Switching to Romance! Need more!
12 years ago
Posts: 251
So after reading what seems like almost all the action/martial arts manga I could find, I've been recently reading a lot of romance mangas.
I've already searched using the filters and read a lot of good ones, but I need more suggestions.
Here's what I'm looking for:
- Romance
- Light comedy (too much ruins the mood)
- Seinen or shounen (NO shoujo)
- I'm okay with harem, as long there is developments in the relationships and it's not just one-sided interest
I prefer the manga to have (but it's not necessary):
- Borderline H, ecchi, or partial nudity (YES please, I'm a guy)
- No flat chested women (side characters okay)
PLEASE NO:
- smut
- yaoi
- hentai
- shoujo (sorry I'm not a fan of most shoujo art and the stories are too much)
Here's what I've read and looking for off the top of my head:
I've read a lot, and tend to read the highest/most rated mangas. So please try and think outside of those lines. Generally, if it's highly rated and has lots of votes, I've probably read it.
Sorry if I'm too specific, but this is what I'm looking for. Any suggestions welcome, even if it doesn't fit my criteria.
Thanks!

Horimiya
did I miss something here 😕
If Horimiya qualifies, Bonnouji would be alright.
then you should have read Otoyomegatari
Natsu no Zenjitsu
sorry but this

keeps me from posting more because there are guys that don't want this...
(and therefore I don't have many that fit this criteria...)

What Lorska said... Also, while I don't read ecchi, I might be able to suggest other mangas, but you said you have read every thing with a high rating.... So could you make your lists public for us to see what you didn't read?

Hahaha, I'm not a guy, but I have looked into Borderline H Romance mangas lately. I love smut (it's basically girls borderline H dude. And I really liked love junkies, so I decided to look more up.)
Ok, ones i've read:
Love Junkies
Nana to Kaoru (That can get pretty freaking intriguing)
I can't remeber anymore, but those are good. 🙂
We're recruiting at Kappa-Scans!

I agree with Lorska and strixflash. If you want us to recommend something matching, you'll have to provide more non-ambiguous information.
As long as I don't know more about your request, I'll just post the link to one of my older posts; ignore the thread title as well as the first and the last recommendation, the remaining ones should work:
[color=#8A795D]"Stories are what death thinks he puts an end to.
He can't understand that they end in him, but they don't end with him."
- Ursula K. Le Guin, Gifts[/color]
To be savoured:
- Blood Alone by TAKANO Masayuki
- Otoyomegatari by MORI Kaoru
- Gangsta. by Kohske
- Seishun Kouryakuhon by AKIZUKI Sorata

Sorry, I updated my orignal post, to clarify or correct my criteria. Borderline H, ecchi, or partial nudity is preferred, but not necessary.

Renai Shimasenka?
I guess I can second Change 123
Maybe Sekirei. It should have most of what you requested and despite being an ecchi harem there is some progress in the romance department.
Unless the author decides to kill of the girls it's bound to have marry them all ending.
Try:
Freezing
Highschool Dxd
Sora No Otoshimono
Omamori Himari
Kanokon
Maga Tsuki
Uwakoi
Aki Sora
ToraKiss A School Odyssey
Iinazuke Kyoutei
Maken Ki
Come Come Vanilla
Re:BIRTH The Lunatic Taker
Natsu no Zenjitsu
Highschool of the Dead
umm... ill do the rest later

ah that makes things easier.
you were looking for not so well known stuff?
then you should have read Melo Holic.
Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami
Blood Lad
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge
Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko
Tonari no Kashiwagi-san
Majime na Jikan
Carnivorous Princess Yegrinna
Chokotto Sister
Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa
Karin
that enough? I guess I could add more, but you could also check my lists, they contain almost only romance...
