I used to think I didn't like romance, but I realized differently about a decade ago (mostly via Lois McMaster Bujold). Romance, like most genres (and mediums) is subject to Sturgeon's Law, but I definitely enjoy the good stuff. (I still don't tend to *seek out* romance without otjer modifiers, but that has more to do with limited time, and a super-abundance of reading matter.)
I recently stumbled across a manga named "My Love Story!!!" which I enjoyed the heck out of. Interesting, adorable characters, almost never any antagonists, the major obstacles being shyness and insecurity. I found it a great antidote to the news.
