This is a collection of wholesome romances that don't give you the depressing ending of a character romantically unresolved - you know what you're getting into and what characters will pair up (no nisekoi/oregairu/school days bs). Softcore NTR FREE!!

Please let me know if I need to make any changes to the list - I read most of these manga and can vouch for their straightforward love stories. If you don't think a certain manga should be on the list feel free to send me a message.

Same rules just like other stacks and this will be last one i do for a while.

These shoujo mangas were the representation of shoujo demographic back then, mostly around 2007~2015 (the golden era).
There could be more if this is not an only-shoujo-not-josei stack and older ones (00s).
The last three is somewhat newer manga but made some impact and/or just straight up really good ones.

A compilation of romance mangas in which, at least in the beginning, the MLs are real bad boys, not just apparently.

hot shoujo boys are my therapists 🤌

All manga published by polish publisher Studio JG

—-

Studio JG, powstałe w 2006 roku, na początku swojego istnienia znane było z wydawania magazynu o mandze i anime „Otaku”. Po czasie ich działaność rozszerzyła się o polskie komiksy inspirowane stylem mangowym oraz doujinshi komedie oparte na wcześniej powstałych już tworach (np. Akatsukiss inspirowane Naruto, Dead Not inspirowane Death Note).
W 2009 postanowili wydać mangę „Hetalia”, co rozpoczęło ich drogę w zostaniu jednym z największych wydawnictw mangowych w Polsce.

Lista jest ułożona od najstarszej pozycji do najnowszej.
Part 1 obejmuje lata 2009 do 2016
Part 2 lata 2017 do 2019: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40735

Mangi, które nie są już w oficjalnej dystrybucji nadal można kupić z drugiej ręki.

Some of my favourite completed romance manga and manhwa. I have scored them 7 or higher.
Mixed genres of high school, university and working life.

I will be updating this over time as I continue to read more.

Enjoy!

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 (:

• 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

Female characters that possess mental fortitude, don't break under pressure. They must have great resilience in the face of difficult or dangerous situations or even tragedy. They don't have to be super smart or geniuses, mental fortitude/stoicism is what matters. Preferably physical strength isn't their main characteristic but their mental fortitude.
