if you want a cute romance, i’d recommend you and i are polar opposites. it’s a fluffy high school romance that’s somewhat silly but the main couple is adorable and very wholesome. there’s no miscommunication drama or anything like that, which i personally always dislike bc it adds *unnecessary* drama. they also get together at the very beginning of the anime and you get to see them navigate a first relationship (you should definitely pick this one. i genuinely love this anime so much. i also read the manga in like a single day)
a sign of affection feels more “mature” overall, which is partially due to the characters being older. been a while since i watched it and thus don’t remember a whole lot, but it was also very cute.
apothecary diaries IS very good as the poll results suggest, and i do love the romance aspect, but it is not the main focus. if you’re up for mystery and drama, it’s great, but it you’re looking for a fun romance, the other two may work better for you. unfortunately i haven’t seen love through a prism so i can’t say anything abt it :(
anyway, i hope this helps! <3
