Hourou Musuko, or Wandering Son, is a touching story of two people who want to become the opposite gender. In other words, this anime is all about transgenders and social justice.
The story's main character is a boy, Nitori, who wants to become a girl, but is afraid to share his cross-dressing hobby with the world because of discrimination. Likewise, his friend, Yoshino, is a girl who wants to be a boy. Their friend, Saori, supports them and who they want to become.
I absolutely love the watercolor style of this anime because, since the artwork is less dynamic, it allows you to focus more on the development rather than the art.
For this anime, I have no favourite characters and, instead, I loved the eye-opening topic about the journeys and hardships of transgenders.
Left to Right: Yoshino (female), Nitori (male), Saori (female).

Natsuyuki Rendezvous is a chase for love, naturally with an obstacle in the way.
This anime features a male protagonist who is in love with his boss, a florist. Unfortunately, it's hard to commit to a relationship when you have her husband's ghost constantly in your face.
How will this chase end?
... I dunno because the anime is still airing.
The genre is a slap-dash of supernatural (husband is a ghost, yes?), slice-of-life and romance. Of course, it leans moreover to slice-of-life and romance since a husband's ghost isn't an extreme case of supernatural.
I will update as soon as I finish the still-airing series.
