First on our list is one of the most popular shoujo donghua from this list and that is Cupid’s Chocolates or also known as Aishen Qiaokeli-ing. This is one of the earliest works from G.CMAY Animation & Film, the studio that gave us The King’s Avatar Season 1. Cupid’s Chocolates touches some generic rom-com cliche and genres such as ecchi and harem aside from the hilarious romance and comedy that we can expect from it.
