This is a list of manga where the main characters or even all the characters are adults, whether they are college students or workers. Some of these manga have a big age gap (5 years or more) but I only included main characters who are at least 20 years old, which means they can be categorized as adults. Also, there are some series for which I only put the sequels because the main character is still under 20 years old in the prequel.

There are many other manga with adult characters that I've read but these are the ones I enjoy and like the most!

(At first I made this just for my personal list because I prefer lovely stories with adult characters~ but I decided to share in case you also have the same taste as me :))

I'll keep updating this stack! <3

✔️∎

Mangas published from 2020 onwards.

I read the first chapters of all of them, some I like and others I don't, but hey, variety is the joy.

Basically the same as part 1, but the requirements are less demanding. Clarify, they are not lists for a specific audience. There is something for everyone.

I will gradually catch up with all the mangas on the list to see if I remove them or not, I'm not going to be picky. This list is not about my tastes, it is with love from me to you, Mr. and Mrs. strangers.

Finally, there is everything here, yuri, yaoi, ecchi, not ecchi. The only thing I won't put will be NTR and all its variants so liked by our Japanese friends.
