Shounen friends-to-lovers romances revolving around the concept of childhood friendship. In one, two neighbors pretend to be childhood friends; in the other, two childhood friends pretend to be lovers. Both series have cheerful, playful heroines and perceptive, non-dense MCs. No violent tsunderes, and better yet, no unnecessary harem!

Compelling "slow burn" romances with a strong friendship-to-lover dynamic.

These two series taught me to appreciate love quadrangle drama and the messy interplay of friendship, love, and hurt it entails. Love triangles are compelling and suspenseful with no obvious winner at the start, forcing characters to carefully sift through their feelings to reach a solution.

If you liked Kamisama Hajimemashita add

...then you might like Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii add

Fantasy shoujo romance (Soredemo is high fantasy, Kamisama is set in modern times) in which the FL is suddenly elevated to a role that puts them directly in contact with the ML (Tomoe is Nanami's familiar, Livi is Nike's husband). Over time, the FL opens the ML's darkened heart through compassion and willpower. Rival love interests desire and even capture the FL for her powers, but it's her heart that truly wins them over.

Both titles are about overcoming unrequited love. FL's first love ends in disaster, which leads them to consider ML as a love interest. Yamada (the character) is initially cold and softens over time, while Chigira (the character) is affectionate throughout.

If you liked Last Game add

...then you might like Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

Kaguya-sama's rich FL x hardworking ML compares to Last Game's rich ML x hardworking FL, though both Kaguya and Shirogane are more similar to Yanagi than Kujou. Rivals to lovers. Like Yanagi's "last game" to Kujou, the objective of Kaguya's and Shirogane's "war" is to make the other person fall in love. A tagline for one chapter of Last Game may have inspired one of Kaguya-sama's early arcs.
