Sure there are genres where romance IS NOT the slightest focus of the story, and even so the romance is faster than some precious rom com like Komi-san lol


What do you think?

Sure i'm not talking about romance progression in Pokemon, One Piece or Doraemon lol, but i'm afraid that there are rom coms even slower than these

most shounen romcoms are super slow anyway. They tend to focus a lot on repetitiveness and repeating the same concept for a billion chapters rather than actual development

like last time I checked Rent-a-girlfriend had something like almost 200 chapters and still no confession lmao

but slowest I've seen that wasn't a generic shounen with bait I think would be Love Lab (sadly lol). Or maybe Who Made me a Princess, I'm not even sure why the tag is there in the first place

Skip Beat! it took over 200 chapters for Kyouko to realise her feelings and then another 70-80? chapter for them to confess to each other...yet EVEN AFTER THAT they STILL are NOT together.
I think that's the one which sticks out the most to me rn.

Gekkan Shoujo & Bakarina probably can go down that list as well....supposed romance tag but like....no progress AT ALL. ALSO Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, like WHY DID IT EVEN HAVE THE TAG????

there are prolly couple of Manhwa which will also take their sweet time before anything happens guessing from how the Novel unfolded, etc
(Villains Are Destined to Die, Charlotte and Her 5 Disciples, The Villainess Lives Again, The Twins' New Life, The Princess Imprints the Traitor, The Readymade Queen, etccc)

Also want to quickly mention beatrice, things have picked up over the latest chapters but i feel so bad for the ML cause I'm sure you could literally tattoo it on her forehead that he likes the FL, and she'd still be convinced that he was Gay.

You can try Maison Ikkoku for romcom. It has very satisfying ending and definitely my fav romcom so far. It takes its time slow to build the MC become a worthy man to be able to support a family before he properly confess.

I can only remember Komi can't communicate.
The romance starts like when they are in 2nd year.

Good call. I was one of the 90's/early00's youngsters doomed by these never-progressing comedies lol

I know this series. But i never finished or even followed for so long, so, after the 48 volumes and probably decades of releases, in the end the MC and the Main Goddess was already married and with many kids, right?


Right...?

Oregairu. I can even think that the title is misleading over its plot.
