Why do so few romance animes only focus on the parts before the couple actually get together? Some of the most interesting times in a relationship is once you actually start getting to really know the person and figure out each others deeper emotions, urges and desires while trying to puzzle together your different compatibilities as you become a dedicated couple. Its not like everything turns blad and boring once you get together with someone.

Sex breaks the immersion, that's why. You can no longer self-insert if the MC has sex

we already have a thread

sure, but pic unrelated?

>Why do so few romance animes only focus on the parts before the couple actually get together?
Because most authors aren't capable of writing something beyond that. An exemple? Your pic

that's a stupid meme, if anything you'd be more compelled to self insert as someone who canonically had sex. Purityfags aren't the only kind of self inserters

Because it's not relatable to their main audiece, which is either little boys or very unfortunate adults who will never have sex.

This is also the same reason why every series is "boy did nice thing to girl" or "girl fell in love at first sight", because young boys and failed adults are unable to create a scenario in their heads where girls would fall in love with them, actual relationships have a build up before people get together, there is need for actual chemistry which most shonen romances lack, see Nagatoro for example, it's a gyaru failing in love with a crybaby loser, where in reality she would bully him for real, there is absolute no reason for them to like each other and the story just skips this part and replaces it with romcom tropes that will eventually skip to the part they suddenly realize they need to be together for magical reasons.

this was a great chapter, I also think past school festival arcs were decent toom

see

Pretty spot on with the nagatoro comment. She really just likes senpai in the begining because.....she just does OK ????

meant more as an open-ended all romcom anime than just kaguya, just thought i was a good pic for the thread.

Because they are rarely well written or pulled off without a MASSIVE dip in quality, also we already have a thread

Holo/Lawrence has two seasons worth of build-up and people eat that series up. Most anime doesn't avoid the build-up because their "target audience" wouldn't get it, most anime avoids the build-up because it's wish fulfillment trash designed for quick dopamine releases to keep you hooked to their plots. It's much easier from a narrative sense to give an immediate rapport with the MC and his love interest.

It's no different than Western porn's obsession with incest. Because it's easy.

Surprisingly the 100 Girlfriends manga does decently at showing actual dates. Though it’s helped by being a fairly episodic manga, so they can easily wait a while between date chapters until they have a nice idea. They also aren’t forced to stick to one girl and to make things feel different with them every time, so that’s a big boon they have.

Pray tell what legitimate reason a girl should have to fall in love with a man?
Clearly you know your stuff, mr. relationship expert. Do share, enlighten us

One of the few things I hate in romance series is when they do a timeskip and show the MC having kids and ends. I just want to see their SOL as couple/married even if it's just a few chapters.

It's asking why most war stories focus on combat and battles as opposed to logistics and training. "Will they or won't they" generates way more tension thab "how would they".

Prepare to be disappointed if they continue Spice and Wolf from where S2 stopped because the novels drag the "will they won't they" until the 17th and final volume, which makes it even worse than your usual romcom in that sense.

>see Nagatoro for example, it's a gyaru failing in love with a crybaby loser, where in reality she would bully him for real
The original Nagatoro was a sadist, so she got off on treating him like shit.

Because the primary audience is teenage girls without much experience who only fap to the highlights.
