5 Romance Manga recommendations: Beginners Edition

Your Name

Romance, especially romance manga has a way of capturing your heart body and soul, and with so much out there it can be hard to know where to start, especially if you've never read one or you have read too many.

Romance manga can be simple and sweet, sour or savory, giving you cute and awe-inspiring stories to fill the void in your life or simply just to make you smile. Romance manga especially comes in many forms.

From high-school, to fantasy romance is everywhere. And although it may not be the raunchiest compared to our Smut, Shoujo or Yaoi counterparts, there is still a little something for everybody.

This list is a compilation filled with some of the best romance manga's I have read to date, hopefully it can be of use to you. Taiyou no Ie (13 Volumes) (53 Chapters)

Taiyou No Ie (House of the Sun)

Genre: Romance, Slice of Life, Comedy, Drama

Warning: Age-Gap romance

Taiyou No Ie (House of the Sun) is a coming of age romance.

The story follows our protagonist Mei who is suddenly faced with a difficult situation. When left with no alternative she is left with no other choice but to move in to her older childhood friends home. Along the way a budding romance begins to bud between the 2 childhood friends (Hiro & Mei).

This romance is quite extraordinary, it deals with abandonment, death and forgiveness, whilst still leaving room for the potential of new beginnings and romance to boot. it's sweet and simplistic romance between the to really is just like a ray of sunshine, bright warm and comforting.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (11 Volumes, 44 Chapters)

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (You Lie In April)

Genre: Drama, Romance, Slice of Life, Music

You Lie in April follows the life of a young piano prodigy Kousei Arima who suddenly goes into shock at the death of his mother causing him to become tone deaf ultimately, halting his budding piano career. 2 years after the initial incident Kousei although still unable to perform, clings to music which eventually leads him to meet Kaori Miyazono, a free spirited pianist who slowly helps him get over his trauma and much more.

You Lie in April is a story about trauma, love, friendship and music and is most certainly a must read I highly recommend it!

This story whilst sweet will certainly make you shed a tear or two but it is absolutely worth it the chemistry between these two protagonists is truly heart warming to the eyes.

Akagami No Shirayuki-Hime (25 Volumes, 132 Chapters)Akagami No Shirayuki-Hime (Snow White with the Red Hair)

Genre: Romance, Drama, Fantasy

Shirayuki our protagonist is a skilled and friendly herbalist known to her local people people in her native country of Tanburin. However when placed in a uncompromising position to become the prince's concubine, it causes her to flee the country overnight. Through her escape she meets Zen Westalia a prince of the neighboring country of Clarines who is almost killed (by a poisonous red apple lol) due to Shirayuki's pursuers, despite the occurrence Shirayuki manages to save Zen and the two become unlikely friends.

Together with Zen and his two friends Kiki and Mitsuhide they travel to Clarines as Shirayuki makes plans for a new life, where she aims to become a herbalist for the royal court, whilst juggling her budding feelings for the Prince of her new home Zen.

This a modern day take on the story of Snow White, with all the roles reversed and sketched to make its own story. The budding romance between Shirayuki and Zen is nothing short of mature and sweet, just the simple interactions between the two leads makes it obvious that the two are madly in love with each other. Shirayuki is also a strong, level-headed protagonist who fights back in the face of danger, another MUST!

Ao Haru Ride (Vol 13, Chapters 53)

Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride)

Genre: Romance, Drama, Slice of Life

Among one of the most popular girls in middle school resulting in her ultimately being shunned by her other female classmates, Futaba Yoshika revamps herself in highschool as an indifferent and unfeminine female just to have "friends".

However Futaba's life takes another turn at the sudden appearance of her first love Kou Mabuchi who had disappeared during their middle school days. Despite the long absence Futaba comes to the realisation of her feelings and confesses to Kou, who coldly declines leaving Futaba shocked by his changed and negative attitude. Although Kou himself admits that the feelings were once mutual he warns her that they can not go back to the past as everything has changed including himself.

Ao Haru Ride is a bitter sweet love story, although at times cliché it still delivers in terms of romance, friendship and the necessary change needed in a to develop both protagonists in this high school love story.

Lovely Complex (Vol 17, Chapters 68)

Lovely Complex

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Slice of Life

Lovely complex follows the chaotic lives of Risa Koizumi a taller than average girl and her on/off shorter than average male nemesis Atsushi Kotani as they join forces in order to pursue their love interests, unfortunately the plan does not go to plan as their crushes end up falling for each other, causing the two to form an unlikely bond that leads to friendship, rivalry and possibly love?

Lovely complex is a cult classic known to many romance and shoujo fans, catering to both female and male readers with its romantic but funny comedic troupes. Staying true to it's name it focuses on the issues, that protagonists must face because of their heights and uncanny childish similarities often causing them to rely on one another for help and assistance during their time of need. This unique and funny love story will certainly make you blush for one reason or another.

You mentioned in another post about reading shoujo manga... Can you list some that you consider as your faves or would highly recommend?

:D It's been awhile, but my faves were

Hibi Chouchou - Everyone's so cute and lovable. This is like, one of my all-time faves.

Skip Beat - This is ongoing and who knows if it'll ever end. But it's so fun. I guess I'll be reading this still when I'm 50 years old.

Hirunaka no Ryuusei - Yes, yes, I loved this one very much. I loved the art style.

Last Game - THIS WAS GOOD. yes.

Honey - I loved this one so much, I was looking up the Japanese scans just to write and add my own translations.... I didn't realize this was finished.

Nekota no Koto ga Ki ni Natte Shikatanai - I really enjoyed this one. Very funny and reminded me of when I read Kodomo no Omocha (Kodocha) when I was kid. That was also a good shoujo manga.

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii - I liked this one. ...apparently it's completed??? I never realized. I have to catch up.

Akatsuki no Yona - ....this is still going, too. I stopped following this one I guess when I caught up to all the updates at the time... I liked it to whatever point I read up to.

Akagami no Shirayukihime - tbh when I first started reading this one and Akatsuki no Yona, I would get the titles confused. I watched the anime with my husband, and he approved this one.

Ao Haru Ride - I don't normally get second-lead syndrome and I usually cheer for whoever the main chara loves, but I unfortunately felt for the second lead really hard in this one :(

Love So Life - the main chara is so, so pure in this one. The whole thing is just so *tugging at your heartstrings*

Taiyou no Ie - I liked this one a lot too

Suki-tte Ii na yo (Say I Love You) - Yeah, this was good.

Vampire Knight - ok, yeah, haha, this was like a guilty pleasure. good stuff. maybe not a fave fave, but fun.

Orange - tbh this was small kine depressing, but it was good and it has a happy ending

Ookami Heika no Hanayome - omg this is still ongoing, too.

Fruits Basket - of course. who doesn't love this one?

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge (Perfect Girl Evolution) - I think I bought all the manga books for this when I was in high school or something

Ouran High School Host Club - by far one of the funniest mangas I've ever read

Mongol800 Lyrics - Aru ga Mama / Just the Way It Is

Just the Way It Is - MV

A song from camp that I figured I could do a quick rendition of. Remembering how to use the text editors was a fun challenge too :) BONUS romaji included after translation! Not formatted well because. well. I gave up on making it not ugly due to challenges with the text editors :) :) :)

The sky I saw in a dream The clouds that floated through my dreams Now, close your eyes And take in the scent of the wind

Just the way it is

The sky I saw in a dream The clouds that floated through my dreams Now, close your eyes And take in the scent of the wind

The road the wind blows down The road that we wished for In the shining center of the wind Thinking back on the miracle of you

Just a little more than yesterday will be fine Just a little is all right That’s why I take pride Spreading above us is the blue of the sky We live unaware Of the kindness that surrounds

Blown by the wind Beaten by the rain That night I realized I was fine just the way it is The moon for my pillow The song of the sun Wrapping me up gently The azure of the sea

Just the way it is

Even if you put on makeup Even if you grow taller There’s a self that doesn’t change When you look in the mirror

How long will it continue? This endless journey These unanswered questions Sometimes we lose our way We worry, make mistakes

Blown by the wind Beaten by the rain That night I realized I was fine just the way it is The moon for my pillow The song of the sun Wrapping me up gently The azure of the sea

Just the way it is

While this hand still moves While this eye still opens Leave time to the winds And live in this precious moment

Just the way it is
