The romantic hentai list (as it stands):

Sites that review(ed) hentai (http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?p=6169906#post6169906) (as guide to the titles listed below).

• 2x1 (http://www.animenation.com/to-001.html); (AKA Four Play; volume 2 (http://www.animenation.com/to-002.html))
• Another Lady Innocent (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0542.html)
• Body Transfer (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0422.html)

• Campus (http://www.animenation.com/cmdvd6982.html)
• Can Can Bunny Extra (http://www.animenation.com/cmdvd6959.html) (especially the second half (http://www.animenation.com/cmdvd6963.html), which has less sex)
• Class Reunion Again (http://www.animenation.com/cra-001.html) (volume 2 (http://www.animenation.com/cra-002.html))
• Darling
• Dragon Knight: Another Knight on the Town (VHS only; out of print)
• EL (http://www.animenation.com/dvd-588.html) (though the romance gets a bit lost in the nastiness)
• Elven Bride (out of print)
• Endless Serenade (http://www.animenation.com/cmdvd6989.html)
• Fencer of Minerva
• Girl Next Door (http://www.animenation.com/cmdvd6983e.html)

• Koihime (out of print)
• One: True Stories (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0524.html)
• Parade Parade (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0222.html)
• The Pianist (http://www.animenation.com/tp-001.html)
• Sakura Diaries (etchi only)
• The Story of Little Monica (http://www.animenation.com/cmdvd6975.html)
• Stairs (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0212.html) (in Kitty Pleasure Pack #2)
• Stainless Night (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0225.html)
• Strange Love (http://www.animenation.com/usmd-2288.html) (the second episode)
• Swallowtail Inn (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0418.html) (In a "I must train you firmly" sort of way)
• Tail of Two Sisters (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0209.html) (in Kitty Pleasure Pack #1)
• Tokio Private Police (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0117.html)
• VirtuaCall (out of print)
• Welcome to Pia Carrot / Welcome to Pia Carrot 2
• Wet Summer Days (http://store.yahoo.com/animenation/kvdvd-0413.html)
• Wife Eater (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0414.html)
• Wife With Wife volume 2 (http://www.animenation.com/jpan7002.html)

Possibly

• Dragon Knight: Wheel of Time (http://www.animenation.com/ddk-003.html) (volume 2 (http://www.animenation.com/ddk-004.html))

though I have only seen the first episode.

If you like BDSM:

• Maid in Heaven (http://www.animenation.com/mih001.html) (volume 2 (http://www.animenation.com/mih002.html))
• Natural Obsessions 2 (http://www.animenation.com/nat-001.html) (possibly)
• Teacher's Pet (http://www.animenation.com/a18d-2080.html)

Note that A Heat for All Seasons (http://www.animenation.com/kvdvd-0207.html) is ostensibly a romantic story, but the male protagonist is an insensitive jerk.

And—of course—two of my favorites, both of which were commercially available in English only on VHS (from SoftCel Pictures), and both long out-of-print (but worth it!):

• End of Summer / End of Summer 2 (AKA Doukyuusei Natsu no Owari ni)
• First Loves / First Loves 2 (AKA Kakyuusei: My Petty Classmate (sic); incomplete)

Pink Pineapple's Doukyuusei / Doukyuusei 2, Dousoukai: Yesterday Once More, Kakyuusei (of which there are several, not all of which are hentai), and Tenkousei (meta-)series are/were all concerned with student (or former student) love and sex, and which generally feature "student" (生 "sei") in their titles; only the above two have been released in English.).

This list may not be definitive (though I hope to make it so with your help); what did I miss, and what needs correction?
