Grounded romance <3

Romance stories I’ve found pretty relaxed or realistic, meaning no unnecessary subplots and drama like love rivals popping up out of the blue

So I can kick back my feet and giggle.

A cute manga romance between an officer and college student. This author scares me a bit bc they like to pull love rivals and jealousy plots in simple romances like this one, but luckily this manga was an exception. Just domestic fluff till the end that makes me wish there were more extras..

I will say there’s a little jealousy plot in the middle but it’s resolved really well and no characters make you feel frustrated during it. Just teens with crushes( ̄▽ ̄)

Rivals to lovers except I wish we had more of the rivals parts. That’s really my only complaint because this manga is pretty straightfoward and sweet.

Mild jealousy here but it’s mutual and happens pre-relationship. I’d say this story is actually one of my favs out of this list. It’s just so easy and sweetUTェTU
I also happen to love bottoms with animal characteristics like our mc

Once again a story about the main character’s really falling in love. There’s also a theme of domesticness which is a big one for me. Before anything they are able to interact slowly and develop a friendship

There may be some external issues with family later in the story but the characters seem to handle it well together so I wouldn’t let that scare you off

These issues are also very grounded considering the characters and their backgrounds so no dramatics most importantly

I know the plot seems a little worrying ( human soul in animal body) but keep reading after chapter 1 and the storys follows a very simple and lighthearted flow.
Very sweet overall~

Also nothing happens when the mc is in a animal form

It’s been a while since I read this★.. but the only conflict I remember is a short jealousy plot when a new character is introduced

Other than that it’s a pretty lighthearted friends to lovers romance. May update this though because god I hate jealousy(╥_╥)

since you enjoyed one of their works already, I really urge you to read all of hayane dento's works!! especially see you later, mermaid and born to love you are so, so good!! I think you'd really like them

Thank you for the recs! I just read “ See You Later Mermaid“ and I really enjoyed the whole melancholic vibe of the story as it kept going back and forth between past and present to show the main couple’s longing for one another. I usually tend to avoid romances with fantasy elements like the mc’s “mermaid voice“ in this one, because they tend to have more drama, but i’m glad the story was still focused more on the mcs love story over dramatics. That was pretty much what i liked in “Kimi ni wa Fureru to Naru Toko ga Atte“, so I’ll definitely keep reading more from this author(▰˘◡˘▰)

Anyways, If you have anymore recs please send them my way because I really want to grow this list into a personal library of sorts
I’ve reread all of these stories too many times to count so I need new stories to enjoy (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
