If you've had enough life and love experience to have a decent understanding of how things actually work (and how they don't), you realize that the way manga and anime typically portray romance is lacking, to say the least. And also generally horrible, if I'm being honest. But some are clearly written by people who know what's up—and you should check them out.

This is a list of printed works featuring characters who:
* exhibit authentic romantic chemistry with each other;
* have charisma and/or sex appeal and aren't afraid to use it;
* are able to hold mutually engaging conversations on different subjects;
* have three-dimensional personalities that are interesting and relatable outside the context of their relationships;
* go above and beyond the stale tropes in their relationship;
* otherwise behave like people tend to in non-imaginary relationships.

Includes well-written same-sex/LGBTI romance that complies with the principles above.

Includes stories that explore toxic/unhealthy relationships and relationships that don't end well but are still true to the real-world experience.

Includes stories that aren't completely focused on romance but have it as one of the core elements of the storytelling and character progression.

More entries will be added in the future. Existing entries are subject to revision.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here but I will consider all suggestions.

This list is printed-works-only because many of these don't have an anime equivalent and I don't want to multiply effort. Entries that have anime adaptations may be experienced better as such (I have noted it in the descriptions where applicable).

Honorable anime-only and anime-original mentions: Mind Game, Furiko, Steins;Gate.

So just so we're on the same page, I only add stuff here I actually read and enjoyed, otherwise the list would be muuuuch longer)

My lowest score is around 6, most highest rated are in my top-10.
Hope you enjoy the list.

shit goes down...

The list is in order of MAL score

This list contains the mangas I consider excellent in one or the other way

the other side of humanity

New manga challenge: A manga from every year of the 21st century that was entirely published within that one year (listed in order 2000-2022). So lots of short stories that cover pretty much every genre, so have fun and find some new reads!
DISCLAIMER: We have not read any of these so really have no idea the content of the manga beyond the MAL description but we did go for quite a few purposefully bizarre ones.

I only count the editorials that stills publishing to this day: IVREA, Panini Manga, Ovnipress, Kemuri, Utopia, Distrito Manga and Pop Fiction.

Part 2 of a list of animated adaptations, of which if they were given, they would possibly shake up social networks for some other reason.

These mangas can range from emotional roller coasters to psychological thrillers with deep meanings reflecting back on society. Each of the different genres make me feel some type of way so if you're looking for something to read that is worth your time and not a boring manga then hopefully you randomly pick a manga from this compiled list and you have a great time!

Works in which the main protagonist has been in previous romantic relationships prior to getting together with their main love interest, or is established to have been in a romantic relationship prior to the events of the story.

Whether the content is good or bad, it doesn't matter. The covers are just pretty to look at.

Nice. Short, completed manga, less than 69 chapters long. For when you don't want to commit to an ongoing or 2 million chapter long piece.
