(/Magic Girl/) These are titles which feature young girls who are given magical powers by a powerful entity or come from a realm where magic is the norm.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon is a classic example of the genre and
Ultra Maniac TV is a modern version of the genre.
Self-explanatory. In addition to having a romance, there should be humor too, often directly tied to the romance story.
Love Hina,
Aa! Megami-sama! OVA,
Chobits, and TONS more titles all fall under this genre.

Nina Sakura is a girl from a realm known as the Magic Kingdom. Here, magic is the norm, but sadly, Nina isn't very good with magic. So her grandfather arranges for her to come to Earth (and specifically Japan) to study and to try to improve her magic skills. Here she befriends the very popular Ayu Tatesishi whom she soon reveals her secret identity to, that of a magic girl. Together with fellow (male) friends and classmates Kaji-kun and Tsujia-kun, this foursome embarks on a year of adventure, fun, study, and even romance at their middle school. All the while, Nina must contend with fellow magic girl Maya on a quest to collect the five magical 'Holy Stones'.
