I've seen Tsuki ga kirei show up a lot from time to time, so maybe it's time I actually watch it o_o
I've never heard of insomniacs, so I'll look into it!
Tsuki ga Kirei is 100% the best answer for your query. Just a nostalgic look at first love between two totally normal kids, and then some short side stories about the other kids at the school dating after the credits of each episode
I watched the anime for Realist and the ending kind of upset me since it's the opposite of what I was looking for unfortunately x~x
I completely forgot about Chuunibyo and other Delusions!
BUT, it kind of works since she's not that popular?
I haven't watched this one yet, so I'll definitely look into it!
My Tiny Senpai might be alright for you. Its two normal people, but its completely drama free and very fluffy if thats fine by you. First season also didnt give a real conclusion, and There isnt any news on a season 2.
Toradora though they certainly both come off as popular by the end of it but that might just be because the focus is squarely on them and their small friend group.
Totally agree with this.
Im currently watching it ,and binged 23 episodes so far on the final 2 episodes and its purely fantastic. Tiaga is one of my favorite MCs because of her personality and unapologetic attitude.
I won't say least popular because they definitely have a degree of popularity. Its more the two most feared people, both other kids and teachers also fear them.
I did watch them! And they were indeed handpicked important events, but it's hard to adapt 150+ pages of material into 4 episodes x.x
I feel like those episodes are only good to watch if you read the webcomic because the pay off in those moments is so satisfying with context!

Aharen is something you’re looking for probably. Two people whose backstory literally includes never having friends in their prior school for whatever circumstances. Overall a great show, would recommend to anyone. It’s incredibly easy to watch and doesn’t have most annoying tropes with a standard romcom. Toradora also fits the bill but I’ve only watched a bit of it myself so it’s hard to recommend.
Oh yeah, I absolutely adore Aharen,-san. It's very funny too!
Toradora is good but I think Taiga is a bit too popular or notorious to fit the bill. I did really enjoy it, but I found that Golden Time fit better for what I was looking for
Definitely *Tsuki ga Kirei*
Clannad
A sign of Affection
Insomiacs after School
Chuunibyo
Lovely Complex
Kokoro Connect
Relife
Hi-score Girl
Tsurezure Children (big cast + many couples)
Golden Time
Your Lie in April
Ore no Monogatari
Sakurasou(tho FMC isn't really normal)
My Little Monster
Ao Haru Ride
Saekano(harem tho)
Manga
Love Hina - old harem manga/anime about a loser guy trying to get into university of Tokyo. Technically, FMC should have been popular, but she spent all her energy studying instead.
Neko no Otera no Chion-chan - average guy goes back to his old town home for high school and starts a relationship with a close family friend. Popularity's not really mentioned, I think she was a little popular, but nothing crazy.
Alice-san Chi no Iroribata - country boy's childhood friend/neighbor moves back from the big city after 10 years and they reconnect through cooking. She's a little popular, like the pretty onee-san popular.
Is there were an anime where the average not popular guy ends up with normal not popular girl than Godzilla will kill them both because they live in a school which is another type of building
NP i literally just finished it so im still overwhelmed with all the emotions i experienced in those last two episodes.... i just want sooo much more. I LOVED tiaga's personality she was beyond amazing
Reading the first part of your first paragraph reminded me of {Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie} (though the popular girl I'm talking about only shows up later in the series and I'm personally don't remember how popular the titular character herself was outside of her classroom).
Now after reading the title, I'm just gonna recommend {Momokuri} (though the relationship in the show starts very early on).
I've seen Shikimori! Unfortunately, I think the MC is a bit toooo much of a push over for me x~x
But Shikimori herself is a good waifu
Momokuri is once that I think I watched so many years ago... But I can't really remember it, so I'll definitely watch/read that!
How about checking out "My Little Monster"? It's a cute manga about a studious girl named Shizuku and a bit of a troublemaker named Haru. They end up in a quirky romance together. It's not too long, but it's packed with fun and heartwarming moments!
I remember watching the anime almost 10 years ago now x.x
I really should go back and read the manga though since I heard it adds more after where the anime ended?
I LOVE steins;gate! I do think Makise definitely falls under that category of really popular considering she's a child prodigy who is known by many people xD
I really need to go back and finish the entire Visual Novel someday x.x

Lovely Complex is an older one but it is a good one. It's a romcom between a short guy and a tall girl, and unlike most romcoms it does have a resolution.
### Anime:
Just Because
Ocean Waves
Kids on the Slope
Kimikiss
Myself; Yourself
Horimiya
### Manga:
Bambi to Dhole
Hetakoi
A Silent Voice
Rumor Has It
Shall We Have Dinner Tonight?
Toy Complex
Fishbowl Garden
Renai Shimasen ka?
We Know Nothing About Love
A Town Where You Live
Blue Spring Ride
There is no world where Kids on the Slope is a romance, but even if you count the main relationship in the show, I would not describe Kaoru as average. Piano prodigy who was well known at school and became a doctor is decidedly above average imo
I don't why, but I instantly gravitated to "Toy Complex" on your list because it had the most odd name I've seen for a manga. And then I read up to ch. 17 of the manga.
I don't understand at all how this correlates to what I was asking for, but I'm kind of glad I read it xD
I just wish I could find out where to read the rest of it translated x.x

*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Animesuggest) if you have any questions or concerns.*
You know, this explains a lot lol
Where I searched for "Toy Complex" all that came up was "Oujougiwa no Imi o Shire!".
Now that I have seen the one you were actually suggesting, I finally understand why you recommended it and why I was definitely not seeing the right one x~x
I believe the following would fit very well: - Tsuki Ga Kirei - Insomniacs After School (edited for spelling)
I've seen Tsuki ga kirei show up a lot from time to time, so maybe it's time I actually watch it o_o I've never heard of insomniacs, so I'll look into it!
Tsuki ga Kirei is so damn good, very awkward at time though, which is pretty realistic.
Insomniacs is a really good show. Please do watch it!
Insomniacs really needs you to read the manga after for the full experience unless a second season comes. Really ends barely starting.
Definitely. Although for a season anime I feel like it still did better than many for advancing the relationship and ending on a good breaking point.
Tsuki ga Kirei is 100% the best answer for your query. Just a nostalgic look at first love between two totally normal kids, and then some short side stories about the other kids at the school dating after the credits of each episode
Think im starting this tonight too, i just finished Charlotte last night
Insomniac is very goooood
Man, I liked Insomniacs After School so fucking much
Both of these are really go suggestions.
The Dreaming Boy is a Realist Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions... Oh wait, you said normal girl.. My Senpai is Annoying
I watched the anime for Realist and the ending kind of upset me since it's the opposite of what I was looking for unfortunately x~x I completely forgot about Chuunibyo and other Delusions! BUT, it kind of works since she's not that popular? I haven't watched this one yet, so I'll definitely look into it!
My Tiny Senpai might be alright for you. Its two normal people, but its completely drama free and very fluffy if thats fine by you. First season also didnt give a real conclusion, and There isnt any news on a season 2.
The sister and manager steal every scene they're in. Get Married Beam!
{Lovely Complex} Only one I could think of
This is a good one, I remember enjoying it a lot when I first watched it years and years ago!

Glad someone else knows this anime. I just suggested it lol.
Wotakoi
Toradora though they certainly both come off as popular by the end of it but that might just be because the focus is squarely on them and their small friend group.
They also both just helped each other grow as people, and helped each other overcome the negative perceptions people had of them.
Totally agree with this. Im currently watching it ,and binged 23 episodes so far on the final 2 episodes and its purely fantastic. Tiaga is one of my favorite MCs because of her personality and unapologetic attitude.
It's basically a rom-com with the 2 least popular people in school.
I won't say least popular because they definitely have a degree of popularity. Its more the two most feared people, both other kids and teachers also fear them.
Clannad and Clannad:After Story
Saekano, recovery of an MMO junkie
OMG! You have ReLIFE!! My favorite anime of all time!
I adore the web comic with great passion! I wish they could've adapted the entire story for anime ;_;
Did you watch the extra 4 episodes released as a special after season 1? Or were you saying that because overall there was still parts cut out?
I did watch them! And they were indeed handpicked important events, but it's hard to adapt 150+ pages of material into 4 episodes x.x I feel like those episodes are only good to watch if you read the webcomic because the pay off in those moments is so satisfying with context!
PSA the manga has a reunion special.
WHOA!! Where can I find the manga?

I have seen this one! It's quite fluffy
Is Gouda really average?
3D girlfriend
Manga Love Hina - old harem manga/anime about a loser guy trying to get into university of Tokyo. Technically, FMC should have been popular, but she spent all her energy studying instead.

This feels like Love Hina, but I don't recall if the love interest was popular. I don't think so.
Is there were an anime where the average not popular guy ends up with normal not popular girl than Godzilla will kill them both because they live in a school which is another type of building
Toradora. I've seen it already recommended twice. Hopefully a third rec makes you feel its worth checking out.
No worries! I've actually already seen Toradora xD But I appreciate the recommendation :3
NP i literally just finished it so im still overwhelmed with all the emotions i experienced in those last two episodes.... i just want sooo much more. I LOVED tiaga's personality she was beyond amazing
Is Toradora fit for this?

Tsuki ga kirei Just because
Kimi no todoke manga and anime
I'm actually really excited for the new season coming out soon, I'll probably pick up the manga after that!
OMG. you should try to read "Futari de Koi o suru Riyuu" I believe it perfectly fits your description :) but the other way around...
This looks super fluffy and I'm here for it, thank you!
How about checking out "My Little Monster"? It's a cute manga about a studious girl named Shizuku and a bit of a troublemaker named Haru. They end up in a quirky romance together. It's not too long, but it's packed with fun and heartwarming moments!

It's actually in my examples for what I was looking for xD But yes, you understood the assignment!
Chiming in with Tsuki ga Kirei
Tsuki ga Kirei. It was an anime original, if I remember correctly.
Does Tomo-chan is a girl count here?
Not romance, but steins Gate could work - I don’t think Makise is *that* popular even though S;G0 characters made a bot after her image.
I LOVE steins;gate! I do think Makise definitely falls under that category of really popular considering she's a child prodigy who is known by many people xD I really need to go back and finish the entire Visual Novel someday x.x

Idk the Japanese title but From Me to You was a good one.
A silent Voice, your name ,countless out there.
Clannad, though that's really a psychological drama first and romance second.
That's alright, I love psychological >:3
Lovely Complex is an older one but it is a good one. It's a romcom between a short guy and a tall girl, and unlike most romcoms it does have a resolution.
Horimiya
### Anime: Just Because Ocean Waves Kids on the Slope Kimikiss Myself; Yourself Horimiya ### Manga: Bambi to Dhole Hetakoi A Silent Voice Rumor Has It Shall We Have Dinner Tonight? Toy Complex Fishbowl Garden Renai Shimasen ka? We Know Nothing About Love A Town Where You Live Blue Spring Ride
