straightie hidden gems!!!only pretty artstyles and best finds

This list features stories from a wide variety of genres. There are plenty of hidden gems scattered throughout, so you’re bound to find a few that catch your eye no matter your tastes!!

BUTT, the standout factor for any manga I add to this list
is strong, well-written characters. Surface-level romance or flat side characters are an instant turn-off for me. I want stories that show genuine care in their writing. Where every character, even the secondary ones, feels thoughtfully developed.

ENJOY

I usually don’t add one-shots to this list since they rarely have enough time to develop the characters the way I want, but this one was too fun to leave out. Their dynamic was so enjoyable to read, and I genuinely liked both leads an LOT. Ugh, why are the best setups always in one-shots???? i want more

What screams fate louder than having your future boyfriend’s dad’s heart in your chest????And no, I’m not joking, that’s genuinely the plot. And somehow it works

These two are such a sweet couple. Before she even knew him, she was already carrying a piece of his world. They build such a soft, well-earned love.

And of course the romance is lovely, but what really hit me was the coming-of-age aspect. This is such an emotional, beautiful romance about healing and g

Classic shoujo is making a comeback and I’m absolutely living for it. The FL is the school’s unofficial matchmaker, always in the background, observing from the sidelines as she helps others find love. But then the ML comes along and turns the tables by falling for her. It’s such a timeless setup, and I eat it up every single time. Nothing groundbreaking or reinventing the genre, and it’s a bit too fast paced, but I liked it! Just a solid, feel-good shoujo with a charming

This is genuinely the best smutty webtoon out there, no joke.The FL is horny (bless her), and the whole story centers around her trying to be open with her boyfriend about what she wants from sex. It’s so refreshing to see sex portrayed from the girl’s perspective without shame. The main couple is adorable and realistically messy in the best way. Especially as they work through insecurities and learn how to speak honestly about their desires. i have so much more to say

This story is truly one of a kind. every single panel shines. The characterization, the plot, the humor, the relationships. everything is just so well done. Spirit Fingers is my forever comfort read 。:゚(;´∩`;)゚:。 It beautifully captures young love, friendship, messy families, chasing your passions, and learning to love yourself. The growth each character goes through is so heartwarming. • ‿ ,• I could reread this a hundred times and still fall just as hard.

Their relationship grows so naturally and realistically, exploring each new stage with open communication and love. Kotaro is the ultimate green flag. masculine, caring, emotionally intelligent. And he treats her like she’s the most precious person on Earth. This story makes me feel warm every time I pick it up. to think this all started with a scent fetish LMAO the balls on this author i swear.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m already obsessed with this one. Both leads are absolutely adorable ╥﹏╥ Their designs are so cute, the artstyle is drop-dead gorgeous, and their personalities are jnstantly loveable (⌒▽⌒) I’m sooo excited to watch their relationship unfold. The concept is super refreshing too. Having a reclusive female lead adds such a unique and endearing touch. I just know watching her slowly open up is going to be incredibly rewarding. ughh i cant WAIT!!!

I totally thought this was a yuri because of the cover and was disappointed at first But once I got over being catfished by the cover, it turned out to be a really cute read. I liked their dynamic it’s sweet and easy to enjoy. Not mind-blowing, but definitely an interesting and fun little story.

What can a LIST do?

though i’d also be happy to discuss stupid stuff

Please feel free to ask questions about any of the manga on this list!!!! seriously, I would love it! I’m a massive ranter at heart, and there’s just never enough room in the review section to say everything I want to say. Cutting my thoughts down to a few lines is honestly PAINFUL sometimes, because I have so much bursting love for these stories and characters, and I always want to scream about them in full detail. If there’s a series you’re curious about, something in a review that stood out to you, or even if you just want to chat about a story we both love. I would be absolutely overjoyed to talk.
