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!).

This is the Manga collection of all worthy to read Romantic comedy manga I had hunted. Many of the manga included in the entries focuses in school themed romance and some of with drama or fantasy and ecchi. I also have collection for anime which has 2 parts that has more than 70 romcom anime entries, you can check it in my account "interest stacks". All hail the romcom god!

A list of rom-com and pure romance mangas to give you your daily dose of insulin.

don't expect (all) of them to blow your mind, make you rethink your whole life, or anything like that; some may just make you go "oh, i haven't thought about it that way before!" it's just as simple as that.

also, not necessarily every chapter of each manga was something to meditate on. so don't expect about that either.

also!! "thought-provoking" does not necessarily equal "philosophy".

also, (ah, i'm getting tired of this word), all of those manga have under 15k members, hence why i call them "hidden gems"

manga exploring issues or topics that aren't discussed often enough.

'taboo' topics = actual taboo topics + subjects that aren't really talked about

Characters who are overweight, are seen as fat, or are very plump.
