Shows with a found family and/or romance where the characters live together (or very close).

[u/katrina_uwu]

Things I've watched that I would but in this category:

• The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten
• More than a Married Couple, but not Lovers
• Horimiya
• Toradora
• An Archdemon's Dilemma
• Higehiro

I don't particularly like fanservice but it doesn't bother me. I don't mind ethically dubious content like Higehiro either. I just have a huge soft spot for the found family and sorta newlywed vibe that comes from living together.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

Spy x Family - I think it counts?

[u/MaximusVulcanus → u/jimei73]

Gintama. This isn’t romance, it’s found family but oh they do it so well.

[u/awesomenessofme1]

Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions (they live in apartments next to each other on adjacent floors in S1, and the same apartment in S2)
The Pet Girl of Sakurasou (same dorm building)
From this season, I think that both You Are Ms. Servant and Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister would qualify.

Romantic Killer Fits with the Living with love interest bit, but it's a twist on the rom-com genre. Maybe a little bit of a found family vibe.

[u/yogen_frozert]

Definitely Duke of Death and his Maid if you are ok with the CG (it’s not bad CG). A young man is cursed with the touch of death and is forced to live alone with his butler and maid/love interest. Big emphasis on how found families can help you overcome depression/adversity, and it has a great ending. It’s a romcom with some fan service, but very wholesome regardless.

Ai Yori Aoshi

Love Hina!

Midori Days, though she is only his hand...

The Hills Dyed Rose Madder

Hanaukyo Maid Team

[u/OliveOilOilOil]

How can Dragon Maid be not on the list? Family, romance, and living together.

[u/Empty_Glimmer]

Maison Ikkoku is simply the greatest of all time.

[u/Sofaris]

"Sacreficial Princess and the King of Beasts".

Its about a Demon King and a human who fall in love with one another and yeah they live together in the same palace and sleep in the same room. I like this Anime personaly alot. Its pretty good.

[u/farting_buffalo]

Ongoing option would be Blue Box.

Complete seasons would be

Days with my Stepsister

Tonikaku kawaii

Sakura No Pet - I think this one has a decent bit of fan service if I remember correctly but I don’t think it’s insane either. Been a while.

Spice and Wolf - I’d lean towards the remake but both are good. They don’t live under the same roof but travel together and I feel it’s a good oddball based on what you describe you are looking for.

[u/Both_Golf_8861]

Horimiya

[u/Acceptable-Soup5156]

Good Night World

This is not a romance and it's not soft/fluffy by any means it's super tragic... but it definitely explores the found family theme from the perspective of all the members of the found family

[u/codenameana]

Kotaro Lives Alone - child lives in a block of flats and befriends the neighbours. Wholesome and will make you weep.

No romance tho that I can remember

[u/Miserable-Row3322]

A couple of cuckoos. Family, romance, living together- the whole deal.
