As we eagerly await the arrival of otherworldly creatures this October, let’s celebrate the captivating supernatural romance anime that make the genre absolutely worthwhile.

Inu x Boku SS

No vampires here, but there’s plenty of otherworldly charm to be found. Inu x Boku SS introduces us to Soushi, a handsome and protective companion who is willing to sacrifice everything for his beloved Ririchiyo. Their complicated romance is a delightful mix of volatility and heartwarming awkwardness, far more comforting than the usual dangerous love tropes.

Beyond the Boundary

This supernatural romance takes an unexpected turn when a boy meets a girl with glasses who proceeds to impale him with a blood sword. Luckily for him, he’s immortal, and she eventually realizes his genuine respect and care for her. Beyond the Boundary masterfully combines humor, action, and romance without the usual whiny tone found in teenage diaries.

Hiiro no Kakera

In Hiiro no Kakera, Tamaki, our fearless heroine, finds herself surrounded by five powerful guardians, most of them being descendants of powerful oni. As she navigates their affections, Tamaki awakens as the mighty Tamayori Princess, determined to save the one she loves. This refreshing take on reverse harem pairs well-rounded bishounen with an independent heroine who knows how to hold her own.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia

High school student Teiichi stumbles upon a beautiful ghost named Yuko. Enthralled by her mystery, he establishes the Paranormal Investigations Club to uncover the truth behind her stay in the mortal realm. Despite her mischievous and possessive nature, Yuko’s determination to control her own destiny adds a human touch to their relationship. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia weaves supernatural mysteries into a tale of romance.

Maoyu

Prepare for a unique fantasy romance set in a war-torn land. A hero ventures to defeat the demon king, only to discover a lovely, economically-savvy demon QUEEN awaiting him. As the story unfolds, their blossoming romance becomes intertwined with the desire to create a better world. These well-rounded characters build their connection through countless adventures, instead of relying on cliché star-crossed lovers. And did we mention the demon queen looks amazing for being over 100 years old?

Bonus: Love, Chunibyo, & Other Delusions

Chunibyo is a condition that typically strikes pre-teens, blurring the boundaries between childhood and adulthood. Love, Chunibyo, & Other Delusions follows the story of Rikka, who believes the world is filled with supernatural elements and secret organizations. Her relationship with Yuuta, who is firmly against Chunibyo, showcases a deep understanding and mutual acceptance of each other’s feelings.
