I'm looking for a soulmate manga. Born for each other, literally, or something along those lines. By extension, I guess that means mostly reincarnation type. I'm looking for something sweet and with a decent plot, and their fateful meeting based on something positive. Mostly romance. Kinda want the focus to be on the "born to meet you" part, but if not, it's ok. 🤣
No actual requirements though, feel free to suggest anything at all if it has the soulmate aspect. ^^

Shounen-ai and shoujo-ai are lovely, yaoi/yuri/hentai ok as long as the focus isn't on smutty scenes.

Here are some that I can think of:
Bokura no Kiseki Not really but the main character was in a sense destined to meet all of them.
Please Save My Earth
Saiyaku wa Boku wo Suki Sugiru
Shinkuu Yuusetsu
Hajimari no Niina
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha ...sort of? Demon lord + hero is Sort of a destined soulmate thing right? One person in the whole world that they were born to meet, and all. 😕
Hataraku Maou-sama! Plot doesn't really seem to be getting anywhere though.
Superior
Megane-chan no Akaiito they weren't born to meet each other, but close enough.
Gan-Kon same thing as above

Sorta spoiler-related soulmates below:

Sailor Moon
Neon Evangelion Genesis (debatable)

You can suggest things that I'm reading or dropped/completed. I've mostly forgotten them anyway. Pls don't suggest anything I listed tho. xD
Thank you!! 😀
edit: thought of some more and just discovered the Red Thread of Fate category in case anyone else is interested in finding stuff like this too 😳

Pieta definitely fits.

aaaahh thank you!! i just started it. i haven't read many mangas in the psychological category, so it feels extra unique so far. 😃

Lonely Wolf, Lonely Sheep
"This is the story of two women with very different lifestyles whose fates become inexplicably intertwined from the moment they first meet."
Try the Fated Lovers category also:

thank you so much wow i'm glad i got replies so quick. they definitely do seem they were destined to meet, especially with their names 😛

i honestly did not know that category existed, so extra thanks!!! i tried looking under soulmates and thought it was kinda weird i didn't find one, but it seems to have gotten divided up into a few different more specific categories

Try Akai Michi
I think Shinigami Lovers also fits?
Koyubi wa Amaku Sasayaku
Meikyuu Yaburi no Hananusubito
Calling (Otsuki Miu), yaoi, fated meeting, has smutty scenes, but it is not the focus

oh geez i think i have to propose to you now. thank you so much, really, i appreciate it. i've been craving soulmate stuff to read for awhile now, and thought my list was all there was. So glad to see this is not the case. Thank you!

How about Sarashi Asobi by TOBINA Touya? It revolves around a shinigami and the girl he's supposed to secretly supervise during her last moments but of course they're feelings grow into a different direction. Warm and light romance.

If you're in for a sweet and funny non-romantic relationship, check out SHIWASU Yuki's Furou Kyoudai. A pair of supernaturally challenged twins cannot be separated from each other, no matter what happens.

Recently, there's been a straight but plain Shoujo series that might fit: Inochi Mijikashi, Koi seyo Furyou Shounen! by NIJINO Yuka. The male lead is doomed to die if he doesn't stay close to the female lead. Needless to say that they fall for each other.

Not a romance but still about a pair: the protagonist from TAKAHASHI Tsutomu's Hito Hitori Futari and his guardian spirit. The premise is similar to my first recommendation, only that this series doesn't focus on romance but on how they compliment each other in order to change the Japan into a better place. Over the course of the story they come to care for their partner deeply. Heavy on the politics.

To be savoured:

• Blood Alone by TAKANO Masayuki
• Otoyomegatari by MORI Kaoru
• Gangsta. by Kohske
• Seishun Kouryakuhon by AKIZUKI Sorata

Does Hana to Akuma fit as "was born to met you" and "fated meeting"? A demon finds a baby girl in front of his door... Wish also? Fated meeting? A guy finds an angel in a tree... And it is like Kohaku's destine is to be with Shuichiro. CLAMP has a lot of stories like this, like Kobato. too (Kobato reminds me of Hajimari no Niina a bit).

They are more like "picked up" someone and grow to love them, I guess. Does it also counts as fate? Since it was at that time and that person...

non-romance is still great!! bokura no kiseki (listed above) is one of my favorites, and i think i adore carlo's meeting the most, who is so far and will probably stay just a friend of the MC's present and past life. thank you thank you and the way you format is beautiful

haha i really don't know at this point! the fated meeting part is a big part of what i like about it, so i can consider it so. But you've really helped me out tons you lovely person you, i'd offer you my firstborn, but i'm not sure if that's a favor. i mean, babies can be cute, but what would someone want with someone else's baby. they're mostly just poopy and screamy.
kobato spoilers:

i dunno if i remember right, but i think kobato had a soulmate thing going on. kobato was actually a reincarnation of sorts that houses the soul of the iragi's ex-lover. well. he doesn't end up falling for kobato though, since the soul is still independent of kobato.

i feel bad for constantly bumping this, but at the same time, i really want to say thanks because i'm rly thankful. thank you all you're all wonderful people

I'd recommend Spirit Circle MC's current friend/family were his allies/lover/wife/friends/family/etc... in all of his past reincarnations. The girl that he was attracted to in his present life is unfortunately, is his fated enemy, because of his unforgivable betrayal in their first iteration. MC is currently reliving his past lives to understand her better, and he has to deal with "bleeding effect" (Assassin Creed's term) when he confused himself with his past selves.

There's also a girl who has been his source of happiness in his past lives, as lover in one and daughter in another, but yet to appear in his present life.

A whole lot of different kinds of soulmates, from familial, to platonic, to bromantic, to romantic

My list (rated by addictiveness, not necessarily quality)
Reading
Complete

Hmmm... since you said shounen-ai was ok, i have two that maybe fits:

Uraboku The two main characters were lovers through several lives before this one, except this time, the girl is reborn a boy.

Silver Diamond - it's a long series, but probably one of my favorite of all times, because of the plot, but also because of the two mains, who were "destined to meet"~ (this one has no actual shounen-ai, but the main characters are all guys.) 😀
