I would like it to be either or include some of the following: - Parental Abandonment Or - Where you can see very clear favouritism with another sibling. e.g. "Where an older sibling is just so brillent, no matter what you do, you wouldn't be able to catch up." Or "your partents never praise you, or pay as much attention to you." Something with those kind of feelings. - Even if its something like "feeling like a stranger in your own home." - Theres gota be some romance, even if its subtle, or slow-paced. - If the main character, male or female, can be strong willed, that would be great. - Nice artwork is always a bonus. - The problems at home dont have to be the centre of the manga either, as long as its there in the background. - It is preferable if it has at least 20 chapters out, or completed. (Unless its new?) I read Taiyou no Ie, and loved how she kept trying to deal with it, never really wanting to lean on anyone, or complain too much. Another obvious one would probably be Fruits Basket. I like the whole light atmosphere, with the dark undertones. As always, No oneshots, yuri, yoai or ecchi. So if anyone can recomend anything like that, I know i'm being a bit picky.. But you would be a great help, Thanking You!! =) ________________ ~Be Bold, and Mighty Forces Will Come to Your Aid~ "I loved you so I drew these tides of men into my hands, and wrote my will across the sky in stars" - T.

Life sure ain't easy for him, but he is strong willed (at least that's how he looked at the beginning of the series). Then the harem pops up, but there isn't any ecchi, so it's not all that bad. In fact it's a pretty good manga.

Its an interesting romance manga. P.S.-There are many forum threads where similar manga reccomandations were made. Try it.....

The MC prefers to be alone because Spoiler (mouse over to view) his mother died and he has a horrible crazy stepmother while he can't get along with his father. Also in Crepuscule (Yamchi) the guy is bullied by the kids because he's different (he has red eyes). Rejected by his own parents too, with the help of a new friend he gets into another world; however, there are still many doubts about his origins. Last edited by StephKuran at 7:04 pm, Jul 17

Since it is Shimura Takako, theres also some gender identity themes in play. Its about a young girl and boy who one day end up finding themselves stuck in a world very similar to their own, but without their parents in it.

Papillon - Hana to Chou Oyayubi kara Romance These are not complete and not 20+ released chapters, but mostly fit otherwise. ...Seishunchuu!

Tsundere... Member 10:27 pm, Jul 17 2012 Posts: 374	Let's see, spontanously a possbile match could be ... ^^ * C-Blossom - Case 729 Spoiler (mouse over to view) The female main character ends up all alone, because her father gets charged for embezzling funds and her mother is gone, so that she has no one to trust around her. * Chihayafuru Spoiler (mouse over to view) Especially in the beginning the main character's sister gets most of the parental attention, while the main character's "smaller successes" are nearly getting ignored, which is for a kid quite painful. Also, one of the male counterparts sometimes suffers because of the pressure his ambitious mother puts on him. * Bitou Lollipop Spoiler (mouse over to view) Well, the parents of the main character won actually a lottery. Because of this, they make the decision to pursue their lifelong dreams and leave her by some friends, but those family also has their own problems, even if they try to maintain a "happy" front. * Teen Spirit Spoiler (mouse over to view) One of the characters is left by his father, which was a quite talented musician, but couldn't adjust to be a good parent - or just make a living without music? It's been a while since I was reading this one, but the situation was also rather serious and in my eyes quite well executed. And, last but not least ... * Coelacanth Spoiler (mouse over to view) A really tragic situation of abuse is part of the storyline. ________________ "It's like love is a bonus in your life.

If you never give up, there will always be another chance." (Yume Miru Taiyou)

Member 8:10 pm, Jul 18 2012 Posts: 55	Ok so I've already read/reading Girls of the Wild's, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Chihayafuru, Skip Beat, Orange Marmalade and Bitou Lollipop I just read C-Blossom - Case 729. Loved the story, hated the ending.. Ugh, this is why i dont read onshots, it always makes me feel like i'm still waiting for more.. But thats just me. Coelacanth and Knite look particularly good. Tokyo Crazy Paradise has been in my wish list for i dont know how long, Thank you for reminding me its there! All of the other suggestions look really good, thank you so much!! =) More suggestions are always welcome! =) ________________ ~Be Bold, and Mighty Forces Will Come to Your Aid~ "I loved you so I drew these tides of men into my hands, and wrote my will across the sky in stars" - T.

Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan: EXCELLENT manga where the main female character deals with a mother who is cruelly unsympathetic to the horror she experienced. alternatively, there is a parental abandonment tag that you could search. http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=parental%2Babandonment& filter=no_oneshots&perpage=50 ________________ ;D
