Hello everyone. For a long time i’ve been reading only manga with a dark and serious atmosphere like Dorohedoro, Ajin or Ganzt. Somehow I need a break to see some light. So i hope you guys can give me some good romance manga recommendations.
I would appreciate any recommendations but I would prefer one where the characters feel real, no the imaginary or stereotypical prefect “woman or man”.
Thanks in advance.
I was thinking of how I found some of the ones I’ve really enjoyed recently. Mangadex has a decent filter system that can have inclusion and exclusion criteria, like must have ninjas but can’t have lolis.
And the most important criteria of all: only showing ones that are completed. Some of us aren’t made to read things as they trickle out only to have them suddenly cancelled (looking at you, Dress up Darling).
I just use it to describe what I’m looking for and then sort the results by rating. That’s how I came across Alice-san Chi no Iroribata (others have mentioned it) and Ao no hana.
For ones not mentioned elsewhere:
Sono Koi wa Ichigo no Youni - Strawberries and farming and romance.
Insomniacs after school - I usually can’t stand a school setting, but really enjoyed this. Astronomy themed.
Unless the last chapter is an absolute banger, I can’t imagine a bigger fumble of a manga than this. I’m guessing the author either has health issues or is simply burnt out, because the plot is nowhere close to wrapping up. There’s multiple ongoing plot threads, including big ones that were just introduced 2 or 3 chapters ago. I’m hoping it’s just an excuse for her to take a break and come back with a sequel, but I don’t know how common that is.
