Manga collected in this stack have stories which focus on the struggles of maintaining, repairing, or building family bonds. These relationships should be between the main characters and must be non-romantic in nature.

Series which focus primarily on taking care of infants to pre-teen children will not be included in this stack; please use the Childcare theme to find these stories. However, if the childcare component is only one relationship of multiple in the family, then these manga will also be added here.

Manga that have frogs and/or toads in them, can be real, can be items.

Manga, particularly SOL, that are especially light on the surface but between every little gesture of the characters and the art, a certain weight is felt in the heart. Simple, good, unpretentious story-telling at its best. It is fine proof that one does not need "darkness" to make a story intensely interesting and deep.

Hand-picked selection of some of my favorite age-gap romance manga.

Note that some of them are not 100% romance-oriented (leaning more on other genres instead -action, mystery, etc), but there's enough presence of romantic development from start to finish.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.
