The Shogakukan Manga Award (小学館漫画賞, Shōgakukan Mangashō) is one of Japan's major manga awards, sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga since 1955 and features candidates from a number of publishers. Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$9,000). Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.

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.

Collection of romance between the distinctly younger and older <3

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.

Want to get your monthly dose of toxic relationships? We got everything from hyper obsessive parents to extremely melodramatic couples! This is a relationship guide for everything you 100% SHOULD NOT do in real life.

** The toxicity is one of the focal points of the manga. I have marked why they are toxic. Everything listed appears in the first few chapters. Some manga may have more toxic elements than what is posted, however it'll appear later in the manga and I don't want to spoil!

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!

Wholesome mangas where the premise operates in tandem around some the problems that come with being or wanting to be in an age gap relationship.

manga serialized in seinen magazines by female mangaka, as well as non-binary mangaka.

sussy age gaps between high schoolers and working adults. varying levels of sussiness, in terms of both the actual relationship between the two characters & how others within the story react to their relationship. listed in order of how sussy i personally find them to be, with both some at the bottom since i can't remember how sussy they are and some which are not high school. if this interest stack ever fills up to the max of 50 those will be the first to go to make room for more sussiness
