Lightbulb Any anime with Interracial Romance as the main theme?

Any anime with Interracial Romance as the main theme?

Like Carole and Tuesday but the pairing is a Black or Dark-Skin Guy with a White Girl.

For a Black guy he can be African inspired but for just a dark-colored guy he can be Asian/Indian/Japanese inspired. But no Dark Elf dudes, ok? I just want human characters from either fictional-based or IRL-based ethnicities.

I am making this thread because jealous so many Japanese Male Protagonists get to date or have harem with blonde white European-inspired girls in Anime lol, so I want Black Guys to get some love too with Super-Cute Animu Grills inspired from European setting

There aren't a ton of anime that specifically focus on interracial romance with a Black or dark-skinned male protagonist, but there are a few shows where you can find diverse relationships that come close to your preferences. Here are a few suggestions:

Anime:
  • Michiko & Hatchin – While not focused on a romantic relationship, this anime prominently features a strong Afro-Latina female lead, Michiko, and is set in a Brazilian-inspired world with diverse characters. It’s not the exact dynamic you’re asking for, but the setting and representation are unique.
  • Mister Ajikko – This classic anime features a character named Marui who is darker-skinned and gets into romantic entanglements. While romance is not the main theme, it showcases some cultural diversity.
  • Children of the Whales (Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau) – This anime includes a character named Ouni, a darker-skinned guy (Asian-inspired) with a lighter-skinned girl. While the setting is more fantasy-based, the character design might match your preference.
  • The Prince of Tennis (Tennis no Ouji-sama) – In the sequel series New Prince of Tennis, there are characters of mixed heritage. One prominent character is Kevin Smith, who is half-Japanese, half-American, with darker features.
  • Kuroko no Basket (Manga/Anime) – While this is a sports anime, there’s a character named Aomine Daiki, a darker-skinned Japanese athlete who is highly popular among fans. He doesn’t have a major romantic arc, but fanbases often imagine him paired with lighter-skinned characters.

Manga (More focused on romance):
  • Afro Samurai – This one may appeal to you because of its Afrocentric lead, though it leans more toward action and less romance. It does have a Western-European-inspired setting that may match the vibe you’re after.
  • Love is a Battlefield (Doujinshi) – While it’s a fan-made work, it does feature a darker-skinned male character and a white female character, offering a unique take on the dynamic you're looking for.
  • While the exact dynamic you’re asking for is still somewhat rare in anime, these selections explore a few relationships and worlds that involve diverse characters and could match what you're after! Hopefully, more anime will embrace these types of pairings in the future.

Tenjou tenge. Bob isnt the main character(MC needs to conquer 1st base), but he starts with romance and.......

There was a cool old Chinese/Korean manwha I forget the name where the MC is Korean, but falls for a tall African girl who comes to his school. Good romance and not a long read. She is a badass and popular and the banter between the two is fun.
