There are a few upcoming romance animes based upon light novels.
I am looking forward to these:
Secrets of the Silent Witch (Light Novel), Vol. 1 by Matsuri IsoraSora Hoonoki
Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter: Volume 1 by Riku Nanano
Betrothed to My Sister's Ex (Light Novel) Vol. 1 by Tobirano (still checking too see if the Eng translation is available - update: Eng trans avail Jan 2026…)

In addition, one that I am really looking forward to seeing is May I Ask for One Final Thing?:Saigo Ni Hitotsudake Onegaishitemo Yoroshiideshouka? Vol.1 by Sora Hoonoki. Unfortunately the LNs have not be translated yet but there is a translated manga series derived from the source LNs. I think the web/light novel may be found on fantrans sites. I hope that the anime is successfully entertaining to get the LNs officially translated. The manga version is available on the web site Alpha Polis and it is a subscription site. You can read the first 3 chapters of vol 1 for free though to see if you might like the story.

I have read volume 1 of the LN Secrets of the Silent Witch and quite enjoyed it. It was originally published as a 16 chapter web novel and Vol 1 of the LN was developed from the first three chapters.

Read the first 4 volumes of The Silent Witch. They were quite enjoyable.
Volumes 4.5 (a side story) and 5 have been published in English. Volume 6 in Eng is scheduled for later in May 2025.
4 stars for the series. Looking forward to the anime version which starts July 5, 2025

The LNs would also count for #ReadingThe Meow2025
