The generation of shounen manga that came after Naruto and Bleach

My collection of fluffy-sugary-sweet-wholesome-cute-whateveryoucallit manga and novels that made me incredibly happy when I read them.
Also some stories have alternate versions, but I'm just putting here the version I read.

I'll only add stories when I finish them or reach the end of their English translations.
I'll happily take suggestions on what to read/add, so message me if you want!

Descriptions:
1) Brief and barebones synopsis... maybe...
2) How sweet of a story I think it is out of 10 (this isn't my personal score!).

No magic, no impossible feats, no fantasy or isekai, only gritty or light-hearted realism.
There might be a little bit of plot armor but nothing that is drastically outside the boundaries from what normally happens in life.

If they've got a setting in the past, reality will obviously differ from nowadays', often in the sense of lack of order, violence and/or other moral standards.

The two most frequent subgroups here are:
1) People performing their jobs or passions, be it as doctor, firefighter, someone of the rescue force, a musician, sports player or something else.
2) People who suffer under violence and unlucky circumstances, trying to hold on to life when it tries so hard to tear them down.

(I'm not that far into BG and BP yet so if those change later on, I'd remove them)


!! About 4-punkan no Marigold: This manga has a MC that can see the last moments of a person's life. He cannot change anything about it though, no matter how much he tries. This means it is as if everything goes on normally with the exception that the MC knows what will happen. Added this because the story feels tangibly real, with lots of sorrow, powerlessness and loss.
So yes strictly it shouldn't be in here but this is an exception that is justifiable imo.

Main character and/or others have trouble with speaking or conversing.
This could be due to shyness, but also due to a problem with their voices or vocal cords, or another reason why communication is more difficult.

Here is a compilation of absurd mangas to read when you want to turn off every neuron you have

Gathering Jump+ series that are finished, fully translated into English, and are not on either the Manga Plus or Shonen Jump apps.

[Note: List is still incomplete]

mostly lighthearted romance/romance subtext

If you spend a decent amount of time in the animanga community, you've probably heard most of these in passing. These are the popular manga that ended in 2023.

The qualifications for getting in is by being in the 15-20k+ range for overall stats, disqualifying oneshots. I might also add some sequels or spinoffs for popular series(like my 2024 list), though that's up in the air.

Speaking of the 2024 list, from simple observation, there are more entries this time compared to 2024. However, as the years go by, the stats will go up, and there's probably going to be more manga racked up for the 2024 list.

Any corrections or suggestions to any of my lists are more than welcome!
