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

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 147 would be the Himitsu Series of books. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 116 volumes and started in 1972, and has sold 23 million (June 10th, 2018).

Hand-picked selection of some of my favorite age-gap romance manga.

Note that some of them are not 100% romance-oriented (leaning more on other genres instead -action, mystery, etc), but there's enough presence of romantic development from start to finish.

-Will update from time to time

Japan's Shōwa era lasted from 1926 to 1989. In 2009, Asahi Shimbun announced a polled list of 50 of the greatest 'masterpieces(名作)' of the Shōwa era. The only one not listed on MAL yet is 'Iga no Kagemaru' by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, which was ranked 27th.

Obviously there are too many manga set in Tokyo to list all in one stack, precedence is given to those that highlight unique Tokyo shitamachi or culture.

97. Filament - has the one shot "Misaki de Bus wo Orita Hito" which is the real N. 97.
90. A Drunken Dream and Other Stories* MaL separated this into two entries, "Hanshin" and "Iguana no Musume"
100. Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow is the actual N. 100 aka the last 6 volumes of the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga.

This list will always be in alphabetical order.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my choices and that is okay. If everyone agreed with me that would be boring.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something that I consider to have gone above and beyond my expectations and absolutely worth a try.

This stack contains all of the manga that I have completed and given a rating of 8.5 or higher. This is the top 9-11% of my completed manga list (hence the stack name). This list will rarely change, though there are currently 5 titles that may end up here when they finish, so I guess I'll list them here as "honorable mentions". Those manga are; Gabriel DropOut (8.5), Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? (8.5), Machikado Mazoku (9), Tonikaku Kawaii (9.5) and Yotsuba&! (8.5).

We've all experienced that frustrated feeling of enjoying a manga/LN, only to find out that it has a horrible, rushed, incomplete, unsatisfying ending. Here is a list of manga/LNs with endings that are so fulfilling and complete that they will leave you with nothing but a heart full of contentment and/or bittersweetness. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what shows are considered to have satisfying endings.

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

I asked ChatGPT for the top 50 best manga, here is what I got (couldnt write "top 50 manga" in title as it wouldnt let me post it public)

Continuation of the previous one.

I picked a few popular ones that well known over here and the underrated ones for this list

I could make a second part of this list. But as for now, here are the list.

Works in which the main character has suffered the loss of their spouse. No spoilers.

This is a translation of a widely-publicized poll from 2021. This is NOT my personal opinion, so how about you shut up MAL.

#10 is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure as a whole, not just Steel Ball Run

I may not finish this list but I just wanted to make it. It would be interesting to see who has read all or most of Takahashi work.

NOTE!!:
I'm not including every single series here, There are still a number of series that don't have every chapter available and thus I will not include them here. Once the unavailable chapters are added, I'll include them on this list.


For example:
as of August 23rd, 2023 Detective Conan does not have all of its chapters available, chapters 928-1099 are unavailable, so once these chapters do become available I will include Detective Conan to this list
