest) Kyo Sohma, but when she realized that Kyo wasn't as receptive to this act due to his past trauma, she took some steps back until she knew he was ready.

Tohru loves big and loud, which is why she's the perfect person for you to spend time with.

Tomo-chan is a tomboy who is rough and tough. But underneath that hard exterior is an inexperienced young girl who wants to fall in love with her best friend, Jun. Jun is just as experienced, having never really fallen in love nor knowing what signs to look for when someone does have a crush, so all of Tomo-chan's efforts go unnoticed or, sometimes, even get shut down completely.

Worst of all, Jun doesn't even see Tomo-chan as a girl!

Thankfully, with a little bit of courage and the support of her very good friends, Tomo-chan continues to strive to get her romantic feelings through Jun's head and won't stop until she says everything on her chest. Perhaps you can relate!

See all this and more in the official trailer for Tomo-chan is a Girl! below!

Hopefully, this anime gives you and your friend the push you need to enter the next stage of your relationship! If Tomo-chan and Jun can do it, you certainly can, too!

Undoubtedly, every single anime in this list will leave you feeling lovey-dovey, so be sure to head over to Crunchyroll to stream all these titles for Valentine's Day!
