Hi!
Here I am again to ask you for some suggestions. This time, I'm looking for a romance manga (or manhwa) that has an "adult" feeling to it (I don't know if you understand what I mean xD). It can be shoujo, of course, but it has to have that. Something like Kimi wa Pet, for example, in which the main character is a sucessful journalist. My lists are public, so you can check what I've read or I'm reading.
I don't like:

  • Shoujo-ai, shounen-ai
  • Yuri, yaoi, hentai
  • Lolicon, shotacon
  • Mechas
  • Gender bender
  • Incest
  • Future related stuff
    And it must:
  • Have good art
  • Have original plot and not a cliched one
    I prefer completely scanlated mangas, but I don't mind some that are still being scanlated if they are really something... I don't mind if it's a shoujo, a josei, a shounen or a seinen, although I prefer shoujo and josei. I don't mind as well smut or mature (as long that it has plot) or fantasy/supernatural related stuff.

Bokura ga Ita - It's very realistic, slow placed but well put together.
Mars - personal favorite, always recommend it.
Paradise Kiss - very good, you most likely already read it.
Revolutionary Girl Utena - Some people think it's shojo-ai, I personally don't think it is. The main character is kind of young but many of the characters are older and it has in my opinion a mature feeling.
Oh I forgot The Other Side of the Mirror - josei, takes place in New York.

Most josei romances should suit you well.
Oishii Kankei is my personal favorite.

You must read Natsu no Zenjitsu...NOW. It's seinen, but it should fit exactly what you're looking for, and considering how picky I am about my manga, it is in my opinion, a very good read. The art has a somewhat sketchy look to it, but that shouldn't keep you from being able to distinguish the characters.

Nowhere near being completely scanlated, but it's definitely worth the read if you love romance manga, with, as you've put it-an adult feeling. 😀

hummmm, there are some good suggestions above. Shuukatsu! was really cute.

here are some others:

A kiss to the Prince - a fantasy historical where a maid ends up working for the crown prince.

Ai Hime Ai no Himegoto - this one has a school girl, but most of the action takes place outside school. it has a more mature feel to it. this is actually one of my favs.

Real Fake Princess - Chinese historical. it has more action than most pure romances.

The One - A girl becomes a famous model.

Hotaru no Hikaru - A working girl ends up living with her manager but has another boyfriend (no smut)

Antique Romance - a girl is sold to a shipping magnate and becomes very devoted to him (I dont consider it real loli-its pretty sweet, imo)

Nana- a deep romance with a adult feel. On hiatus because author just got out of hospital, but is still very sick.

Suki-tte Ii na yo is different from typical shoujo in that it delves into real insecurities. A slower romance... a little angsty/emo. Definitely for ages 16+. Unfortunately, it's not completely scanlated/still on-going...

But for a quick read post-high school (no hormones) go with Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei (personal favorite - ahhh... the college years)
