It doesn't have to be JOSEI, but it has to be mature and adulty (like characters aren't acting like 12 year olds when they like someone or whatever)

- Female MC isn't subservient and isn't super weird and "cute-sy"
- male MC isn't a creepy rapey dude who just looks good (eg any josei smut manga)
- muST have romance/some drama to keep it going
- Good character development + relationship development
- no harems/reverse harems, unlike a SMALL LOVE TRIANGLE IS COMPLETELY NECESSARY
- NO "i'm 20 and has never had a boyfriend" trope, like unless it doesn't make the MC seem weird and "innocent" i dont want that. (it sounds really creepy, but whenver that is brought up, the male MC always acts super rapey and makes it seem like hes gonna 'take' her virgnity or whatever stupid 'innocent' shit)

IF ITS POPULAR I'VE PROBABLY READ IT OR HAVE ALREADY HEARD OF IT THANKS.

Hello,

I don't have non-homosexual romantic josei manga save two, which were both quite good in my eyes:
Usemono Yado : A 3-volumes story, with the 1st one dedicated to the introduction to the universe, the second one develop a lot the side-characters in order to further introduce the two mains, then the 3rd volume is dedicated to the relationship between the two mains.
Seiza no Onna Series : You won't find it scanlated in English, but maybe it is available in China or scanlated in Chinese, I dunno. 10 « short » stories about various women. Most of those stories are romantic save one or two. It is actually one of the earliest josei manga published.

This one is definitely good. The story start from when both of the MC first met in elementary school until they grow up into adult. It's quite mature, some heavy problems and dramas. It's available in english, but the scanlation hasn't finished yet. It has 10 volumes and i know the ending since I have all the volumes, so if you haven't read it and curious about the ending, just ask me
