Yo, I've been out of touch because I had a lot of stuff to do and wanted to ask if anyone stumbled across good romance manga that released within the last 2 years.

Required:

• released in the last 2 years
• romance

Pros:

• cute characters
• character progression

Cons:

• sports
• music
• love triangles, harem, reverse-harem

Excluded:

• sexual content - this includes: hentai, smut, mindless ecchi poured into the story for no reason (plot-wise)
• shoujo-ai, shounen-ai, yaoi, yuri
• extreme violence/gore
• one-shots

Thanks in advance!

thanks for the recommendations so far, those look good. Gonna skip Living no Matsunaga-san because I can't be bothered with yet another generic shoujo that has the same premise as a thousand others ><

Welcome back, Lorska! I, too, have recently returned from a hiatus and have discovered a bunch of new manga. Also, Hayate no Gotoku! just ended. Crazy times.

How about...

Hoshino, Me o Tsubutte.
Chikotan, Kowareru
Rough Sketch Senpai
Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai - Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen

Here's an oldie:
Denkigai no Honya-san

welcome back to you too :*
thanks to you and bossmama again.
I'll check those out!

Taisho Wotome Otogibanashi was really nice and thing I wanted
My Fair Neighbor just felt like an awful execution of the age gap topic...
Sasen mo Warukunai had an interesting premise but totally impersonal, unrelatable and unbelievable presentation... also /ak/ needs a readable font asap...
