lol I think we are just not understanding each other or I think you misunderstood my Miyuki comment it was more a point that every li is part of the story or plot, not mad she is around or want her taken out. You don't have to work to get them to be in a relationship (what I would think you have to do for it to be a romance) with mc or start a li path so that's why I think it does not count as a romance tag, but site mod or dev will do what they want just my opinion about the tag .
Romance is an expression of love, sexual attraction, etc.
It's not "what you do to get the girl", it's the way you feel you want to treat each other.
Buying her flowers is not romantic, by default.
If you buy her flowers because you think it will get you into her knickers, it's not romantic, at all.
If you buy her flowers because you think it will make her smile & you want her to be happy because you have feelings for her, then it's romantic.
For a successful relationship, you'd hope the romance continues.
So husband sees something cute in a shop that makes him smile & think of his wife, so he buys it for her.
That's romantic.
