You would think being able to read your s/o's mind would make romance easier. However, this is rarely the case...

Manga that feature characters that can communicate messages non verbally. Either by sending, receiving or both.

This can include: telepaths, mind readers, thought projection, empathy, emotion sensing, and any other form of mind to mind connection.

Some may need to touch another person, or object, others are highly sensitive and can reach for miles to connect to their receiver or sender.

Please let me know via PM if there are any I missed. Thank you!

its moe gap manga! manga on this list all have one lead considered to be scary due to their looks (when in actuality, they're very sweet or well-intentioned), and with another lead either idolised, respected, or considered noticeably attractive by their peers. its one of my FAVOURITE tropes, so im collecting them like treasures :)

to qualify, characters do not need to fulfil all of the above requirements: a character can be respected OR idolised OR both and still qualify. equally, the scary character can also act truthfully scary at times and still qualify, if in these situations it is a misunderstanding, they're protecting someone, or a fight they are getting into is with moral motivations.

(updating!!)

manga/manhwa that feature office-based romances! this is a pretty open list, so fantasy elements are welcome, but the characters must be working in some sort of professional capacity, work together or within the same company, and must be seen to be doing work often. if the characters met while working from home, this may be accepted (home office), but work unrelated to a central office environment will not be considered (delivery drivers, superheroes, etc). if the couple met in the context of office work, but later chapters explore their lives outside of this, this may be accepted.

isn't it funny how almost all of them have covers where the love interests stand side by side?

He cares so much about Rika that he can't stop acting in mysterious ways that barely cross the line...! Yandere office love!'

mind readers! every title on this stack has a primary character that can perform a version of mind reading/telepathy, either through physical contact or by being within the radius of another person. emotion-sensing, hearing of an 'inner voice', ability to tell if someone is lying, or any other miscellaneous readings or revealing of another person's self will also be accepted.
