Sometimes romantic, sometimes just warm.
Maybe Meant to Be
Manhwa, ? vol, 2022 Me:- Author:-
Really funny, straightforward romantic relationship even if it does start with the 'marriage' gimmick. No unnecessary sidetracking.

Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou

The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior

Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou
Manga, 11 vol, 2010 Me:- Author:9
One of my all-time favorites. Funny, sweet, largely inoffensive drama-wise, though it has a few characters that are... uh, acquired taste.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san

Teasing Master Takagi-san

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Manga, 20 vol, 2012 Me:- Author:9
One of my all-time favorites. Romance doesn't really happen until the last 20ish chapters, so it best works as a slice-of-life read with some nice comedy/chill.

Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru

When Will Ayumu Make His Move?

Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru
Manga, 17 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:-
Same author as Takagi-san, and similar vibes. Lite on romance, but high on sugar.
Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru
Manga, ? vol, 2018 Me:- Author:-
Lighting-in-the-bottle manga with nice art, okay-ish romance progress, & some light dabbing into borderline-awkward drama.
Ojisama to Neko
Manga, ? vol, 2017 Me:- Author:-
Just... sweet. That's all. Whether you've ever owned a cat or not, it's a heartwarming read.
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu
Manga, ? vol, 2018 Me:- Author:8
Fairly straightforward middle-school romance. If you're annoyed by the initial gimmick, don't worry, it's dropped relatively quickly as it then becomes your standard shounen romance (sidestepping most of the annoying tropes, though).

Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai

I Want to End This Love Game

Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai
Manga, ? vol, 2021 Me:- Author:-
I'm on the fence when it comes to this one, to be honest. It starts sweet, funny, and lighthearted, but around chapter 35~, it starts becoming more and more dramatic, often bordering melodramatic. Will revisit in the future.
Maou-sama to Kekkon shitai
Manga, 3 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:-
Read it mostly for fluff and comedy. From what I remember, romance is very lite until the end (as I think it got axed?).
Tsukushitagari na Uchi no Yome ni Tsuite Deretemo Ii ka?
Manga, 3 vol, 2021 Me:- Author:-
Mostly just straightforward fluff.

Tedama ni Toritai Kurokiya-san

Kurokiya-san Wants to Lead Him Around by the Nose

Tedama ni Toritai Kurokiya-san
Manga, 5 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:-
Largely straightforward 'pure gyaru' rom-com. Some over the top comedy, decent-ish romance progress.
Yankee JK Ayaka-san no Jakuten
Manga, 2 vol, 2021 Me:- Author:-
Mostly standard shounen rom-com. Some fluff, some comedy, some love. Fairly short, easy read.

Nega-kun to Posi-chan

Negative Boy Nega-kun and Positive Girl Posi-chan

Nega-kun to Posi-chan
Manga, 4 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:-
Can be a bit annoying at times, but mostly a straightforward rom-com with an over-the-top gimmick.
Surechigai wa Fuufu no Hajimari
Manga, 2 vol, 2021 Me:- Author:-
Largely a straightforward, ecchi-ish rom-com.
Natsuaki-kun wa Kyou mo Kokuhaku shitai
Manga, 5 vol, 2020 Me:- Author:-
Pretty sweet, straightforward, and easy to read.
Telework Yotabanashi
Manga, 1 vol, 2020 Me:- Author:-
Short, straightforward, and surprisingly adult (while still lighthearted) romance.
Iincho to Furyou-kun
Manga, 2 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:-
A decent gimmick, likeable characters, and some nice comedy.
Ore wa Shiranai Uchi ni Gakkouichi no Bishoujo wo Kudoiteita Rashii: Baito-saki no Soudan Aite ni Ore no Omoibito no Hanashi wo Suru to Kanojo wa Nazeka Terehajimeru
Manga, ? vol, 2022 Me:- Author:-
Haven't read the light novel so I can't comment as to how good of an adaption it is, but on its own, it's a fairly nice rom-com (mostly rom, tbh), with some relatively well-written characters.

Kakunaru Ue wa

Now That We Draw

Kakunaru Ue wa
Manga, ? vol, 2023 Me:- Author:-
A surprisingly decent quasi-parody of the genre with quite a lot of heart.
Kimi tte Watashi no Koto Suki Nandesho?
Manga, ? vol, 2022 Me:- Author:-
Fairly standard aggressive girl vs awkward dude shounen romance, except it's far more liberal with romance than most other shounen rom-coms.
Ushiro no Seki no Gal ni Sukarete Shimatta. Mou Ore wa Dame Kamoshirenai.
Manga, ? vol, 2023 Me:- Author:-
Solidly good. Quiet/mysterious girl vibes if you're into it (while still secretly sweet).
Moto Konyakusha kara Nigeru Tame Kyuuketsu Hakushaku ni Koibito no Furi wo Onegaishitara, Nazeka Dekiai Mode ni Narimashita
Manga, ? vol, 2023 Me:- Author:-
Surprisingly fun, with the caveat that it has the potential to become melodramatic in the future. So far, however, all chapters felt quite lighthearted & inspiring, and while it's somewhat lite on romance, it's quite funny & there 'is' progress.

Tonari no Neko to Koi Shirazu

Learning to Love My Cat-like Classmate

Tonari no Neko to Koi Shirazu
Manga, ? vol, 2024 Me:- Author:-
Jirai nan desu ka? Chihara-san
