Manga which

[1] give off the vibe of summer, or

From one end to another. From iyashikei, cgdct, simplistic, mundane, to the adventure, change, romance, "essence of living", conflict, to the liminal, infinite, loss, destination, desperation, the end.

All the different Slices of Life you can find across the board.

A list of manga that has no or next to no sexual content (e.g. Bath scenes, partial nudity, sex jokes, ect.)

Oldish manga featuring characters that evoke the 萌え (moe) reaction as per the standards in the early-to-late 2000's, when the so-called moe phenomenon was at its peak in Japanese wota-culture. The titles I've listed here vary greatly in terms of genre, subject matter, and popularity, but they all hold the moe factor in common (in my opinion, anyways.) Some of the popular titles have resurfaced here in the Western side in recent years as part of an internet-born aesthetic known most commonly as "animecore."

*I've only listed manga here. Some of these series originate as light novels, or their light novel counterparts predate the manga (if they're based on anime or games, for example.) In the case of multiple manga adaptations, I've only included the earliest published title.

**If you're not familiar with the concept of "moe" or would like to learn more about it, I also recommend reading these great books on it:

The top 50 rated manga on MAL that are completed, have 100+ chapters, and an official English print you can buy (not out of print).

Manga of all genres filled with soothing and heartwarming stories. 𓇢𓆸 ⸙
These Manga focus on gentle moments and warm relationships, providing a peaceful escape and a sense of comfort.

Most on the list are not exactly living in the countryside but they give me a sense of calming and quite and that kinda remind me of my hometown (which is a countryside village where everyone know everyone) so that why it here.
