good romance <3

The story revolves around Haruhi Fujioka, a poor student on scholarship who accidentally gets into debt by breaking a vase in the Host Club’s room, who then decide to make her pay off her debt by becoming a host.
This manga is pretty good because it’s a satire of typical shoujo/romance tropes but also really well-done relationship between the characters and Haruhi. I usually dislike harem, whether the individual is male or female, but this is an exception.

The story revolves around Yoshioka Futaba, who succumbed to peer pressure in middle school and was unable to express her feelings to the boy she liked. Years later, she meets Tanaka-san, the boy she once loved, but now in highschool with a different name and personality?
This is a sweet and cute romance. One of the first romances I’ve read and I adore it. It’s so sweet and the development plus angst between the two characters makes it so worthwhile.

The story revolves around one of the few girls in a former all-boys school, Misaki, who also happens to be the student president. She secretly works as a server at a maid cafe, but when the school’s idol Usui finds out her secret, how will things change?
Well, Usui happens to be a forceful pervert but still one of my favorite romance leads ever. His dynamic with Misaki is annoying at times but so sweet and cute.

A series of one-shots based on the isekai genre and otome games. I really enjoy these romance one-shots, some are kind of weird, but many of them are definitely memorable.

Princess Yona lives a sheltered life till one day everything changes forever…
The pacing, the characterization, the development of the relationships between the main character and her friends, her love interest and her <3. The ambiguity and anguish of her feelings towards the king. It’s amazing and one of my favorites on here. Also, it’s wrongly listed as harem. Yona has one love interest throughout the series and is faithful to one guy.

15 year old Yuri is a high schooler whose life is content, her family and friends love her, she and her childhood friend have a budding romance, that is, till she’s spirited back into time during the reign of the Hittites!

This series is genuinely so romantic and so passionate, like I was literally in tears over how much the male lead loved Yuri. You’ll grow to appreciate a lot of the characters and Yuri’s growing strength and her love for Kail, and his desire for her.

Letitia is an orphan who remembers her past life in Korea. For that, her extended family send her as a bride to the monster of Halstead. But little does Letitia know what her husband’s face, or her destiny hides.
This is an excellent story. I am a little miffed at the slow updates but the characters are refreshing because the male lead is a complete simp for his wife and has a very sweet, gentle personality while the wife is the strong, independent type. They compliment each other well.

A woman from Korea reincarnates as the villainess of a novel’s story, Melissa Podebrat. She sets out to change her destiny, beat up the misogynistic male leads, and rescue the female lead and side characters!
I can genuinely say this is an incredible story because the MC recognizes the toxicity of a lot of male leads present in media and in real life, so she seeks to combat that. The first half of the story isn’t necessarily romance, but her romantic relationship does develop well.

A chance encounter between a quiet artsy girl and a wild, reckless boy leads to a spell bounding romance.
The genre also listed there is psychological, so trigger warning for sexual violence. I really loved seeing how Kira herself changed as a person as she accepted her sexual trauma and decided to stop letting people hurt her and stand up for herself. Like that genuinely was good development. Her relationship with Rei was amazing too, the two are so different but at the same time so similar.

GOSICK is a Sherlock-type story centering around our young detective Victorique and the outcast Japanese exchange student named Kujo.
Sigh, this is one of the first romances I watched or read. The story has a bit of a magical quality to it and the slow-burn romance between Victorique (Whose bit of a tsundere and denies her feelings) and Kujo, is simply adorable. It’s set in the background of solving mysteries, which are also equally interesting.
