Looking for romance (or magical girl like sailor moon) animes to watch with my wife that aren't "odd."

No upskirts or weird non-character sexualization (if the main characters are attracted to each other it's vastly different than sexual harassment by schoolmates/teachers/the invisible camera man..)

No children (obviously, but ๐Ÿคฎ at so many titles in this genre)

Either apolitical (impossible), or at least empowering to women and not the typical Western/Japanese "your job is to be your husband's token"

Edit: Non hetero-normative animes fully welcome but I would be lying if I said she wouldn't be pissed at a lesbian anime if it's overtly and obviously written for/by men.

She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat

I absolutely adore the manga, so I hope the live action is good! I mean, it got two seasons, so that's gotta count for something. I'm actually slowly working my way through the adaptation of Even Though We're Adults right now...really feels like we're entering a golden age of yuri adaptations.

They need to update the manga more often! Or the scans at least ๐Ÿ˜…

You know, I've only ever followed the official English edition for this manga, which had the most recent volume release this January, so for me it appeared to be releasing at a regular clip. But looking into it, it seems like it's been on an extended (year+) hiatus due to the author's health.

It (first?) went on hiatus on June 23rd, 2023 after the publication of Chapter 40. It returned December 1, 2023, with the announcement saying that after twice-monthly releases of Chapters 41-47 from December 1 to February 23, it would move to a monthly schedule. It appears this schedule was adhered to, with Chapter 52 releasing June 14, 2024, but there have been no new chapter releases and no new volume since; Volume 5 was released in Japan on February 15, 2024 and contained Chapters 38-45. The most recent tweet on the official account is on February 6, 2025 apologizing for keeping people waiting retweeting while quote retweeting an earlier statement that updates would be irregular after Chapter 52.

The author also has an Instagram account (which among other things has a "ceasefire now" post from February 17, 2024 with a watermelon, hell yeah), and it's been regularly updated since May 31 of this year after not having posted anything since March 19, 2024. Hope that's a sign that she's at least recovering physically and coping with the pressure okay.

Oh dear. Shoot, hope they're doing better. Looking at the insta it's hard to tell if they're posting progress pages or just random one shots, but yeah at least they're posting.
