Hm, slowburning romance? Try:

Kimi ni Todoke.

It's not particularly complex; it's more a slow but steady progress. The show is an idyll: It's designed to make you feel safe. The romance is enveloped in a wider theme of friendship. Since the main girl has been an outsider for so long, both having friends and romantic love is new to her. She often can't tell the difference between admiration (something she's used to) and the give-and-take of a real relationship, whether it's a romance or a friendship. The show details her journey to confidence, so to speak.

There are two seasons; only the first one is a masterpiece, IMO, but if you liked the first season, you'll want to see the very satisfying finale.
