Romance is one of the most beautiful and compelling things in the world. The only problem is that there aren’t enough romance anime out there that feature royal princesses falling in love with commoners, so we’ve compiled a list of our favorite ones for you to enjoy.
Romance doesn’t always have to be between a prince and a princess; sometimes, it can be between two people who feel as if they were meant to be together. These anime feature romances that make you believe that anyone can find their soul mate, no matter what background they come from.
Here are our top 10 picks for the best romance anime where princesses fall in love with commoners.
Here are the 10 best anime where princess falls in love with commoner
Have you ever watched a romance anime where the princess falls in love with a commoner? We’ve all dreamed of being whisked away to another world where we can find our true love, but it’s rare to find such a story in the anime world. The romance genre has long been dominated by royalty and nobility. But that doesn’t mean that commoners can’t find their princes. Here are ten of the best romance anime where princess falls in love with commoners.
10. Cross Ange
It’s time to teach the proud princess some life lessons. Cross Ange is about Angelise, a proud princess who is proud because she was born into the nobility but guess what? Her pride is about to come undone.
It turns out the nobles became nobles because they could control the technology known as mana. On her 16th birthday, Angelise finds out she cannot wield mana so it’s time to say goodbye to the nobility.
Now cast from a princess to a warrior, she needs to learn how to survive the harsh environment of an arsenal filled with mechas and dragons always trying to kill you. This is also where she meets a commoner named Tusk who has the oh I can’t balance myself and keep falling on the girl disorder.
You guys already know it’s the disorder most anime characters have these days, nothing to be surprised about.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(25 Ep.)
09. Princess Lover!
The title speaks for itself. There is this guy who keeps getting into troublesome situations; each time he does, someone from the nobility falls in love with him. It starts with Arima owning his grandfather’s wealth and becoming the family’s head.
Now you must go to an esteemed noble school where every girl acts like Angelise from Cross Ange. If you’ve been following the premise up until now, then you’ll already realize this is a ton of cliches in it and the good old falling upon the girl disorder, but you know what’s great?
The light humor tone, the main character and all these girls from the nobility. Somewhere around the second half, the show falls a bit flat but come on, the princesses are still there.
Dubbed – No
Season – 1(12 Ep.)
08. Shuffle
I spoke about Shuffle in my best yandere character in an anime article to remind you about the crazy psychopath our main character was living with, but now it’s time to talk about the two demon daughters living with our main character.
Shuffle starts off when gods and demons decide to live with this guy’s next-door neighbors. Our main two love interests are the daughters of the gods Sia and the daughter of the demons Nerine.
These are the two girls who start falling for our main character but will they stand a chance when there’s a crazy maniac in the same house. Watch the anime and find out.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(24 Ep.)
07. Dog Days
Nope, this doesn’t involve any dogs but it has humans who look like animals. No, not the kind you see in anime like Beastars but the normal human-looking kind with cat and dog ears.
Yup, this is another innovative concept from your favorite country Japan. Dog Days happen in a world where dog-like people fight with cat-like people. The dog-like people realize they need a champion from another world and you guessed it right, you isekai genius, the champion is some poor bastard from our world.
Now he must use a weapon called a Palladion to defeat the cat armies and save the dog people. This might satisfy you if you need a sequel to the cats and dogs movie.
Dubbed – No
Season – 3(38 Ep.)
06. Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero
It’s time for some action romance anime. This is more like the badass guy protecting the innocent girl who’s secretly OP sort of anime.
In Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero, the world hero Akatsuki Ousawa arrives at the school babel with the daughter of the demon lord, helping to start a new life there, but the school itself becomes a mystery. It is said to be a school that trans interdimensional travelers but the demon lord’s daughter and his heroes soon realize that this is not the case.
This is one of those animes with an overpowered main character and something you must have surely come across in many power fantasy anime lists. Hey, don’t complain; this has a princess and there’s romance soap, so it belongs on this list.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(12 Ep.)
05. Maoyu: Archenemy and Hero
You have always seen the hero defeating the demon lord, right. But what if the demon lord is a girl. Will the hero rise to the blade against an anime girl? No, the heroes start acting embarrassed and the demon lord takes him on tour across her country.
That’s when the hero thinks the demon queen isn’t bad after all; why are we fighting all this time? The rest of this show involves the two deciding to work together in order to bring back peace to the kingdom.
Yep, it’s your good old fantasy setting with demons, magic, and epic heroes but this time with a little bit of a twist to the trope. The romance also feels refreshing since this time we need both parties to understand each other for the romance to work.
But there’s a little bit of a love triangle going on but you know these stories go. If you have two girls fighting over you why not choose them both.
Dubbed – No
Season – 1(12 Ep.)
04. To Love Ru Darkness
I need to choose the sequel darkness because it’s more superior to the older series in terms of everything and it also has the name of my favorite character, darkness.
To Love Ru Darkness is a sequel to the original To Love Ru franchise, where a shy high school student named Rito Yuuki meets Lala Satalin Deviluke, a girl from a planet of devils who runs from forced marriage.
Lala declares Yuuki as her true love and later in Love Ru Darkness her two sisters arrive to live with Yuuki as well. This anime is pretty popular for its fan service, but in terms of enjoyment, it is 100 out of 10.
This is also one of those anime where the laws of physics make Newton’s jaw drop to the floor, so expect some good old no-physics scenes you see a lot of in ecchi anime.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(24 Ep.)
03. The Familiar of Zero
You know what you’re going to say; wait a minute, Louise isn’t a princess but don’t forget we have the best girl Henrietta and even though most of her scenes come in the final season but we still get two seasons worth of princess commoner love material.
Familiar of Zero starts when a girl in this fantasy world named Louise summons a familiar from our world named Saito Hiraga. Saito was just an average high schooler who needed to live a normal life but that soon became a dream as he now needed to serve Louise and even save her from embarrassing moments.
Familiar of Zero also leans a bit towards the harem route, so make sure to expect some love triangle, rectangle, octagon type romances by the time you get to the final season.
Dubbed – No
Season – 4(49 Ep.)
02. Yona of the Dawn
Here we have another princess thrusted to the normal world and forced to adapt to our new situation. I know, just like Cross Ange but this time, our main female character isn’t a prideful one. She’s just too naïve.
Yawn of the Dawn princess Yona, who after being betrothed by his own kin, is forced to escape the kingdom with his childhood friend and bodyguard Son Hak. Son Hak is Yona’s best friend and the more realistic of the two and being realized as a princess among luxuries, Yona never realizes the real struggles of the people, and the anime shows how she develops over time.
It’s rare for romance anime to focus on the main female character and give her enough development, so this one will be refreshing since it shows Yona’s character development over time.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(24 Ep.)
01. Tada Never Falls in Love
Topping off at number one is Tada Never Falls in Love. Why ask? This is wholesome. It’s got a good princess commoner relationship and the characters are all likable. Mitsuyoshi Tada one day assists a lost foreigner named Teresa and soon they realize they visit the same school.
Tada is also a good photographer and has some painful past memories. The anime follows his relationships with his friends, and how he and Teresa get together as a couple and even though the anime’s title is Tada Never Falls in Love, Tada actually falls in love. I know you never saw that coming.
The series waits till the very end to complete its romance arc, so be ready for some serious cliffhangers in the last few episodes. This is also one of those anime that proves true love doesn’t have any barriers. I really hope that didn’t sound too cheesy.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(13 Ep.)
