romance manga with a polar opposite couple
(Serious/Stoic/Calm/Cool/Introvert guy x Cheerful/Talkative/Cutesy/Gal/Gyaru girl)

Reads I found moving - well developed characters experiencing imperfection / growth / emotional baggage / overcoming challenges


Not yet on MAL - Yamatoha koi no Mahoroba

Manga focusing on adult characters in their twenties, thirties etc who are working in the workplace or maybe unemployed.
Slice of Life, Drama or Romance. Some are like "adult coming-of-age".

- most but not all of these are shoujo and in highschool
- some are a little longer but I still recomend them :)
- some I liked more than others
- some of my favs

This is my list of the best mangas i've read considering the story, art and caracteres. Most of the mangas are about romance, but there is some short of other topics.

Slice of Life stories starring adult male protagonists

Manga featuring protagonists between the ages of 30 and 40.

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
koganeiro (Takuma Yokota)

I'm just a guy

The oversaturation of highschool romance in manga & anime calls for a palate cleanser in the form of romance between adults.

Age gap is okay as long as both love interests are adults and out of highschool.
