Romance Manga (17,689)

Falling in love and struggling to progress towards—or maintain—a romantic relationship take priority, while other subplots either take backseat or are designed to develop the main love story. The narrative focuses on the thoughts and emotions of the characters, illustrating the connections between them and explaining their reactions to events or conflict. Almost always, the story ends happily and the couple is rewarded for their efforts with lasting love.

Romance stories require significant romantic development leading to some kind of conclusion: either to begin the relationship, continue it, or end it. Open-ended romantic endings are only acceptable when the work is an incomplete adaptation of a Romance source. "Teasing" stories which do not narrate significant romantic development but have a conclusion should be tagged Romantic Subplot.

A story can be simply Romance. Since they are plot-driven stories showing humans experiencing romantic struggle, most Romance has some Drama inherently. For both tags, the drama should be focused not only on the relationship but also on the side storylines; for example, one character overcoming the death of a loved one or a drug addiction. Comedy requires Romance narratives to be focused on eliciting laughter, not only using comedy for lightheartedness. Slice of Life and Romance are incompatible by definition.

With her long silver hair, mesmerizing blue eyes, and exceptionally fair skin, she has captured the hearts of countless male students while being highly admired by all others.

Second-year high school student Misuzu Moritani is reserved and has trouble communicating with her peers. However, she possesses an uncanny ability to stop time for around three minutes a day, which she liberally uses to escape any sort of interaction. Walking around the school during one of her time-freezes, she sees the beautiful Haruka Murakami sitting by herself. Letting curiosity get the best of her, Misuzu lifts up Haruka's skirt to take a peek at her panties, only for the girl to ask her what she was doing. This sudden response shocks Misuzu, bringing confusion as to how Haruka was able to move when everyone else is suspended in animation. Rather than lashing out, Haruka asks Misuzu for help, offering an unconventional method of payment for her troubles. But, as the socially awkward Misuzu gets more involved with the secretly troublesome Haruka, the latter's true intentions gradually become more apparent. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

It is the start of yet another day in the Takashiro household, and Kouta Takashiro is gently but firmly roused from sleep by his personal maid, Meika Kujou. It has been a year since Meika started working for Kouta in exchange for an old favor extended to her by his father. This is all well and good, but it also means that Kouta lives alone with a girl who is a classmate at school and a maid at home! Meika rarely loses her professional touch when it comes to assisting Kouta, but lately she has been slipping up all too often. Sadly, Kouta is far too dense to be aware of Meika's feelings—which are proving to be increasingly difficult to contain. Every time Meika's heart begins to race in anticipation, Kouta manages to disappoint her by failing to take a hint. However, hopeful as she is, Meika herself refuses to acknowledge her feelings toward Kouta. Nonetheless, one's true emotions can only be restrained for so long—and Meika and Kouta's time spent denying their feelings is slowly but surely running out. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
