New Romance Anime 2025

New Romance Anime 2025

The year is not only moving along nicely, but it might genuinely be remembered as one of the best in anime history. Seriously, each season has been packed with brilliant shows, and the 2025 romance anime lineup has been particularly great. If you adore love, then you have been enjoying a buffet for months, indulging in satisfying treats like I Have A Crush At Work, Kowloon Generic Romance, and The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity.

While sequels like My Dress-Up Darling and Dandadan have hogged the limelight to an extent, 2025’s ​​​​​new romance anime have made their mark as well, with each season delivering plenty of options. To make it as simple as possible to keep track of all the year’s love stories, we’ve listed them below, splitting them by their seasons.

Completely new anime are the focus; however, sequels are highlighted in a separate section. Movies are not included. Also, no donghua, OVAs, or ONAs; just series that are airing as part of each quarter’s lineup. Finally, this article will be updated every month to reflect changes in the seasonal lineups.

Updated on October 10, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The Fall 2025 season is underway, and it is actually packed with new romance anime. Seriously, it is the season of love.

Winter 2025 Romance Anime

I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!?

Blending supernatural elements with comedy and some romance, I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? follows a very ordinary guy as he is dragged into the world of ninjas by Shizuri. While talented and deadly, the latter is also 100% a NEET, meaning she tends to spend her “off” time playing games and generally refusing to go out.

Prioritizing fanservice, this series is a lighthearted romp that never takes itself seriously. Romance is part of the equation, but it is not the selling point. The anime is way more driven by silly hijinks and ecchi content.

Winter 2025 Anime Lineup: Where To Watch Every Series

The Winter 2025 anime season has many huge shows, and they are spread across Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Netflix, Hulu, and more.

I’m Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class

Image of Saito and Akane fighting in I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class

One of the better 2025 romance anime, I’m Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class is notorious for having polarizing characters, particularly its female protagonist. That said, the source material is funny, and that has rubbed off on the anime. If anything, the adaptation’s fantastic voice acting elevates the material, adding a touch of cuteness to Akane’s tsundere antics.

I’m Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class is a better pick for comedy than romance fans, but the show should not leave the latter starving either. While they cannot seem to decide if they hate or love each other, Akane and Saito have great chemistry and banter, working well as both a comedy duo and a fledgling couple.

I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons

I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons leticia and clarke-1

A more fantasy-laden romance, I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons is all about a duchess who has been tied to a prince, despite her lack of enthusiasm at the prospect of becoming a princess. Despite making her disinterest clear, Leticia finds herself constantly having to go through lessons to learn how to become a princess, with Prince Clarke refusing to let her go.

The female lead is likable enough, but the content can be rather uncomfortable. Clarke forces Leticia to remain his fiancé, and she is very clearly against the thought of the relationship. However, her opinion slowly starts to change, but it is hard to shake the feeling that Stockholm Syndrome might have set in.

15 Best Fantasy Romance Anime, Ranked

Fantasy and romance go hand-in-hand, and that’s the case in the anime world as well, with these fantasy-romance representing the best of the genre.

Okitsura: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She’s Saying

Okitsura anime

A slice of life romance, Okitsura is all about Okinawa culture, presented through young love. Teruaki moves to the city but struggles with the dialect, even when talking to the girl that he genuinely likes (Hina). To allow them to communicate, they turn to a mutual friend (Kana) for assistance.

Okitsura is more slice of life than romance, although Teruaki does not hide his interest in Hina. They are not currently a couple, and they could very well remain that way for the entire season. Kana also has a crush on Teruaki, and she is a far more interesting character than Hina. Kana is essentially the main protagonist, with quite a few episodes being told from her perspective. Consequently, she feels like the end goal rather than Hina, especially since the latter is not that interesting.

I Have A Crush At Work

can you keep a secret

Also known as I Have a Crush at Work, Can You Keep a Secret? offers a refreshing change of pace by focusing on adults rather than high school students. Yui and Masugu are deeply in love and cannot resist their natural pull, which proves to be an issue since they work at a place where romance between colleagues is forbidden.

The manga has a pretty positive reputation, and this 2025 romance anime is a great adaptation, blending humor and wholesome moments well. Yui and Masugu are essentially leading two lives, and their attempts to make them work are entertaining and cute. Frustratingly, the anime is not available on a Western streaming platform, limiting its reach significantly.

Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms

medaka kuroiwa anime poster

Now, here is a 2025 romance anime that could be divisive. Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms revolves around Mona, a girl who can make any guy fall in love with her. She is extremely popular at school, being treated as something of an idol. However, while she pretends to be chipper and bubbly, she is far more cynical than she lets on. When a new transfer student arrives who seems unmoved by her presence, Mona makes it her mission to force Medaka to fall in love with her.

Mona falls for Medaka pretty much instantly, and her interest strengthens the more he rejects her. On his part, the boy’s reaction is solely based on the fact that he is set to become a monk, so he has to resist earthly desires. Mona does not make that easy, often going well beyond reason to try and get Medaka to blush and fall for her. Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms can be a bit one-note since so many segments follow a similar structure and end with essentially the same punchline.

Honey Lemon Soda

One of the biggest romance anime of 2025, Honey Lemon Soda shares a few similarities with Kimi ni Todoke. Both shows revolve around romances involving bullied/isolated girls and popular guys, with their relationships helping the former to come out of her shell.

7 Best Romance Anime TO Watch If You Like Honey Lemon Soda

These are some of the best romance anime titles to watch if you really like Honey Lemon Soda.

Honey Lemon Soda, the manga, has been around for roughly a decade, becoming a minor staple of the shojo romance scene. As J.C.Staff handled the adaptation, the anime has high production value, delivering warm animation that amplifies the central love story. Otherwise, the series is fairly typical for its genre and demographic.

Anyway, I’m Falling in Love with You

Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You episode 1 mizuho with the guys

Anyway, I’m Falling in Love with You falls under a rather polarizing romance subgenre: Reverse harem. As always, the story follows a girl who ends up right in the middle of a group of guys; this time around, the latter are connected via their school’s swimming club. The anime throws out a few interesting twists and focuses a bit more than usual on character development, so the anime could strike a chord with romance and harem fans.

Spring 2025 Romance Anime

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?

Can a Boy and Girl Friendship Hold Up trailer himari and yuu

Himari and Yuu have been close friends for a long time, and they do not have much desire to take things to the next level. However, they make a promise to marry each other if they remain single. When Yuu reconnects with a former crush, Himari has to suddenly examine her feelings for her friend.

best jcstaff anime

Best Anime From J.C.Staff, Ranked

J.C.Staff has been producing gold for decades, and here are the studio’s best anime.

Based on a light novel, Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive is a romance anime with a love triangle angle. Surprisingly, this was probably the genre’s most polarizing series of Spring 2025, largely due to Himari. She has shown herself to be quite manipulative and self-centered, which makes her interesting but not particularly endearing. The anime also introduces a few other very unlikable characters, most of whom seem to exist specifically to make Himari seem better in comparison.

Kowloon Generic Romance

Kowloon Generic Romance

    Haruka Shiraishi

    Reiko Kujirai (voice)


Arguably the most exciting new romance anime of Spring 2025, Kowloon Generic Romance envisions a sci-fi world that has mostly left the past behind. However, there is an exception: Kowloon, a city designed around old Hong Kong. This slice of nostalgia happens to be home to Reiko and Hajime, who work in the same place.

While they generally get along, an incident causes their relationship to take an unexpected turn, setting the stage for not only a romance but also a touch of mystery. Kowloon Generic Romance has two charming protagonists, a strong sense of mystery, and a unique setting. While fairly slow by most standards, this 2025 romance anime is atmospheric and fascinating, all the while featuring some great world-building.

The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl

Lady Blessed by the Gorilla God anime trailer

A Spring 2025 romance anime that caters to fantasy, harem, and comedy fans, The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl follows Sophia, a girl who is super strong due to being blessed by the Gorilla God. Despite not having any interest in a life of combat or attention, her strength makes her impossible to ignore, especially by the royal knights. This anime is technically Kachigarasu’s debut show as the studio formed toward the end of 2023; however, the company previously operated as Encourage Films.

Every Harem Anime Announced For 2025 (So Far)

Rent-a-Girlfriend and 100 Girlfriends are just two harem anime coming out in 2025, and there are plenty of other shows.

Witch Watch

WITCH WATCH


Release Date

April 6, 2025

Network

TBS, MBS, CBC, Tulip Television, BSN, tys, NBC, HBC, RKK, i-Television, SBS, IBC, BSS, MRO, OBS, TUF, RSK, TUY, tbc, RKB, SBC, KUTV, RBC, UTY, RCC, MRT, atv, MBC




OK, Witch Watch is kind of a weird one. Despite having all the ingredients to qualify as a romance, the series prioritizes comedy above everything else, to the point that it can only be recommended to people craving shows in that genre.

Still, romcom fans might get a kick out of Nico and Mori’s dynamic, with the former’s good-natured silliness juxtaposing well with the latter’s exasperated maturity. After completing her witch training, Nico returns home and takes on her childhood friend, Mori, as her familiar. Witch Watch is a blast.

The Shiunji Family Children

The Shiunji Family Children trailer

By the same author responsible for Rent-a-Girlfriend, The Shiunji Family Children might be an easier recommendation for harem rather than romance fans, but the story certainly fits within the genre as well. After living together for years, Shiunji and his sisters are told that they are only step-siblings, which (apparently) opens the door for romance. While not as popular as Rent-a-Girlfriend, The Shiunji Family Children has a more positive reputation, even if its slightly incestuous angle might put off some people. The anime has been OK so far, but it is solely for harem fans.

The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom

too-perfect saint anime trailer

The Too-Perfect Saint asks whether there is such a thing as, well, too perfect. As the eponymous saint, Philia is trained to fix everyone’s problems. However, her perfection turns off her fiancé, Prince Julius, who decides to sell her off to another kingdom.

Best-Romance-Anime-About-Married-Couples

Best Romance Anime About Married Couples

Not all romance anime focus on young couples falling in love. These great works show characters who live, grow, and love in committed relationships.

Once there, Philia gradually learns that she can live for herself and not just everyone else, all the while forming a bond with Prince Oswald. This anime is pretty good, with the story splitting its time between Philia and her even more interesting sister. While part of the equation, romance is not the anime’s only reason for existing.

Summer 2025 Romance Anime

Watari-kun’s ****** Is About to Collapse

Watari-kun no xx ga Houkai Sunzen satsuki

Naoto has a reputation for being a siscon, but his dedication to his sister is threatened when an old “friend” named Satsuki comes back into his life, bringing buried secrets into the spotlight. While the premise paints a thriller-esque picture, Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse is not that dark of a manga. This adaptation is one of the more surprising of 2025, as the source material ended in 2023 after releasing chapters for nearly a decade.

The show is mostly just fine. Expect love triangles, misunderstandings, light yandere elements, and slightly trashy elements. Satsuki does not come across as particularly likable, which is fine as she is meant to have a somewhat antagonistic personality.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

April Showers Bring May Flowers hana and yosuke

Hana has a low opinion of herself, at least when it comes to her physical appearance. However, that perception is challenged when a popular classmate, Yosuke, shows interest in her. Based on a seinen manga that produced more than 70 volumes before ending in 2022, April Showers Bring May Flowers has a unique female protagonist, at least going by the romance genre’s typical output. The source material is relatively highly regarded, and Silver Link is not a bad choice for the adaptation. Honestly, April Showers Bring May Flowers biggest issue was that it didn’t air on something like Crunchyroll, which made it easy to miss.

Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex

Betrothed to My Sister's Ex marie hugging cyrus

A baron’s down-on-her-luck daughter is sent to marry a noble in place of her sister, setting the stage for an unexpected romance between two strangers. Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex debuted as a novel before receiving a light novel version, the latter of which has produced eight volumes so far. A josei manga adaptation is also ongoing, so this story has enjoyed a fair amount of success already.

Best Romance Anime On Netflix

Blue Box, Fragrant Flower, and Your Lie in April are just a few of the best romance anime streaming on Netflix.

Betrothed to My Sister’s Ex is a fine fantasy romance, even if it might struggle to stand out from the crowd due to this subgenre being a bit overexposed by this point.

Cultural Exchange With a Game Centre Girl

Cultural Exchange with Game Center Girl lily

A crane game employee helps an English-speaking foreign girl win a prize, starting a misunderstanding that could lead to romance. Hirokazu Yasuhara’s shonen manga is simple, enjoyable fluff, with cute and slightly awkward chemistry between the two leads. Honestly, I enjoyed this one more as a slice of life anime set in an arcade rather than a romance, mainly because the age difference between the protagonists makes that route pretty awkward.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity episode 1 kaoruko and rintarou

One of the most highly anticipated 2025 romance anime, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is based on a beloved and popular manga that has been going strong since 2021. The story revolves around two gender-specific high schools that exist next to each other and have a less-than-great relationship, largely due to Chidori being known for delinquent boys and Kikyo for wealthy elite girls. However, Rintarou and Kaoruko might try to break through the social barrier separating the schools.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is nothing short of brilliant, telling an adorable romance driven by two characters who have instant chemistry. The tension between the schools is well-done, but arguably distracts from Chidori and Kikyo’s cute relationship. Just let these two be together as much as possible.

There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…

There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover Unless trailer

Girls love anime are so infrequent that any new show needs to be celebrated, even if the genre does not have a particularly great track record. Putting aside subtext that rarely amounts to anything, anime that actively explore a same-sex romance have been almost non-existent during 2025. Fortunately, the second half of the year should be an improvement, and There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless… is pretty good.

Renako struggles to make friends, so she is pretty excited when she connects with Mai. However, when the latter confesses that she wants to be more than just best friends, Renako has to reconsider their relationship.

Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze

The Three Mikadono Sisters Are Surprisingly Easy trailer

This one might hit the mark more with people craving a harem or comedy, but romance fans should still enjoy Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze. After his mother’s passing, Yuu moves in with the Mikadono family, and he has to learn to get along with three very talented girls who excel in different areas.

While not naturally gifted, Yuu plans to ensure that his new family life is a positive experience. Although fairly notorious for moving at a glacial pace, the source material does a great job with all four main characters, allowing them to blossom as individuals and potential love interests. The adaptation has been rock-solid, and Yuu is comfortably the best part of this harem. To be honest, this anime barely qualifies as a romance, but I think it still warrants a recommendation.

With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess

Kizu darake Seijo yori Houfuku wo Komete trailer

Slightly reminiscent of The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom, With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess is a fantasy-based romance that has a fairly dark premise. Lua is a healer, but her ability comes with the caveat that she has to take on any wounds that she fixes. This shortcoming is not only dangerous, but has also turned her into something of a laughingstock who gets constantly bullied. Fortunately, Lua can rely on her close friend, Arianne, for support; unfortunately, the latter is not as wholesome as she seems.

Lua’s main romantic partner is Prince Sven, although romance should not be the story’s only focus. The premise is quite fascinating and has the potential to result in a pretty intense character-driven drama, but the anime has not been great so far.

Fantasy anime you haven't heard about

10 Best Fantasy Anime You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

These anime shows deliver compelling and creative fantasy adventures, though many anime fans have probably never heard of these underrated titles.

Solo Camping for Two

solo camping for two trailer

After receiving a live-action TV series earlier in 2025, Yudai Debata’s manga has been adapted into an anime, with SynergySP handling the adaptation. The studio has been around for decades, but its most recent outings have been relatively divisive. Hopefully, Solo Camping for Two will be a success story.

Now, the concept of following two characters while they go camping has plenty of potential, and it might conjure up memories of Laid-Back Camp. Solo Camping for Two is primarily slice of life, although there is a romance aspect since the story revolves almost entirely around Gen and Shizuku’s relationship.

Fall 2025 Romance Anime

Alma-chan Wants to Have a Family!

Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family anime cropped

Here is something a bit different from the norm, as Alma-chan Wants to Have a Family is about a robot girl who wishes her “parents,” the two scientists who created her, would get along better. Suzume and Enji do not seem to be dating, and they are mostly connected through Alma. Besides learning about love, the latter knows very little about humanity in general.

A Star Brighter Than the Sun

A Star Brighter than the Sun trailer

A Star Brighter Than the Sun should be a fairly traditional shojo romance that focuses on two childhood friends who are perhaps ready to take the next step. Sae becomes aware that Koki is all grown-up and pretty attractive, although she is not quite sure if she wants to try to turn their comfy friendship into something more. However, she needs to act fast before Koki finds himself in another relationship.

Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle

Chitose Is in the Ramune bottle  Teaser Trailer

Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle is primarily a harem, so I would only recommend the upcoming show if you are into both genres. The manga has a mostly OK reputation, but it does seem to be a fairly typical take on the harem genre. Saku is a popular guy who has been the subject of some nasty rumors, which causes problems when he is tasked with helping a shut-in schoolmate who hates him. Saku will be surrounded by five girls.

The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess

The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess trailer

Villainess isekai anime have become pretty common nowadays, with most seasons having one representative. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess will satisfy that quota for Fall 2025, and it comes with a fun twist as the protagonist finds herself living through a fantasy romance story she wrote when she was a teenager. The series will likely feature reverse harem elements, along with a heavy focus on humor.

Dusk Beyond the End of the World

dusk beyond the end of the world anime trailer-1

2025 has been a pretty good year for original anime, although it is always difficult to predict the quality of one of these shows. Still, P.A. Works is quite consistent, so Dusk Beyond the End of the World should be, at the minimum, decent. A sci-fi epic, the anime follows Akira, a teen guy who wakes up from a long sleep in a very different version of his world. He quickly meets Yuugure, a girl who looks similar to his girlfriend, and they go on a journey together. The trailer and plot description suggest an adventure romance anime, but we will have to wait to really see what type of show Dusk Beyond the End of the World ends up being.

Forget That Night, Your Majesty

Forget That Night, Your Majesty anime trailer

I’m including this one primarily for completionist’s sake, as I doubt the anime will attract much in the way of attention. Forget that Night, Your Majesty is a webnovel with a curse, a bride that does something pretty awful, and a relationship built on lies and forced marriage. The adaptation consists of 5-minute episodes that are more like motion comics than a full animated series.

Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota

Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota anime trailer

A common romance trope combines a loud character with a quiet partner, and Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota does not even attempt to hide its decision to use this type of couple. Oota is “expressive” in the sense that he becomes the center of attention by acting like an idiot. Conversely, Kashiwada bottles her emotions and mostly keeps to herself, which catches Oota’s eye. He makes it his mission to get a reaction out of Kashiwada. As they say, opposites attract.

Let’s Play

let's play anime trailer

A rare anime based on a Western webtoon, Let’s Play is all about a video game developer who has to play nice with a streamer who heavily criticized her debut project. This anime will likely have some harem elements, but there might be a pretty clear romantic partner. If nothing else, Let’s Play should be fun for the simple fact that it is set in Los Angeles, which is almost unheard of for an anime.

Li’l Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Right

Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right anime

OK, this Fall 2025 anime will be primarily a comedy, but it should have enough romantic subtext to at least warrant a mention. Luna is a new transfer student, and she happens to be a vampire. However, there is one big issue: she doesn’t know how to suck blood. She is absolutely terrible at it. Consequently, Tatsuta steps up to help his classmate learn how to advance her blood-sucking abilities.

Honestly, this description makes the show sound a lot dirtier than it is likely to be. I will not be surprised if this ends up being among Fall 2025’s most wholesome shows.

May I Ask for One Final Thing?

May I Ask for One Final Thing anime trailer

While most villainess anime feature an isekai inciting incident, exceptions exist. May I Ask for One Final Thing? is all about Scarlet, a woman who is absolutely tired of being treated like a punching bag by her awful fiancé. So, after she is falsely painted as a villainess, she sets out to get revenge on her former romantic partner, all the while attracting the attention of another prince.

Mechanical Marie

mechanical marie trailer

Now, here is a quirky romantic set-up. Arthur has everything, but the allure of his fame and fortune causes him to mistrust everyone and doubt their intentions. Consequently, he wants a mecha maid, which is not possible; therefore, he ends up with a strong human maid who is more than willing to act like a robot. Arthur does not know that Marie is not actually a robot, starting a peculiar relationship that could take a romantic turn.

My Awkward Senpai

my awkward senpai anime fixed

Well, here is an upcoming romance anime with a title that explains everything. Yuu ends up working at a new company and under the guidance of Kannawa, a senpai who is just awkward. While this show’s concept is nothing new, workplace romances are usually cute and fun, and they are a nice change of pace from high school or fantasy stories.

My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me!

My Friend's Little Sister Has It In for Me iroha anime

A playful female lead and a fake romance between two cousins, My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me might get an interesting reaction when it debuts in October 2025. The light novel and manga have been going strong since 2019, so this story has legs to it. Akiteru has a weird dynamic with his friend’s sister, Iroha, as she tends to annoy him whenever they meet outside of school. Also, he is asked to date his cousin by his uncle, which is just a normal request that families make.

Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!

Pass the Monster Meat anime trailer

Now, that is how you put together an eye-catching title! Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! might sound risqué, but the anime is actually about a noble woman, Melphiera, who loves to eat dishes made from monsters. She wants to find somebody who can match her love for this type of food, and Aristide seems to be the perfect person for the role. Comedy should be the main focus of this anime, although the two protagonists should be amusing.

Plus-sized Misadventures in Love!

Plus-sized Misadventures in Love anime cropped

Anime is not exactly known for diverse body types, so it is refreshing to see an anime that takes things in a different direction. Plus-sized Misadventures in Love! follows Yumeko, a girl who is very critical of herself. However, an incident causes her to gain self-confidence and self-love, inspiring her to embrace the world and love with open arms. Keisuke starts to see Yumeko in a different light.

This Monster Wants to Eat Me

this monster wants to eat me novel

Oh, yeah, here is a really exciting 2025 romance anime. Frankly, describing this show as “romance” is a bit misleading, but it fits the concept to an extent. Hinako has a death wish, and she also happens to have a scent that attract monsters to her. And, they want to consume her. Shiori, a mermaid, is absolutely obsessed with eating Hinako, but she wants to wait until she is at her best. So, she will protect Hinako from other monsters. (Girls) love works in mysterious ways.

With You, Our Love Will Make It Through

With You, Our Love Will Make It Through tsunagu and mari

One of the most highly anticipated anime of Fall 2025, With You, Our Love Will Make It Through is a fantasy romance that brings together a beastfolk and a human. Mari has never been exposed to the latter, so she is kind of excited and nervous to meet Tsunagu, a new beastfolk student who is joining her class. Long story short, they might want to be more than just classmates.

Yano-kun’s Ordinary Days

Yano-kun's Ordinary Days yano and kiyoko

A clumsy boy meets a kind girl, and sparks fly. Yano-kun’s Ordinary Days should be a blend of slice of life and romance, with the latter primarily revolving around Kiyoko and Yano. The latter is constantly covered in cuts and bruises due to his habit of falling, while the former just wants to make sure that her classmate is OK.
