I'm looking for recommendations for an age gap romance where the main couple has known each other for a long time, ever since the younger MC was a small child. Because of that, the older MC initially has difficulty seeing the younger MC as anything other than a kid. I'd like to see the process of the main couple's relationship evolving from this initial setup to a romantic relationship. Ideally, I'm looking for a manga where the younger MC is the one who makes the first move and actively pursues the older MC.

I don't mind the size of the age gap, as long as it has the above themes. So it could be anything from a older sibling's classmate with just a couple of years' age difference to a 20+ years age gap. I'd prefer it if both parties were at least high school age or older at the time of the story, though.

Feel free to recommend het, BL or GL couples! Thanks in advance!

- Meiji Hiiro Kitan
- Tsuyogari (FUJIWARA Kiyo)
- "Days Wishes Fall", another oneshot, in Sunaebo
Hope I was able to help somehow

Thank you, a few of those definitely look like what I've been looking for!
I've started checking some of them out already, "Tsuyogari" is almost a perfect match for what I wanted, such a pity it's just a one-shot. Same with "Days Wishes Fall", I liked it even with its open-ended ending. "Don't Cry, Girl" was good as well - even though it had a light-hearted comedic style, I really liked the way the girl took the initiative.

Thanks again, I'll be reading the others too!
