I'm sure this happens to everybody, right now my life is a bummer and with work and school I don't have much time to do anything. So when I pick up a manga hoping to take some alone time and enjoy a nice sweet Romance it ends in tragedy. It would seem everything I pick up has some Downer ending or sad premise. I've been searching through the archives here looking for something really heartwarming to read but it's kind of hard to find something I haven't already read. I don't have much time so i dont want to invest in a long story with a bad/sad ending. If youguys can recommend any good warm-hearted romance it would be appreciated. I have read more than I could possibly list But I'm sure there is some jem out there I haven't seen. Thanks in advance for the help

I know that I have read some simply sweet romances, but from those that i have recently finished I would say Gakusou and Story of Someone We Know.

Gakusou is a short josei. It wasn't exactly high school story sweet, but it was nice, nonetheless. No bad ending and in my opinon the premise isnt sad. The premise being a meeting after a death in the neighborhood.

Story of Someone We Know is a korean webcomic with like 60 chapters. Finished in a day, so not too long, either. The story is sweet in that its real. I found the ending to be really nice, because it showed growth and realization in what a relationship is.

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, Usotsuki Lily or Horimiya are the first ones that come to mind... Oh, and Bonnouji.
Unfortunately they are all fairly well known so odds are that you've already read them.

Love So Life is the purest thing you'll ever read, I saw that you have Aishiteruze Baby on your Complete list, if you liked that you'll absolutely adore this.

Also Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii - not complete, but in a light-hearted slice-of-life style that definitely won't go down any angsty routes. Plus point: infinitely relatable if you consider yourself an otaku

Kingyo Sou
This is a short fluffy shoujo. Definitely ends on a happy note.

Edit:
I just noticed that you have that under your complete list. So, maybe something by Hikawa Kyouko? I love basically everything I've read by her. If you're looking for a short read, I really like Chotto Friday by her. Her longer series are definitely good too though and definitely have happy endings. I'd say of her longer series, Miriam and its sequels are the lightest. (Though Miriam only starts its romantic portion in the sequels.)
