Slice of Life stories starring adult male protagonists

Some titles for learning Japanese, which will be interesting for adults.

All of these are quality works with well written characters, interesting stories and nice art.
Some have anime versions.

I am familiar with them enough to think they are captivating enough to read despite difficulties, and to read multiple times.

From easiest to hardest, based on vocabulary, genre and furigana option.

Links are for official online reading, free first chapter(s) to check for yourself, if the level works for you.

Manga featuring protagonists between the ages of 30 and 40.

List of manga with drama cd/voice manga/pv with characters voiced by Nakamura Yuuichi

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga that have received physical releases from Kodansha, even if some of them are Out of Print.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56770

Notably, I am NOT including any titles which have been physically released by Seven Seas or Yen Press in this list as Kodansha was not the one to give them a physical release.

I will include any titles which were previously published by another publisher that Kodansha has re-released.

I will also NOT include any titles released under Vertical Inc comics, which is under Kodansha. I have separate lists for Yen Press, Seven Seas and Vertical Inc Shojo and Josei releases. (For manga physically released under Vertical, see this list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56497)

I tried to compile an extensive list of the English Licensed Shojo and Josei manga titles where romance is a sub-plot at best, if present at all (many of these don't have any romance present).

I'm defining "modern" Shojo and Josei manga to mean anything that began being published in 2013 or later. Obviously personal taste plays a role in whether you'll like something. I'm also trying to focus on Shojo and Josei manga licensed in English officially, so some excellent stories will sadly be missing from this list (they should probably get their own at some point).
