Sometimes, just following a cute story of a single couple is not enough to satisfy your desire for sweet and wholesome romances. If you're looking for manga filled with couples, this is the place to look for!

Shoujo manga magazines typically feature stories with female leads: the character whose perspective and inner thoughts primarily narrate the story to the audience.

The manga collected in this stack are original works serialized in these same shoujo magazines, but instead feature a male leading character. Story plots can fall into any genre and vary widely, including Romance, Adventure, Horror, or Comedy.

Please note Boys Love (BL) stories and male casts with heavy BL subtext are excluded from this stack. Manga serialized in josei magazines are also excluded as there are specific publications which have a higher tendency to feature only male characters.

Ahh! I'm having a heart attack!

- Wholesome Manga's and Romances alike!!

Romance is one of the most popular genres both in anime and manga. Other media such as K-Drama, Webtoon, or Manhwas most of them featured romance stories that were mostly led by Female protagonists while in Anime and Manga there are many Romance stories led by Male protagonists. Romance with a male protagonist is usually published in Shounen and Seinen Magazines and a few in Shoujo and Josei magazines. Therefore, I'm willing to share my list of Romance Manga With Male Protagonist, so people who like Romance stories, especially Male audiences can enjoy the Manga

Semi/Realistic depictions of adolescence and high school. Life your best teen days vicariously through these characters!! ☆ ☆

These series are meant to be relatable in some way or another. If a series does not portray an average depiction of high school, then it appeals to the emotional vulnerability that captures most people at this point in life. A few of these can be a tad bit on the dramatic side (i.e. potentially unrealistic to some) but teenagers CAN be dramatic so it felt fitting!

All the shojo and josei manga that got printed in english in 2022, this is for my own reference but if it can help someone else find something new then i'll be glad <3

Just some manga that I've read and thought that made a good service in inspire me to do something better with life. Mostly shojo with a few shounen here and there. [ofc more to add in the future]

This is a collection of wholesome romances that don't give you the depressing ending of a character romantically unresolved - you know what you're getting into and what characters will pair up (no nisekoi/oregairu/school days bs). Softcore NTR FREE!!

Please let me know if I need to make any changes to the list - I read most of these manga and can vouch for their straightforward love stories. If you don't think a certain manga should be on the list feel free to send me a message.
