Titles with Apocalypse and Romance?

[bruizehhh]

Hey all, I'm new to the world of manga and anime, and looking for any titles that involve apocalyptic themes combined with romance.

Bonus points if they have opposite personalities. Something like Zom 100: Bucket list of the dead, which I haven't even seen yet but it somewhat matches what I'm looking for.

Thanks for any suggestions! <3

Thanks for any suggestions! <3

Well, imho, it's very rare to find a good story with Romance and Post-Apocalyptic tropes.

But I would still recommend these titles because of the post-apocalyptic mood and the evolution of the characters' relationships:

• Girls' Last Tour - two girls who travel in this post-apocalyptic world.
• A Good Day for Labyrinth - a band who explore the "labyrinth" kinda apocalyptic. (oneshot)
• Afterschool Time of the Earth - a band who lives in a post-apocalyptic world with a touch of mystery.
• TELOMERE - siblings who survive in post-apocalyptic/zombie world.
• A God's Response to the 3000th Year - a girl and a boy travelling kami's worlds. Kinda chaotic worlds but def not post-apocalyptic. If you like it you may like Kino's Journey - the Beautiful World.

Lastly, action-ish, survivalistic story in a post-apocalyptic world with rushed romances: Return Survival.

yeah, the romance part is what makes it difficult
everyone is more focused on surviving rather than getting some action

I wanna say for anime... maybe Sukasuka? The manga is just so-so in my opinion,

Something like Zom 100

zom100 is more on the comedy side rather than the survival side, right?
so maybe you can check Isekai Yurutto, if you like something a bit more horny that is

Damn, I guess that is the norm in this space. The few sites I've visited that have the Romance tag, they're all usually just full on smut with not much of a storyline. I do know good ole' fashioned books probably have what I'm looking for, but I was hoping I could find some material with some visual stimuli haha.

Uhm not going to lie, the only reason why I referenced that was because I saw a suggestion for it on a Reddit thread, and I just read the personality traits of Shizuka and Akira and thought it would be interesting if they became a romantic couple, didn't notice that it was apparently more comedic in nature though.

if you like something a bit more horny that is

Heh, nah >)

haha, ok
then the more closer apocalypse to us, and a quite nice romance:
New Normal

there's another one where the setting is in Russia, be back in a bit

 

[undeed]

Moscow 2160
found it
I kept remembering the name Artyom, but no, Artyom is in Metro Exodus, not in manga
it is still fairly new, and the romance is not that apparent yet
but I have high hopes for it

Reading the first few chapters now, I'm liking it so far!

Ikitemasu ka? Honda-kun is a comedy-romance, set in a zombie outbreak.

I don't have much bookmarked that's properly romance + apocalypse. A classic action series with those points would be Fist of the North Star, if you like that then you'll have a lot to read before moving to the next work.

Some one-shots set on an apocalyptic world:

• I Want to Leave Behind a Miraculous Love (the rest of the anthology isn't apocalyptical, just this one)(+18).
• Tengoku no Hakoniwa.
