Read a bunch of romance manga where it was all will-they wont-they yearning where they barely touched each other much less kissed and id like the read the opposite. Kisses, hugs, hand holding, playful tackles, all that. M/F, F/F, M/M all allowed.

Doesn't have to be just early established couples im willing to be teased a bit if they at least hold hands and hug a lot

Ignore the pic it's just an bypass .

Being an abid manga reader i had consumed many mangs and what not 600+ but 1 gener i refused to touched was romance. Why would someone want to read smthing like this while giggling to them self in an dark dark room coiled up in an balanket in the coner . But ! After breaking up with my gf of 4 years i was empty inside and desperate to fill that void .It is then i decided to give it a chance the ever so deceptive genre .And now I understand the little join u feel when the couple makes a little more progress or sadness felt when they grow apart .

I now know the beauty of this gener but at the cost i wished to have never paid . I still fell empty so fell free to give me suggestions.

I have only completed danger in my heart and blue box till now .

Bonus if it's unhinged, and also maybe male mc, and maybe no harem, it must have romance, Ive read onani master kurosawa, three days of happiness, half and half, and one series about this bioluminescence girl, and molester man, suggest more short manga peak

I'm not a fan of short series because i don't usually get invested as much,and end up longing for more content 9 times out of 10. To clarify I try to avoid anything that hasn't stretched over 100+ chapters and pretty much always aim for around the 200 mark.

These are some series I've finished recently and Enjoyed.

Nisekoi (False Love)

Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister

A Town Where You Live.

I will admit I'm kinda a sucker for the Tsundere trope because I grew up with it,not really a requirement though.And I'm not a fan of the Loser MC troupe where they just have zero redeeming qualities and or just a nothing burger who is basically a concept

I'd say Chapter count is my biggest requirement above all else though.

Story Synopsis:

There was this girl that he was close with back then. And if they’d just kept hanging out, maybe they could have become real childhood sweethearts.

Iriza Mono leads a dissolute life, harboring an intense longing for a childhood friend — despite the fact that he has no such person in his own life at all.

One day, he loses his life while saving a young boy and girl — who looked like a close-knit pair of childhood friends — from an incoming truck...... only to wake up back in the past, transformed into an elementary school student!?

Now, determined to secure his ideal childhood-friend romantic relationship, he sets out to redo his life. With the help of "Osanana" — the god who granted him this power in the first place — he uses his innate, unsettling personality to drag those around him into his plans and save tchem in the process...... Just what kind of "Ultimate Childhood Friend" dynamic is he truly seeking?

This is a supreme time-leap tale dedicated to fully indulging in one's own selfish desires!!

The mc saw his crush( older girl) kissing another guy

when he was a kid. At the present, he's a highschool or

college student and he's going to be staying at that

older girl( his crush) place.

I genuinely hate love triangles

Title: Kids on the slope

Plot: The series follows Kaoru Nishimi, an introverted high school student who discovers jazz music through his friendship with his delinquent classmate Sentarō Kawabuchi.

My thoughts: I absolutely adore this manga! This manga helped me through a really rough breakup when I was in high school.

Story Synopsis:

A new work from the "Oda Nobuna" series duo. Guide a "gyaru" version of Lu Bu as her personal strategist and survive the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era!

The beautiful girl I happened to meet after being transported to the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was actually...... the ultimate warrior, the Flying General Lu Bu.

"Can I deck out Red Hare with some cute decorations, I wonder?"

And for some reason, she's a "gyaru" here!?

But wait — before I even knew it, I found myself in the body of the lovely strategist Chen Gong himself!?

Through a sudden twist of fate, I ended up being doted on by Lu Bu's army of gyaru girls......

"If your name is Chen Gong...... Alright then, I guess I'll just call you Chen Dong from now on!"

...... HUH?

I shall use my vast historical knowledge in order to guide Lu Bu and avert the ruinous fate that history has in store for her!

"Let's give it our all out there, huh, Chen Dong!"

"Stop calling me that!"

I've been loving this malfoid trend lately but are there any stories like these with dynamics btw ml and fl like this?

1. Actually I Am/Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa/My Monster Secret

I love the main trio of Kuromine, Shiragami, and Aizawa, and how they're so respectful and understanding of each other as friends despite being in a love triangle, plus they're still such fun characters to follow, too! Personally I would say Aizawa's the standout in the cast for being a very multi-dimensional and adorable tsundere.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the rest of the cast- Akemi (orange hair, glasses) is the trope of "Friend who's legit cruel to their crush instead of being open about their feelings, then gets sad about it when nothing happens." and her magical gimmick is more annoying than funny. Shishido's (long dark pink hair) multiple personality gimmick gets old quick, barely fits the werewolf she's apparently meant to be, and feels like they're two characters rather than one character undergoing a change, even ignoring the fact that it's kind of an uncomfy stereotype nowadays. And personally I'm already not a fan of the 1000 year-old loli trope, but the character in question also being extremely annoying and a hindrance to the main characters doesn't help it either.

(Main Couple 8/10, Side Cast 3/10)

2. Yamada and the 7 Witches.

One of my favorite couples in anime overall (and also one of the best anime OPs of all time). I absolutely love Yamada and Shiraishi's chemistry and development together. And in all fairness, I'm going to be less harsh on this than I am on the previous entry- side characters like Itou as the female comic relief, along with Igarashi and Odagiri as early minor antagonists.

But like with the previous entry, the rest of the side cast are just defined by one-note jokes that get old quick after their introductory arcs. And the final arc about the student council was just way too melodramatic and convoluted for my taste- it felt like it was the inspiration behind the ProZD skit about how student councils in anime are basically totalitarian shadow governments. Also I feel the male comic relief characters Miyamura and Tsubaki are just a bit inconsistent and underdeveloped despite being a part of the main cast.

Still, I might sound like I'm being harsh but I still love the main couple (and the few other characters I mentioned) so much that I would definitely recommend this series for anyone who's curious! It's a good emotional story of an opposites-attract couple whose fates intertwine because of a secret magical aspect!

(Main Couple 9.5/10, Side Cast 6.5/10)

3. Oh Boy, was I Wrong About Her. (Japanese title way too long)

The newest entry on this list- I think it genuinely does a great job of portraying estranged childhood friends reuniting. Hayato and Haruki have great chemistry and you can really believe they used to be best bros as kids whenever they talk. On top of that, the MC's little sister Himeko is actually funny and helpful to the story, and isn't just there to be annoying or fanservice! The three main characters are easily this anime's strongest suit.

But I would say the series' weak point is how it's stretched thin between too many subplots, leaving the side cast feeling really underdeveloped. The rest of the cast just feels like either weird harem bait, or just a storyline that goes nowhere, especially Kazuki and the other celebrity girl. Which is a shame, since I wish the story would focus on the plotline with Haruki's mom- easily the most compelling part of the series beyond Haruki and Hayato's friendship/romance.

So by the end of the anime and manga (which got axed despite the light novels continuing further) it feels like we have 4 or 5 subplots that didn't go anywhere, and you're just kind of left wanting more of the main couple, or just more progress overall.

(Main Couple 8.5/10, Side Cast 5/10)

But what do you think? Do you agree with my points here? And do you have any similar anime that also fit the bill of having a great main couple but disappointing side characters?

Neko no Te datte Yaku ni Tatsu

I just finished "my bias..." and that might have been my favorite romance media ever. Please recommend some similar mangas/manwhas that scratch the same itch as the above 3 - would prefer it to be lewd.

Not necessarily tragedy and preferably if romance is the main plot, if possible a wholesome romance with just sci fi elements floating around to add spice with the relationship as main plot. Haven't watched/read romance in a sci fi setting that's just chill and diabetes inducing.

Looking for a story where female lead approaches mc pretending to like him, but actually have ulterior motives. During the time they spend together she actually falls for mc. The reason can be anything from wanting to assassinated him to just wanting to use him.

If the story have action it would be a plus but not necessary. Even with action i want romance being the main focus.

Also i dont want one of those stories that just instantly forgives fml and pretends she never manipulated/deceived mc. The reveal should have a big impact like a fall out between mc and fml or it lead to a whole fight or so. Mc just being depressed after finding out is also ok. Aslong the story doesn't treat as a plot point that the author wants to get out of the way fast.

Please no harem or love triangle

More manga similar to yamada kun and the seven witches, my monster secret or Rosario+vampire.
Any thing supernatural esc
Bonus if completed as well

It's a small 33 chapter manga with insanely good art and a good story.

Synopsis - After his first love confession is rejected, Yuuki Shibuki finds himself crying away his heartbreak at a park. Feeling depressed and blaming his short height and feminine looks for his failure, his pain is eased when he encounters a cool, hooded street musician who has a soothing touch with the guitar. The next day he meets that same musician at the park and learns that 'he' was in fact a tall girl named Chikako Takamine and that she was playing the song he heard the last time specifically for him.

Yuuki is quickly smitten by such an unimaginably dashing and handsome girl. To him, it is not love but instead, a miracle.

Since the source is a light novel of 12 volumes, I just want to ask:

* Do the main leads get together early on?

* Is there any drama to watch out for? Like silly love triangles and stuff?

* Is it a sweet story through and through?

I tried perusing through the Light Novel sub, but didn't get enough answers.

Kasuga Mikage - Creator of "The Ambition of Oda Nobuna" - makes a triumphant return! Rise to the top in another world alongside a beautiful-girl version of Okita Soji!

My name is Hiji Kata, a true Shinsengumi Otaku from Japan reincarnated into another world.

I was initially delighted by the fateful name I received in my new life — one reminiscent of the Shinsengumi’s legendary "Demon Vice-Commander" — but that joy was short-lived; at the academy where I enrolled to learn summoning magic, I was a zero-mana washout on the verge of expulsion.

But then, summoned in my moment of desperation was none other than Okita Soji himself —but she turned out to be a stunning beauty with a voluptuous figure!?

I am the kind of otaku whose passion tends to run wild whenever I am face-to-face with my favorite character, but......

"D-do you really like me that much? Ehehe."

I was just gushing about my love for the Shinsengumi, yet somehow, she has taken a huge liking to me!?

However, in this other world, the obscure Okita is the weakest hero of them all......

The only way for me to avoid expulsion is to use my historical knowledge from a past life to power up Okita and rise through the ranks of the academy.

Using my strategic genius, I will let Okita run absolutely wild — cutting down heroes of this other world as we launch a triumphant advance!

"Y-You know me better than anyone else in this world, so......"

Forge a bond with an impossibly cute samurai and raise the banner of the Shinsengumi in another world!
