I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a Romance which contains a main couple who are completely comfortable in each others presence. So instead of the usual tension which usually contains the googly eyes and blushing, Im instead looking for characters who are completely and totally themselves with each other. While I do like tension with characters in my stories (which makes good drama, which therefore I am a sucker for, lol), I have gotten quite fond of characters who treat each other very casually and stay true to their personality. This is often occurs in less manga than I would like, but so far Ive read Toradora, perfect girl evolutionand Lovely Complex. These are very good examples as all contain main leads who stay (most of the time) comfortable in the others presence, if that makes sense.

Any rec for any genre would be great. thanks.

kimi wa petto kind of.
Masca?

Uchi no Tantei Shirimasen ka?. Although it's shounen-ai.

Edit: Penguin kakumei not much romance though... (still adorable)

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Nodame Cantabile
Gokusen
Akagami no Shirayukihime
Koukou Debut-most of the time
Superior

at least until they realize they like each other:
Ouran High School Host Club
Fruits Basket

Kare Kano and Mars come to mind as they technically kind of fit what you're looking for but are really high drama anyway

Solanin But the story is really sad.

W-Juliet...for the most part, they're comfortable around each other, work as a team, etc. though she does blush when he kisses her. 😀

Love Roma

This reminds of The Hating Girl

more seinen:
Asatte Dance-kind of in a weird way
Hataraki Man

not much romance, but what's there is mostly chilled out:
Genshiken
Forget-me-Not
