Completed Romance Manga/Manhwa/Manhua Recommendations (1)
Other than being into BL, I love reading romance stuff. So, I decided to make a completed romance recommendation list, too!
Positively Yours (82 chapters, Tapas)
Plot (AP): To Hee-won’s dismay, the BFF she crushed on and her other BFF are now dating! Seriously bummed, Hee-won decides to go wild just one time, and find solace with a handsome stranger. A very satisfying one night affair has now turned into more — she’s pregnant! Fate brings them together again, and now the regimented Doo-joon is determined to do the right thing and marry her. But they’re basically strangers! Except... their bodies have been very intimately acquainted. What’s this mother-to-be to do?
Notes: Everything about this manhwa, to me, is perfect. I love it. So much. I hope it gets an adaptation of some sort because the main couple and side couple are so. freakin'. cute.
Last Game (66 chapters)
Plot (AL): He's rich, he's smart, girls gather around him all the time, and he has always gotten first place on his exams... well, until Kujou transferred in his primary school class. She was quiet, plain, and poor, yet not once has she failed at beating Yanagi, both in academics and sports! Yanagi has made it his life goal to defeat this girl Kujou, and ten years later, as they enter high school, he just might finally win! This is the story of their last game.
Notes: I think this was really, really cute. The drawing is adorable as heck, too. It's wholesome and sweet. I love the Kujou and Yanagi very much.
Miss Not-So Sidekick (169 chapters; Tappytoon)
Plot (AL): Hye-Jung loved to read to escape her daily stress. But that’s before she woke up inside the bizarre world of her favorite novel! Instead of the main heroine who courts three eligible men, she is now Latte Ectrie – a minor villain that everyone hates?! One way or another, it’s a chance to live out her most beloved storyline, with popcorn in hand to watch all the drama! Taking charge of the narrative takes on a whole new meaning!
Notes: I think the art style is very unique. The story is funny and entertaining, and the romance is cute. It's slow-burn thought, but totally worth it! Latte for the win!
Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku (33 chapters)
Plot (AL): Crown prince Cecil was so brilliant that everything in life was easy to the point of boring him, then one day, his fiancée Bertia suddenly said "Prince Cecil, I am a villainess!" Claiming that this world is the same as that of an "otome game" from her past life and that she is playing the role of the "villainess" in it, she aims to play her part well and have their engagement annulled. With that goal in mind, she sets about causing turmoil in Cecil's daily life.
Notes: I think this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I absolutely adore this story. It's not common to have a reincarnation story from the point of view of the prince instead of the villainess!
Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! (961 chapters)
Plot (AL): Boyish high school girl Aizawa Tomo finally manages to tell her childhood friend Jun that she’s got a crush on him. Unfortunately, her confession goes right over his head—he didn’t even realize she was a girl until junior high, and even now, Jun still thinks of her as a bro! How can Tomo-chan possibly convince him otherwise and win Jun’s heart?
Notes: Now, don't be fooled by the number of chapters. One chapter usually has only 1 page, so it's a really quick read. It's funny and cute. I loved it! Plus, it's going to get an anime adaptation! I'm super excited!
Akuyaku Reijou nanode Last Boss wo Kattemimashita (17 chapters)
Plot (AL): Avoid the bad ending at all costs! When her fiancé breaks up with her in front of the entire student body, noblewoman Aileen d’Autriche is devastated—or she would have been, if that wasn’t also the exact moment memories of her past life came crashing back! Turns out, she’s been reborn as the villainess of a dating sim... and according to the story, she’s slated to die at the hands of the demon king in three months! But Aileen’s already got a plan: Step one, get Demon King Claude to fall in love with her. Step two, live!
Notes: If it's not obvious, I like reincarnation/isekai romance. I've enjoyed reading this one! It's cute and entertaining. You should most definitely give it a try! PLUS! It's going to have an anime adaptation! YAY!
Beauty Pop (57 chapters)
Plot (AL): Kiri's friend Kanako gives a present to one of the members of the Scissors Project. Her act of kindness is interpreted as a bribe to get a makeover, and they reject her out of hand for being too ugly. Kiri decides to help Kanako and give the boys a lesson in what true beauty is.
Notes: I actually read this when I was younger, but I seriously loved it. Give it a try, too! It's pretty simple lols. But I thought it was very enjoyable to read.
Taiyou no Ie (70 chapters)
Plot (AL): As a child, Mao spent all her time at Hiro’s house across the street. Going to his house always made her feel cheerful. A few years later, Mao’s father gets remarried and Mao finds herself with nowhere to call home. Hiro ends up letting her stay with him in the house he’s been occupying alone since the death of his parents. A love story unfolds, between two childhood friends of different ages.
Notes: This is most definitely one of the best romance mangas I've read. I absolutely love that it doesn't fully focus on the romance aspect, but also on the idea of 'family.' A manga that deserves an anime series! Mao and Hiro deserve good things in life. (〃^▽^〃)
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (69 chapters)
Plot (AL): Mizutani is a self-absorbed overachiever, concerned only with maintaining the highest grades in school. Haru is an impulsive short tempered brute, who scares everyone with his explosive bursts of violence. Haru gets suspended on the first day of school when he encounters some bullies harassing a student and dispatches the bullies with great bloody violence. Mizutani is tasked with delivering school materials to Haru who interprets this as an act of friendship and latches on to Mizutani, much to her dismay. And so begins a strange and potentially combustible relationship!
Notes: Another great romance manga. It has an amazing story, and the art is great! It's cute and entertaining, and again, I love that ~romance~ is not the only main focus of the story. All the characters are the best. It has an anime adaptation (which you should also watch) but the manga is 100000% better. Mostly because the story is more complete (of course.) I absolutely enjoyed the live-action, too! You have to check it out as well!
Dear (60 chapters)
Plot (AL): Meet Chiruha: She lives alone in a small secluded house deep in a mountainous forest, the TV her only connection to the outside world. After years of watching and dreaming of what life must be like in the outside world, she has gathered up her courage to venture out and explore the local village. However, she must be careful not to stand out among the humans, for Chiruha holds a secret...
Kisara also holds a secret...and a grudge. He's searching for who--or whatever cursed him, and he may have finally found the answer...
Notes: Now, I'm not sure if everyone would like this manga. I absolutely enjoyed reading it. I liked the story and the art (I think all the characters are adorable as heck). I loved all the characters. I really hope you give it a read. I hope you like it, too!
Horimiya (142 chapters)
Plot (AL): At school, Kyouko Hori is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Izumi Miyamura tends to get painted as a "loser fanboy." But when a liberally pierced and tattooed (not to mention downright gorgeous) Miyamura appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of secretly plain-Jane homebody Hori, these two similarly dissimilar teenagers discover that there are multiple sides to every story...and person!
Notes: I'm pretty sure everyone knows this one already, but I'll still include it because it's great! It's wholesome and entertaining. Everyone in this manga is da best. It has an anime adaptation, too!
Wotakoi (86 chapters)
Plot (AL): Narumi Momose has had it rough: every boyfriend she’s had dumped her once they found out she was an otaku, so she’s gone to great lengths to hide it. When a chance meeting at her new job with childhood friend, fellow otaku, and now coworker Hirotaka Nifuji almost gets her secret outed at work, she comes up with a plan to make sure he never speaks up. But he comes up with a counter-proposal: why doesn’t she just date him instead? In love, there are no save points.
Notes: Another well-known manga, which I am including because I love everything about it! All the characters are cute, the story is great, and the art is hella good. The anime got me into reading it, and it was a great decision. :3
Kondo koso Shiawase ni Narimasu! (30 chapters)
Plot (AL): “Wait for me, Louisa.” Those were the words that the hero, Graham, said to me before he set off to defeat the demon king. Graham who is both my childhood friend and lover. But, I have no intentions of waiting. In fact, I have the memories of my past three lives, and in all past three lives, I have been the hero’s childhood friend and lover. However, all past three heroes always found other women and never came back to me! That’s why I will no longer waste my time waiting for the hero to come back, this time I will definitely be happy!
Notes: I don't know. I really, really liked this one. I think the story is great! Try it out when you have time! :D
Hardcore Vanilla (34 chapters; Lezhin)
Plot (AL): “Tie me up and punish me. I want to be your dog…”
Chanhee has a major crush on Eunjo, the campus goddess. Tired of waiting around, he decides to join her in her secret fetishes – stepping foot into the wild, wild world of BDSM. What Chanhee doesn’t realize, however, is that Eunjo is a vanilla just like him, and that the two have just embarked on a journey neither of them had asked for. Kinks and crushes, and a whole lot of drama in between!
Notes: I guess it was kind of annoying at some parts, but I enjoyed reading it as a whole. It's very NSFW though. (〃 ̄ω ̄〃ゞ
What do you think of the mangas/manhwas in this list? Do you have any other recommended ones? Please share them if you do! I wanna read loooots more mangas/manhwas/manhuas!
There aren't many manhwas in this list...mostly because the ones I'm reading aren't completed yet... I look forward to adding more to this list!
