Do looks really matter? It is quite known people judge each other by appearance, and the more attractive you are, the further you get in life, apparently. Every so often, you hear someone say that they fell in love with another because "He's smart" or "She's kind" when in reality, they're just after their appearance. But what happens when you don't have any looks? These two manga are similar in the fact that the main male protagonists don't have any faces. With one being a youkai with no face, and the other being a half-ghost, with no head at all. They are quite anxious about their own appearances, but then the female protagonists come to play. They don't mind at all, and they both fall in love with their respective partners, truly for their personalities. They show us that they are indeed some people who can fall in love with you, no matter what you look like (or don't look like).

Toorigakari ni One Point Advice shiteiku Type no Yankee

Yankees and yakuza, most, if not all of them are seen as the "bad guys" in anime and manga. Fortunately, that isn't the case, as we have here two manga that tears that trope apart and brings us a new wholesome idea. These two manga are about scary looking guys that are actually pretty nice, one who previously a yakuza, but is now a househusband who can easily do any kind of chore with ease, and the other is someone who looks like a yankee, but can give you advice on any topic you need help in. From cooking to shopping, and from studying to make-up, these guys know it all, in these wholesome and pretty funny manga. Now if only I can find someone like them in my life...

Looking for some wholesome gal romance content? Look no further. For I have come to your aid. Two wholesome gal romances coming up! So why have I recommended these two together? For one, they're wholesome; two, they're about gals; and three, they're romances. Got attention yet? No????? Okay. I shall unleash my true forms.. Okay, jokes aside, these two mangas are about gals who have something they're passionate about. For Gal Gohan, it's about cooking, and for Bisque, it's about cosplaying. They both get help from their love interests, who specialize in what they like, and they both learn different things about the skills involved in their interests. Along the way, their relationships deepen, and love starts to flow in the air... Honestly, I 100% ship both the main duos in both mangas.

Are you any of you guys hungry? You looking for something to eat? Unfortunately, I don't have any food for you, BUT I do have some manga that can make you even hungrier! Sorry not sorry. Anyway, what I found to be common in both these mangas is that they focus on someone wants to cook for someone else. In Gal Gohan it's about a student learning how to cook food with her teacher, and in Yakumo-san, it's about a housewife who likes to feed the student next door after his club activities. Both are very wholesome, but Gal focuses more on romance, while Yakumo-san is just about the two neighbours' daily lives, which involves cooking. Either, the food in both of these look REALLY good. Their juiciness... their yumminess... I'm kinda hungry now...

Giniro no Genders

There are only a few manga that I've read that focused on LGBT+ community, and even fewer of those manga were able to show it rightly. These two manga are examples of these correct representations. Shimanami Tasogare explores a young boy and his sexuality and how he meets other people with their own sexualities. Giniro no Genders is similar to that as well, and focuses on who the people are and what they identify as. The story of Genders isn't as good as Shimanami, but it was able to explain the concepts of the LGBT+ correctly.

Love. There are many different types of love, and there are many ways you can show it. Through your actions, words, feelings. While there may be many types of positive love, there are negative types as well. These two music videos show two types of negative types of love, or toxic relationships, to be blunt. One having a cheating playboy, and the other having an obsessive psychopath (READ: yandere). Both of these songs are made by DECO*27 and sung by Hatsune Miku, so if you like them, you should give these two songs a listen.

These two gems are one-pagers that can put a smile on your face. They're both funny and wholesome, and they generally revolve around the lives of the MCs. Fushigi doesn't have a story, but it's about a cat that's extremely talented, while Tomo has a romance story in it.

Fukakai na Boku no Subete wo

They both involve a couple, both who are guys, with one dressing up as a girl. While the relationships of both stories are cute and wholesome, they also delve into gender and sexuality, more so in Fukakai than in Otoko. The crossdresser in Otoko considers himself as a guy while the one in Fukakai considered themselves as non-binary, so you can see that it delves into those topics.

These two short anime are actually commercials that promote their products. Usually that shouldn't catch anyone's attention, but they both are quite energetic and eye-catching. Both commercials involve two characters that interact one way or another, and they are quite interesting. One of them is for education, while the other is for food/chocolate. While they might be totally different, they both succeed in capturing and captivating their target audiences.

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun Comic

These two manga are about the main protagonists expanding their limited world views and social interactions with the help of a girl classmate who uses the protagonists' strong points. In Jikkyou, he uses his emcee-like voice, while in Jaku-Chara, he gets help with ideas relating to the games he plays. Jikkyou abruptly ended though, so it doesn't have the best ending. Jaku-Chara originates from a light novel so you may want to read that after the few chapters the manga currently has.

This may seem like a strange recommendation, but I thought that they both have similar elements when it talks about love. If you've read both of them, you'd probably know what I'm talking about. While Koisuru has animals as its main characters, it really talks about who you can love and that it's ok to feel that way, which is also a major theme in Ao no Flag. They kinda go in-depth with these kind of topics, especially in Ao no Flag.

These two are slightly different from your usual detective mystery stories, as one detective suffers from memory loss, and the other detective is basically considered a queen to spirits in a supernatural genre world. They have interesting ways to approach and solve their cases, given their elements, and they are both fun to read. They also are manga that come from novel adaptations, so if you wouldn't like the manga, then maybe give the novels a try.

These two manga involve the main protagonist, who is a teacher, being in a harem with (mostly) his students. In Omaera Zenin Mendokusai!, it feels more like a generic harem, with him having to turn them down a lot, while in Gal Gohan, it feels like it has more impact, and the feelings and the scenarios of the girls he is with feel more genuine than other harems.

In terms of comedy, these shows are pretty similar. They involve an abnormal hero from another world, the hilarious goddess that summoned them, and two party members that follow them around, though the Konosuba party members are more hilarious than the Shinchou ones. If you want to have a good laugh and love the Isekai trope, then both of these anime are for you.

There aren't many manga about acting, but these two can fill the void to what's not there. Kasane and Act-age both involve female protagonists that rise up from the bottom with their outstanding acting skills, and they both are rather dramatic. Kasane has a darker story, with a bit of supernatural in it, and the protagonist acts from her heart, while Act-age is more realistic, about a girl who acts based on her previous experiences in life. Both of them show how the protagonists grow as actors and they show how it is to act in different settings, like in TV, plays, etc.

Nichijou and Asobi Asobase both have that intense and unexpected kind of humour that really brings the laughter out of you. Nichijou has more random scenarios for both the main cast and its supporting characters, while Asobi Asobase focuses more on the games the main cast plays, but the humour hits you harder than it would in Nichijou. Either way, both of these anime are extremely hilarious, and I recommend that you watch these if you'd want to have a good laugh.
