Collection of romance between the distinctly younger and older <3
*May include some smut or boys love

Mostly consists of romance between parties living under one roof.

These manga showcase a relationship where the characters are in two different age groups, based on societal norms. While not always the case, these characters sometimes must overcome challenges or societal stigma associated with the Age Gap.

romance manga in which the male lead is a Yakuza or if the female lead is relative of a Yakuza boss

Yandere & yandere-adjacent/obsessive MLs!

Otome Isekais & OI manhwa are sorted closer to the bottom + CW for any mature or smut reads.

Not yet on MAL:
+ Hotaru no Yomeiri (recent release)
+ Akuyaku Reijou wa Ouji no Honsou (Dekiai) wo Shiranai

sussy age gaps between high schoolers and working adults. varying levels of sussiness, in terms of both the actual relationship between the two characters & how others within the story react to their relationship. listed in order of how sussy i personally find them to be, with both some at the bottom since i can't remember how sussy they are and some which are not high school. if this interest stack ever fills up to the max of 50 those will be the first to go to make room for more sussiness

Romance shoujo manga with beautiful art, good plot and cute moments!

You've seen the stacks about good shoujo manga. But what about the bad ones? What about the ones that are regarded as terrible within the shoujo community. What are the ones that are generally regarded as trashy and terrible?

If you want to read bad shoujo this stack is for you. The level of trashiness varies from what the shoujo community considers regular bad to some of the worst manga you will have the displeasure of reading. I also included a few infamous josei as well.

Note: Older Male includes Sensei(s), Onii-chan(s)...etc.

Oh! And Senpai(s) too.

A guide for anyone looking to explore more modern shoujo and not knowing where to start and optimized for variety.

This stack includes shoujo that began in 2010-2019 categorized by genre in order to cover a multitude of subjects and feature diverse stories. I tried to feature many popular and influential series that might be useful for exploring the demographic, with a few lesser known ones to add to the genre diversity.

The genres are sorted as follows:

High School Romance
Fantasy and Supernatural
Queer Series
Historical
Romcoms and Comedy
Trashy Series of Ill Repute
Isekai
Heavy Drama and Darker Themes
Episodic Slice of Life and Career Oriented stories

hot shoujo boys are my therapists 🤌

Wife Husbandry is different than just an age-gap romance, and it’s usually not considered incest, either.
The Wife Husbandry trope involves an older, handsome, protective male lead who is not blood related to the FL. He swoops in to start raising the FL, often becoming a legal guardian.
The female lead generally falls in love first. She desperately wants to be viewed as a woman and treated like an adult by the ML. She has zero familial support (either she's an orphan, her parents abandoned her, etc.). and is typically in high school.
