| By mature romance I really mean manga that reference sex or at least go past kissing. Find it hard to read manga after manga where the story takes place over a year or longer and at the very end they... Confess and have a light kiss... Now there are a few ground rules a should set up to make what I am looking for more clear which are: 1. As stated No love triangles, or at least have it only be a minor love triangle, what I mean by this is I don't want an indecisive lead, preferably the main couple gets together earlier on which doesn't often happen in a manga focused around love triangles. (I think this goes without saying but also no Harems or Reverse Harems) 2. When I said go past kissing I did mean reference sex, however I'm ok with the maturity level of manga like L-DK in which they don't have sex but also don't turn any type of physical contact in to the single most embarrassing moment in their life. 3. Preferably be over 2-3 volumes or have 9+ chapters and be completed however I don't mind if its ongoing. 4. Don't mind any genre except for Yaoi/Yuri/Tragedy/NTR however as I stated earlier I do want a clear relationship between the two leads which would most likely eliminate most shounen, also want to point out I am ok with Smut but strongly against ecchi and hentai (plz don't rec either), If you don't understand the difference between smut and ecchi (since it really is a rather fine line, although smut is usually in shoujo whereas ecchi is in shounen/seinen) then just don't recommend it. The easiest way I could explain it is that Smut is referencing sex out right where as ecchi is sort of like referencing sex or sexual themes without actually mentioning it, IE Innuendos or clothes ripping and a girl lying naked, Ecchi is used more for comedic relief. 5. I already sort of stated this but I would prefer if it focused on the relationship and trials while in the relationship as opposed to the events leading up to the relationship as there are quite a few seinen that could be considered a more mature romance however have like 14 volumes of misunderstandings as a primary source of drama and then finally the couple gets together in the last volume. What prompted me to make this thread was recently I read Boku ni Natta Watashi and realized their are probably quite a few more mature romance manga out there that have no label or anything indicating them as being a more mature romance. I am actually basically looking for Shoujo/Josei however not opposed to Shounen/Seinen. Preferably it is also primarily romance (quite a few adventure/action shoujo will have a more mature moment however the romance is minimal). I want to stress though that I am really just looking for a manga that moves at a faster pace, I am not looking for manga centered around sex. Also I have a shit ton of manga on my plan to read list so if you see one that matches my criteria feel free to rec it however don't feel pressured to look through all of them since I have quite a long PTR list. |

| I don't mind love triangles if they don't last too long, I just don't like an Indecisive lead who basically leads multiple people on. But yeah Thank you, might try Usotsuki Paradox if more of it comes out, hate waiting, and definitely gonna check out the first 3 you listed, they all look very good. Flowers of Evil and Eden no Hana I might read but yeah not the biggest fan of love triangle themed manga. Also Chocolate Cosmos looks interesting, don't find too many student x teacher manga any more so thank you. You are right though, there are a shit ton of manga I'm passing over due to love triangles and have now been reading some rather... bad manga in an effort to get romance without love triangles so I will probably sooner or later force myself to read some and grow to appreciate it... Just wish there were more like Koukou Debut, Heart, Mars, Saruyama!, etc. where their is plenty of drama however even if their are love triangles it doesn't last long, especially not till the last chapter. Anyways I did enjoy Goong so maybe I'll go back to the romance thread I made where their were alot of love triangles and start reading that. Thank you for the recs though. |

| Not that I read much manga but I know how you feel about love triangles. I don't like them too and would rather avoid them in romance anime and drama shows if possible but I realised now that it is almost impossible so now I just hope for weak triangles that don't last too long. I have given up in trying to avoid them in my Korean/Japanese live dramas that I watch so now just want happy endings :) Mind you the only romance show (including the live dramas) I've come across that had NO love triangles at all was Clannad which is ironic because it starts of appearing like a harem. |
