Surely, if you consider that romance anime until then was more like “Lady Oscar”; and the only other modern alternatives were Maison Ikkoku, Urusei Yatsura and Adachi’s Touch and Miyuki. All later romance anime/manga use the same story events as in those or KOR. Large series like Ranma or Salad Days that have similar amount of (similar) stories came later, too.
