The name implies what this is about. you all know the What's New! section and this here should be similar.
Name your (new) manga! Explain why it is good! That's it!
Just mind the following things while adding new stuff:
- [color=darkred]romance should be the or one main point[/color], that means no hentai or fan service kinds
- It has to be [color=darkred]NEW[/color], that means only a few chapters and updated within the last month/s
- please provide [color=darkred]information/impressions[/color]
- shoujo, shounen, josei, seinen or webcomic [color=darkred]ONLY[/color]
- this is not a scanlator discussion, [color=darkred]no advertisement or rants[/color]
- [color=darkred]no links[/color] to lists, groups etc. unless all items satisfy everything above
- [color=darkred]no spoilers![/color]
So just share what you find here. I will (and hope you will too) share any new things I come across and try to keep this as organized as possible. You are of course free to comment on already mentioned series, but keep it professional, everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
You may also share information about things being on hiatus/dropped and of course are encouraged to discuss anything related here.

Between Smooth and Rough - Seinen
A cute little series so far (1 chapter), about a boy who has to work with reptiles and a girl who mistakenly thinks he enjoys it. The art style is simple but enough to enjoy it. Both have no idea how dating works so I expect some nice little moments. Especially with the reptiles 🙂
Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari - Seinen
It will take about 5 seconds to see that this is from the [tasogare x amnesia] author, and picking a more suited fantasy setting, a bit more violence and darkness, less ecchi, and a protagonists that looks way better I don't have anything bad to say about it or any concerns. Not much is known (after 2 chapters) about the world, so I'm eagerly awaiting more.
Shishunki Bitter Change - Shoujo
Boy and girl changed bodies, one with a loving family, one with a breaking family. Not much happened so far, but what happened was sweet and funny. Simplistic would describe this really well.
Soshite, Hare ni Naru - Josei
It shows a a teenage girl turning into a mother, making mistakes, living with these mistakes, still looking for happiness. This is deeper, shows how life plays out, that it's not always fair while this is not the pretty side of life, neither is it the bad, but just how life is, in between those two.
Looking for a Father - Seinen
Is there romance? Not much so far, it is possible though as he isn't your typical father figure, and they are more like a bickering couple. Funny moments guaranteed. A very light meal so far.
Coulomb Fille - Shounen
If you can stand weird things, this is really good. both characters are unique, I don't think we'll ever know the reason of their "circumstances" but who cares. A nice setting so far, though the possible love triangle and tragedy tag make me feel uneasy...

Yay! A thread to point out new romance manga. Hopefully, now, I won't have to go through every single new release anymore only to find a possibly tiny romantic subplot.
Do you intend to incorporate the suggestions from your recent romances thread or shall we just make another post with our current findings?

Quote from Lorska
Quote from -shiratori-
Pretty much everything my group has released in the last year I guess.
ok that was extremely vague and advertising... neither of that was my intention. I'll edit the main post.
How was it vague? You'll find newly scanlated romance manga if you click on the link. Wasn't listing them the point of this thread?

sorry but you have to admit this was just advertisement on your part.
There was no further information about the series, "pretty much" is a generalization and vague per definition, listing all groups here would have the same effect... And I don't wanna argue with any group that some can put their name here and some not.
you are free to put any particular (newly scanlated by your group if you wish) manga here but don't just pin some list here, please.
I'll update main post again.
Could you edit your first post, remove the link and give actual examples? something like senaka gurashi really does fit, but checking groups releases is the same thing as checking releases pages. Thanks.
@Tripitaka, could you please remove the thread link? for the same reasons as I just stated... I'll add all fitting titles above. Thanks!
edit: 4 titles added

Link removed. Now, on to my first real contribution:
Chiruhi by KAWACHI Haruka - Seinen
A collection of short stories that has been re-scanlated and continued after a long hiatus. Set during the Edo period, each story outlines an encounter between people from different backgrounds. The tone is mellow, mature, almost musing, which goes well with the series' simple but effective artwork.

Just be careful about Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari if you don't like harems. This will quickly become one.
My current top 3:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Pandora Hearts
3-gatsu no Lion

Just look at the picture on the series page: he has at least three wedding rings on his finger.
And
it seems that probably a new girl has already appeared by the end of chapter 2 .
I'm really hoping I'm wrong though, I liked Amnesia a lot.

Well I just hope that it doesn't turn out that way, those rings don't have to be wedding rings for example 😉
Okobore Hime to Entaku no Kishi - Shoujo
Princess & Knight stuff with a (future?) queen collecting her 12 knights as a task to get to the throne. Not you usual weak shoujo lead, in fact she is strong and playful and does things on a whim, annoying the male lead. Just hoping this doesn't turn into a reverse-harem anytime soon, but a good first impression so far.
