Heya,

I just finished reading The world is still beautiful and it was just so refreshingly heartwarming and wholesome. While there were the usual situations for the author to have an excuse to still write, you never really doubt the leads relationship- they are passionate about each other but in a healthy build up eachother way. Not only that but the female lead has such a love and passion for the world around her! (Ignore some of Livi's actions when considering this request...)

It doesn't necessarily have to be romance, but just something where the lead genuinely enjoys life and the world around them. Where they try their hardest to live their life as they want to. I guess some more examples would be From maid to mother and Chihaya Furu. Or if you watch low-budget family tv, Merlin (the BBC show), Wolfbloods (Also BBC show), and Kyle XY are also good examples.

Ideally it will have an anime that covers at least part of it, but thats just in a perfect world and not required in the slightest.

Thanks.

So a slow slice of life type?
I'd recommend 3-gatsu no Lion although this is a bit more.. heavy? There's some themes about depression and bullying, but its about life and living and moving forward basically. It's got one season completed with season 2 scheduled some time this year or next, can't remember.

Maybe Love so Life for some comfy feels
And I'd say almost anything by YUMEKA Sumomo has this "wholesome" feeling to it, imo.
Add Gisèle Alain and Shirley Madison and Sumikko no Sora-san maybe, all about girls enjoying their lives basically... yeah..

Maybe I'm completely off the mark. If I am, I'll try again lol.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Love so Life definitely fits, so just based on that your other suggests probably hit the mark biggrin. I haven't read most of these so I'm excited to get started haha.

Also thank you for the Warm Ambience tag, I hadn't seen that one before!

Thanks again.

Try "Noramimi" it's heartwarming and unique. It doesn't fit in any of the standard manga genres or categories.

I would love to rec Noramimi myself (one of my favourite slice-of-life manga), but it doesn't have a female MC and there's no romance at all, so...

Binbou Shimai Monogatari is good. Female MC, but no romance.

Neko Musume Michikusa Nikki - Female MC, implied romance.

A bit more adventure than the other titles mentioned here, but the protagonist of Ran to Haiiro no Sekai is cool, fun-loving and quirky.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is of course well-known, but I figured I'd mention it. Kotonoba Drive by the same mangaka has a similar ambience.
