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.

These are manga that are super wholesome and sweet!

The primary focus of these tend to be romance, family or other relationships. There may be a subplot, or an occasional serious scene here and there, but the vast majority of the manga is wholesome and adorable!

Most scored manga with no anime adaptation or announced

Motivation.

Manga written to make you think, reconsider, or feel a strong sense of pondering.
Typically the characters are also questioning things and have long conversations about many topics.

"Often considered to be untranslatable, mono no aware refers to the bittersweet realization of the ephemeral nature of all things. It is the awareness that everything in existence is temporary. The fleetingness of youth, the fading of romance, and the changing of seasons are not to be mourned, but cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where their beauty comes from." (Theculturetrip.com)

Slice-of-life Mangas that completely turned about my philosophies and induced me to appreciating the wonders of the little things in life.

Slice of Life stories starring adult male protagonists

Ephemerality is the quality of existing only briefly.

Mono no aware (物の哀れ),[a] lit. 'the pathos of things', and also translated as 'an empathy toward things', or 'a sensitivity to ephemera', is a Japanese idiom for the awareness of impermanence (無常, mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

"This too shall pass" (Persian: این نیز بگذرد) is a Persian adage translated and used in several languages. It reflects on the temporary nature, or ephemerality, of the human condition — that neither the bad, nor good, moments in life ever indefinitely last. The general sentiment is often expressed in wisdom literature throughout history and across cultures, but the specific phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets.
