4: Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki
If you’re a cult romance lover then don’t bother to follow the bottom-tier character Tomozaki which does have a freak loner MC but lacks romance. Honestly, it’s more focused on the journey of loner mc to learn socialization than romance that’ why this anime considered underrated in romance genre.
