here we have some recommendations for manga they can be wholesome or not, funny or not, but they are a gem!

Manga I consider underrated and amazing!

[Updated regularly as I uncover more gems!]

Slice-of-life backed up with pleasing art and decent plot.

mangas with an inclusive portrayal of love that seems realistic and won't make you cringe

(some contain mature topics, BL, GL)

manga where the main love interest or protagonist wears a mask or otherwise has a hidden or undiscoverable face (stack ordered by face covering type)!

to qualify, the character must remain faceless to characters other than the love interest for most if not all of the story. the character may reveal their face to their love interest exclusively or may be a noppera-bō/invisible, as in this case there's no face to discover, or may have a partial face reveal to others, provided it is not their whole face. however, if the character happens to wear a mask but reveals their face/identity to many others outside of the love interest frequently, this will not be counted. titles will be still be considered if the story is mid-publishing/slow burn, and the masked character has not made progress with their love interest.

(updating!!)

not on MAL:
Yukkuri Aruite Jyuugofun by Tsurimaki Nodoka & aioiuo
'This is a story about two middle school boys of the same age, Tetsu and Yuki, who went to an autumn festival. On the way to the festival at a nearby shrine, Tetsu, wearing a mask for some reason, is in a sulky mood. An extraordinary autumn night that closes the distance between two friends'

A Social Distance Rom-Com with Intense Intimate Contact After X Days by Inaba Shiro
'Just when they're finally going out, they cannot even touch one another until the intimate contact ban is lifted! This is a social distance rom-com about a girl who's suppressing her desire to be all over her boyfriend!!'

The Princess and the Masked Knight by Kobayashi Kina
'The story of two childhood friends: a princess and her masked knight.'

there's a ton of shonen/seinen mangas which main topic is romance but somehow not all of them are... good

Manga where the/a main character is always covered in bandage and/or medical eye-patch etc. I don't include bandaged characters who wear them for practicability like chest binder or martial artists/fighters. They have to cover something (bruises, scars, burns, supernatural abilities, heterochromia, etc) or just pretend to (chuunibyou or unknown reasons).

Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.
