Collection of romance between the distinctly younger and older <3
*May include some smut or boys love

Mostly consists of romance between parties living under one roof.

Hand-picked selection of some of my favorite age-gap romance manga.

Note that some of them are not 100% romance-oriented (leaning more on other genres instead -action, mystery, etc), but there's enough presence of romantic development from start to finish.

-Will update from time to time

Want to get your monthly dose of toxic relationships? We got everything from hyper obsessive parents to extremely melodramatic couples! This is a relationship guide for everything you 100% SHOULD NOT do in real life.

** The toxicity is one of the focal points of the manga. I have marked why they are toxic. Everything listed appears in the first few chapters. Some manga may have more toxic elements than what is posted, however it'll appear later in the manga and I don't want to spoil!

Please use list view!

Mangas featuring adult female leads
No smut (ง ื▿ ื)ว


Part 1: ↓↓↓
Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21316
Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/37901

sussy age gaps between high schoolers and working adults. varying levels of sussiness, in terms of both the actual relationship between the two characters & how others within the story react to their relationship. listed in order of how sussy i personally find them to be, with both some at the bottom since i can't remember how sussy they are and some which are not high school. if this interest stack ever fills up to the max of 50 those will be the first to go to make room for more sussiness

• does include minor/adult relationships
• includes both shoujo & josei
• updates regularly

Works in which the main protagonist has been in previous romantic relationships prior to getting together with their main love interest, or is established to have been in a romantic relationship prior to the events of the story.

A mix between light-hearted ~mostly adult~ romance (family friendly), comedy, mystery, and *kinda* sport-sy manga (akane-banashi).

Questionable age gap but cute and not very weird ;)

Mangas that provide a(n) immersive/fluid reading experience because of their dynamic composition/panel structure/art, and well-timed & well-selected dialogue and evocative character expressions. Characters/action come to life as the reader has to do less work to “fill in the blanks”, so to speak. Dramatic effects have high impact, but the comedy (if any) is where some of these mangas really shine.

This stack is kinda like a 2-in-1 as it contains great comedies but also non-comedies; in my experience, good flow is a prerequisite for successful comedic execution in this medium.

Stack notes:
- Entries noted with “*LOL” are great comedies i.e. funny enough to make me (and hopefully you) actually laugh out loud
- Contains BL (boys love)

when they don't get along but still fall in love >>>

i only love fictional men ❤️
(i guess this stack also doubles as a shoujo/josei romance recommendation list)

included tags for notable genres like if it includes angst, reincarnation, smut, etc. so it's easier if there are certain things you'd prefer to avoid. won't mention romance bc it goes without saying that all of them include romance (:

more that's not listed on MAL:

Under the Oak Tree [상수리나무 아래] - manhwa; josei
❤️ Riftan Calypse x Maximilian Calypse
• i'm down bad for him but ngl he's kind of a red flag
• he has major anger issues, extremely possessive and overprotective over maxi
• BUT he's so hot that i became colour blind to the red flags
• and when he's not being big scary angry lord/knight man, he's actually the sweetest and most caring and loving husband ever
+ was adapted from a novel (the manhwa doesn't include actual smut scenes but if ya'll want it, read the novel... it's hella explicit)
• tags: yandere ML, historical, implied smut, drama, fantasy

Depths of Malice [악의의 농도] - manhwa; josei
❤️ Blaine Shade x Verta Alberhart
• toxic couple alert lol but they deserve each other
• the main plot for this one revolves around verta's quest for revenge. romance is a bit like an afterthought and only really shows in the later parts of the story
• but i love blaine because of his loyalty and dedication to verta
• he doesn't care that she's hellbent on ruining people's lives and is more than willing to aid her in it if it meant she would look his way
+ was adapted from a novel
• tags: historical, smut 🔞, reincarnation, drama, fantasy, nobility

Destined to Love You [偏偏宠爱] - manhua; shoujo
❤️ Jiang Ren x Meng Ting
• disclaimer: this story has a very inaccurate portrayal of bipolar disorder
• classic bad boy good girl trope but i love it
• jiang ren is so set on pursuing her despite her numerous rejections that he keeps working on himself to become a man that's good enough for her- studies harder, drops his bad habits like smoking and drinking, etc.
• deep down, he has a ton of insecurities even though he appears to be cocky on the surface
+ was adapted from a novel
• tags: yandere ML, school life, reincarnation, slice of life, drama, angst, bad boy!ML x smart girl!FL

Only for Love [错撩] - manhua; shoujo
❤️ Shi Yan x Zheng Shu Yi
• a successful couple who loves to watch each other succeed
• tons of miscommunication and misunderstandings between the two at the start but when they finally settle down and fully trust each other, their bond is so strong and beautiful
• Shi Yan can be loving but in all honesty, he takes himself too seriously that i cannot fantasize about being with someone like him- i mean i know he's the way that he is because of his upbringing and position but he's not for me. i love him and shu yi together so much tho
+ was adapted from a novel
+ has a live action series adaptation
• tags: office, drama, CEO!ML x reporter!FL
