I like romance not especially because of the real life applications per se, but the existence of pairings in such a way that enlightens and lightens the spirit or soul. The reason I love Love is because I care about and for it, regardless of the form it comes in (anime, movie, or real life)
This too is a reason I try not to overanalyze romance: because it is simply a retelling of one brand of story. That of two people who have found themselves in eachother. Each time it is heartwarming and meaningful because of the reaffirmation that the thought, belief, and experience behind love actually exists in a way that the authot can capture through skillful storytelling.
The replication of synthesization does not degreade the meaning and enjoyment of the love, but rather acts as this sort of reaffirmation. However, if a romance does import some meaning upon one's own existence, it holds a special place in my heart. It does not need to though <3 ~ (Maison Ikkoku forever)
