I rewatch Horimiya and Dress Up Darling regularly. I'll admit that I was a little devastated when the Dress Up Darling manga ended.

Ore Monogatari. I don't wanna spoil in case anyone hasn't seen it, but it gives as many cute, romantic vibes as possible with very little drama, and everyone's just a sweet bean.

I have a few:

  • Clannad
  • Fruits Basket
  • Your Name
  • Plastic Memories

and maybe Golden Time, though I can't quite remember how the romance went.

Golden Time is a fcking gold! There was a little bit of drama but overall I'd say it was quite wholesome.

Weren't they just tsundere towards each other? How is that screwed up?

Urotsukidōji, Legend of the Overfiend. It's a loving story about bringing humans and demons together through tentacles /s (seriously /s it is very much NSFW and violent)

6

That said the main couple are actually pretty wholesome. It's just everything else...

3

No mention of Komi Can't Communicate so far?

Also Aharen-san wa Hakarenai.

  • the angel next door spoils me rotten
  • the dangers of my heart
  • sakura trick
  • kase-san
  • tamako love story
  • Kimi no kiss
  • itazura na kiss
  • (Gosick)
  • (how to raise a boring girlfriend)

I don't know many but I just finished Tamako love story and my heart is full. Definitely too sweet to be real, just how I like it.

As it's a movie I don't know if it counts but your name was great.

Some series not mentioned yet.

  • Tonikaku Kawaii
  • Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (more focused on comedy but has surprisingly good and wholesome romance parts)
  • The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity (upcoming)

Lots of good answers here, but I'll add some gay to the mix as well:

  • Cherry Magic, a story about the need to know others and the vulnerability of being known with a strong emphasis on healthy communication.
  • Given (first season ONLY), a story about healing from trauma and letting out difficult emotions via art. The anime very cleanly divides the somewhat fraught manga between the actual cute and wholesome (though often sad) story of the high schoolers in season 1, and the extremely unwholesome and honestly kind of disgusting messy drama of the university-aged bandmates in the movie, so I'd suggest just watching the tv anime and pretending the story is over.
  • Sasaki & Miyano - just a cute little fluff anime. light on substance, but so sweet.

I'll also second My Dress-Up Darling* and A Sign of Affection and add My Happy Marriage, Snow White with the Red Hair, and Recovery of an MMO Junkie

*depending on how you define "wholesome". I know some people would require it to be chaste, which dress-up darling is very much not, lol. IMO, the story uses sexuality to inform and develop the characters and their relationship and does so in a very wholesome way.
