If you want a anime/manga, Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan or something like Yotsuba to, really relaxing. If you want vns every title from Asa Project.

For comedy manga, I simply love Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (4koma that pokes fun at shoujo manga tropes and clichés) and Grand Blue (more dumb but pokes fun at college life, no high school for once!). Not comedy, but Jojo can be quite fun too, in it's own bizarre shounen way.
For anime, I recommend Carnival Phantasm (if you enjoyed Fate/Stay Night or if you just want to see those character acting full retard) and Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (anime about pretty much nothing, just teen boys being dumb, but holy shit it's so fun).

To me, Dog Days is pure, unadulterated fun. Don't expect it to have much in the way of clever writing, but the characters do provide some substance to the anime (especially Millhiore). I've never experienced a dull moment while watching it, and there is little to no focus on drama at all. Oh and the romance between Cinque and Millhiore is adorable. :3

To read: I would recommend you check out the Kase San series; it's very sweet, cute, warm, and gentle. The art is very vibrant and detailed and a lot of the expressions are just wonderful. Plus, it's just a great romance story with a couple who are just really into each other.
To watch: I would recommend you check out
My Love Story!! It's a great anime about a intimidating looking guy with a heart of pure gold and the really sweet romance that develops.
Galaxy Angel: I'm talking about the anime specifically, it's just pure dumb fun the whole way through 4 seasons. It's really funny and it doesn't matter from what point you pick it up on because their is no story. It's my favorite anime ever and you need to watch it!
Movie wise I would recommend you check out Forgetting Sarah Marshal, I Love You Man, Music and Lyrics and Oh Brother Where Art Thou

I would recommend https://myanimelist.net/anime/36296/Hinamatsuri?q=hina which is airing this season. It is an absurd comedy with just some great wtf moments.

I second this. Carnival Phantasm had me in tears from laughing so hard.

Yuru Camp △ and Flying Witch are both superb slice-of-life anime. Entertaining and funny, but most importantly peacefully pleasant, gentle and maximum comfy.

As the man who managed to get Asonn to buy this after getting it myself, I can only echo this recommendation. Menhera shoujo is p legit.
As for more classical lit though I haven't read a lot but I liked both The Collector (read in school and not hated) and the previously suggested Crime and Punishment (as well as The Idiot by the same author, but I think I prefer the former).
For something that's not French but at least originally romance language, though... The Garden of Forking Paths, part of Borges' Ficciones, was apparently an inspiration to many IF writers - I know Alexis Kennedy at Failbetter (Fallen London) likes citing him sometimes. VNs are often branching stories, and it might provide an interesting look into the subject.

And then there was none - Agatha Christie
The Passage trilogy - Justin Cronin
I could recommend a lot of books, but just these four would be enough for at least a month or two. The problem on recommending books is that there are millions to recommend (and on my shelves, waiting for my free time), so it really depends on what picks your interest. Vns are easier since they are pretty limited when considering english translated ones.

Have you ever read anything by the Marquis de Sade?
EDIT: Thought more about old French stuff I've read. I really like Marie de France's poem "Bisclavret."

They're not classical at all but the Wind Up Bird Chronicle and IQ 84 Haruki Murakami are two really superb books. I would also suggest the Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano just because.

Not exactly classic lit, but I always like to suggest Catch-22.

灰色少女の声 -「メンヘラ少女」
This is by far my favorite book of all time.

I'll be biased for my country and recommend "The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas", because it has the greatest 4th-wall breaking of all time IMO.
