These manga showcase a relationship where the characters are in two different age groups, based on societal norms. While not always the case, these characters sometimes must overcome challenges or societal stigma associated with the Age Gap.

Soothing manga all about making food or commonly has them making food. (or consuming delicious looking snacks or drinks a lot)
I also add ones where they make food out of things they made or caught themselves ( for example Houkago Teibou Nisshi)
Some include recipes, so if you're hungry, go give them a try!

bl as in: published in a bl magazine or otherwise implied by the author (ergo; just because the mc is a queer guy does not mean the manga is bl)

listed with at least one bl the author wrote (either my favorite that they wrote or their most popular)

I was going to add oofuri to this list but can't find what bl the author wrote (tho I am sure that people used to say she had written bl before).

feel free to recommend any authors, just make sure you have an actual example instead of a rumor.

A great manga has the ability to drag the readers into the story and make them experience what the characters are going through. Intense battle sequences will make you hold your breath in excitement while heartbreaking scenes will make you bawl your eyes out.

But there are times when you don't want to feel such deep emotions from manga. Sometimes you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the story. In that case, a wholesome manga that can make you smile throughout the story is the one you should read, and these are some selections of manga that can do just that.

This is the work with the recipe that appeared in the manga work. Wouldn't it be fun to actually make and taste them?

Some of the main themes of the manga are comedy and hero manga.

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!

Many of these also have good anime adaptations!
All are wholesome and sweet, some will make you cry as well!
No creepy manga here (looking at you Usagi Drop…. Hell no.)
