Sucky title, yeah

First and foremost I want to say that I have no idea how I could search for what I'm requesting, to see if it has been asked before ^^; So I apologize if there is a thread that is 100% like mine, and please direct me to it.

I'm looking for recommendations!
Manga that is romance (or rather a strong friendship) where complete strangers meet in an every-day average setting:
Laundry mat, grocery, library, etc.

I'd prefer if the romance/strong friendship were kept within the setting, thus never coming to a close. Though otherwise (they take the romance further, get into a relationship, etc.) is okay too.

A few chapters in Bus Hashiru fit perfectly, to give you an example.

Yaoi, yuri & hentai are O-k!

________________

Renai Bus Stop comes immediately to mind for me, where - you guessed it - they meet at the bus stop. BL, for those who care.

As I recall, the main girls of Oniisama e met on a pretty ordinary bus ride, but it was made into the most amazingly melodramatic bus ride ever driven. Especially in the anime. *spin spin spin*

There's Densha Otoko, of course.

Not sure if this is what you looking for but

Tuesday, 9PM

The female meets the male when looking for a house

That first story was so cute, and definitely along the lines of what I was looking for. Thank you


Oniisama e doesn't seem like it's what I'm looking for, and the art scares me Going to check out Densha though!


<3 What an odd manga. Read it, enjoyed it. Thank you for suggesting, it fits my criteria

*waits for more recommendations*
Come on guys, there has to be a bunch!

Not your average, everyday setting, but it is the only place they can meet.

...What's wrong with Genshiken's summary?

I've been meaning to read genshiken forever >.< It's sort of just been sitting there...Why is the summary wrong?
Mahoraba will be hard for me to get into but it might be worth it, thanks for the suggestions


Sanchoume no Tama....trap is not really trap...Sad day Ousama no Shichiya has a bad translation, so I'm not even going to bother I could make more sense of the raws. Shuukatsu is great so far, I'll continue to read it. Haruyuki Bus is purrrrfect! Thank you thank you thank you!!! :'3


That is on my decided not to finish list, and I have no idea why. Mind giving me some mild spoilers? Or some incentive?


Interesting! I read the first chapter...how does the tone go? Does it get bubbly or depressing as it goes on? If it's the latter, I'll probably continue to read it...

Well, it's listed as a tragedy, and that usually means someone dies. And it is kindof heartrending.

The artist is the same as from Bus Hashiru though, and I count that as a huge plus.

yume de aetara - does a speed date count as your average setting?

I don't know, now it has been changed, it was different this morning (but I don't remember it anymore).
Mahoraba is great for its slice of life.

Well I would say Basara, but I don't know if you count that as one or not.
