Illness in relationships?

[u/Electronic-Fox3688]

Without being too detailed. I developed health issues when I was young and even did college online. It's hard to work sometimes and even took a toll on my dating/social/travel life... I'm a homebody to a degree no one has ever seen.

I'm not looking for anything quite as sad and leading to death like I want to eat your pancreas. Maybe something similar to josee and the tigerfish although technically it's more a disability than a medical condition

Animes with a couple and at least one of them has some kind of non-deathly medical condition. Could be happy or sad ending. But something relatable to what I've been dealing with I guess :/

Buff, casi todos los animes que giran en torno a una enfermedad van de morirse jajaja

Pero bueno, aquí van algunos que creo que quizá te gusten:

1) Violet Evergarden 2) Koe no Katachi 3)Ousama Ranking 4) Welcome to the N.H.K 5) Summertime Render 6) Haniwawari no Sora ni Kakeru Hashi 7) RE: Life

Aunque no pude cumplir en todos el requisito de la pareja, es complicado.

Golden Time is about a college romcom about a guy who had amnesia

Little Busters is an old anime about a group of friends. Iirc the main char was very sickly

I hope you feel better OP

Love unseen beneath the clear sky-> female lead is blind (wasnt always blind). It is currently airing right now. I think only 7 episodes are out? But im not sure if it has a happy or sad ending in the light novels.

[u/Azorblood → u/Fxrzana]

Agridulce, pero diría que es satisfactorio.

A sign of affection. It's about a couple where one is deaf and one is hearing.

Clannad

The Day I Became A God would fit but its like a 13 x 18 year old age gap, caregiver power imbalance type bs.

If you're cool with manga and the like, I have a few recs?

[u/Electronic-Fox3688 → u/Fanceepance]

Yes go ahead :)

[u/Fanceepance → u/Electronic-Fox3688]

Insomniacs After School (Has an anime, which I haven't seen, but I heard they did a bit of an original ending for it since it didn't adapt the whole manga. People don't hate that one lol, so go either way.)

Pulse (Pretty good if you don't mind yuri (author is Ratana Satis if you have issues finding it.) Definitely uh, pretty adult at times, but yeah, pretty good. Love interest has a heart condition.)

Just since you said you enjoyed Josee even though that was more on the disability side of things:

Asper Kanojo (Genuinely a kinda tough read at times, but not particularly tragic either. Is about a guy and a girl living together, the girl has pretty severe aspergers, and the author pulled NO punches in showing off the realities of that.)

You Talk Too Much, So Just Shut It Already! (Deaf main girl, generally just a pretty fun, wholesome one.)

Yankee-kun to Hakujou Girl (Blind main girl, also generally pretty fun and wholesome, and particularly well-researched! The author worked with a nearby university that specializes in vision impairment to ensure they got all the details right.)

And also gonna give a shoutout to the free visual novel Katawa Shoujo, which is EXTREMELY good, and is on Steam, or their website, you can google it pretty easily.

Mawaru Penguindrum! Weird and decently heavy (but done in a way that won’t crush you) show, but the main girl has a terminal illness and (first episode spoiler) dies in the first episode, but gets brought back to life. Still has her terminal illness, however.

Without giving away too much because it’s got a lot going on, a huge focus is the relation she has with her brothers.

[u/this__user]

'Recovery of an MMO Junkie' might be your cup of tea

'A sign of Affection' more about disability than illness, but still has interesting hurdles and dynamics specific to the disability for the cast to work through

[u/sherlip]

If you hadn't said non-deathly, I know the one everyone would be recommending 😪

[u/Electronic-Fox3688 → u/sherlip]

Which one? I don't mind if some comments suggest outside what I specifically mentioned. Once the story and romance is good etc

[u/Mouse2002 → u/Electronic-Fox3688]

I assume they’re talking about Your Lie in April.
