Guys I’m tired of reading mangas where they don’t have any contact till like the last few chapter and I’m not talking abt they confess and start dating after 2 chapters like I need a good build up and where the fl isn’t a submissive prick that doesn’t jump after hand holding or an anime like GWACOD wasn’t bad or Love that’s an understatement. Can someone please give me so good recs

A darker manga where the mc and his gf commit suicide, you later find out that the person who died wasn't the main lead but someone identical to him.

The actual mc was sexually abused as a child.

When he gets married he starts to cheat on his sweet with a girl who provides him drugs, she lives with her disabled father but the house burns down horrifically.

In the mental hospital he meets a man identical to him.

That's the man who dies in the beginning.

Many more insane things happen in this story

But for the life of me I can't remember what it was called.

Any ideas?

read some chapter a while back. at least a few years ago.

story goes: the MC is exiled/fired and told to get lost in the forest. said forest has been cursed or something, basically it's an evil forest now. MC starts living there somehow and find that he has the ability to cleanse the forest. He is later joined by some divine animal and starts protecting the forest from pretty much the whole world of idiots. Little by little he expand his territory, that is to say he cleanses more and more of the forest and eventually creates afull on barrier.

apart from some country's greed and evil plots toward the forest, there isn't much happening in that manga. MC just cares a lot about the forest and its inhabitant. that's as mcuh as I've read and I don't remember the title.

setting in highschool, mc entered the school to get teased by someone I believe his junior. she keep teasing him until he get to clubroom where she change 180° because she is an introvert mess. she litterally hide behind mc when greeting other club member. sorry if this too vague thanks in advance

Title. Found this on fb, but OP didn't bother posting the source.

I recently bought some vagabond definitive edition volumes, but they dont fill the shelf, so, I placed some heavy objects near them to act as book ends and I was just wondering, how tight is too tight when it comes to book storage? For reference I can fit a notecard or two between individual volumes & take them out pretty comfortably

I be seeing YouTubers always having headphones on while reading I usually keep it silent in my room but just wondering if anyone does this and what y’all listen to

I'm a somewhat casual manga reader; Honestly, I'm the typical guy who sometimes only reads shonen. The thing is, I'm looking for something new to read. I read My Hero Academia: Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen while they were being published, but they've finished now. Currently, I'm reading Yomi no Tsugai and Dan da Dan, but the story of Dan da Dan has disappointed me a bit. Yomi no Tsugai is monthly. So yeah, not enough manga for me. Well, I'm looking for a manga that's currently being published, preferably a fighting manga. I'm looking for something with an entertaining story, but nothing way too edgy, serious or reflective, just a manga I can read once a week and talk about with my friends.

For now consider witch hat atelier or gachiakuta (although well gachiakuta I'm not sure because of things I heard from the fandom

Basically with the main character with multiple crushes on him but not to sexual

I’ve been looking for this manga for a few days now. I remember reading it a few years ago on some random website by chance, and it’s turned into a kinda morbid curiosity to find it again. All I have is the one image I’m pretty sure I ripped off this subreddit a while back (image in comments). My vague memory of the plot is that somebody kidnapped somebody over love, but I don’t remember anything else. I know it may be strange, but my mind has a weird habit of remembering things that don’t matter and tormenting me until I find them again. Any advice helps so I can stop thinking about it!

I'm looking for a manga where the MC becomes a dragon slayer(I don't remember him explicitly going out of his way hunting them, I know he killed one, and due to his own powers as well, was able to get the dragons powers). Ok so to give all I can remember of the story, The boy was I believe a commoner or something in some fishing village, and he eventually went to this magic/swordsman academy(standard fantasy stuff), but the only reason he did this was mainly because of a girl that he liked(they ended up dating I believe before they left). Now fast forward, I believe into his second year at the school(don't quote me on that), he and the girl broke up because their was a rumor that he was cheating on her, and he became a social outcast at the school(he didn't actually cheat, it was a mutual guy friend of theirs who was jealous, and used his ability to I think shapeshift to look like him, and to make it seem like he was cheating on her, so that they could break up, and he could swoop in and date her). Also, the boy trains in swordsmanship(mostly by himself in the woods, and with a lone master who lives in the dangerous woods). Eventually they ended up seeing a dragon in the open fields of the forest. Dragons in this story I think are rare, and are the strongest or one of the strongest creatures as well). So both him and his master attempt to stop the dragon but it becomes futile, and the master tries to sacrifice herself to save the boy, using up a lot of her magic power. the boy(who does have huge potential, but due to low self worth, and plot was kind of restricted from utilizing much less realizing it himself), charged at the monster to help save his master, and in the end the very world restricted the the dragons power by closing it in to a section of just the forest(the dragon was so powerful that the world had to in a way magically restrict it) and the boy, who awakened his hidden potential along with some last minute help from his master(as well as with plot), was able to kill the dragon. After he killed the dragon he ended up absorbing the dragons powers, and we briefly learn that people who ended up facing and even killing dragons in this world in similar circumstance's(that being the world restricting them to some extent) can end up getting their powers and become dragon slayers(just a title for people who get's the dragons powers after killing them. That's all I remember from the manga as I didn't finish it and only remember reading slightly more past this but not enough to remember anything.

Helloo! I'm looking for romance manga recommendations, but I'm pretty picky about certain tropes and character dynamics. I have a few things I do and don't want to see, so I'd really appreciate any recommendations that fit my preferences!

Things I'm looking for (and want to avoid):

• An MC who actually has a brain. I want an MC who can think for herself, make reasonable decisions, and isn't completely clueless.
• A believable reason for choosing the ML. Especially if there are multiple love interests, I want to understand why the MC chooses one person over the others instead of it feeling forced.
• No non-consensual intimacy. I don't want forced kisses, being pushed against walls, unwanted touching, or anything similar.
• Little to no misunderstanding tropes. I don't mind small misunderstandings, but I don't want the entire plot to revolve around problems that could be solved with one conversation.
• Characters who understand and respect boundaries. I don't want an ML who constantly crosses boundaries, or an MC who can't communicate her discomfort and call him out when necessary.
• No overly possessive or controlling MLs. For example, I don't want an ML who drags the MC away while she's talking to someone just because he's jealous.
• Healthy communication. I want characters who can actually talk about their feelings and problems instead of avoiding them.
• An established relationship. I'd prefer a story that doesn't end as soon as the couple gets together. I want to see how their relationship develops after they start dating!
• An ML who can express his feelings. I don't mind quiet or nonchalant MLs, but I don't want them to act indifferent during important moments or constantly brush things off.
• No childlike MCs. I'd prefer characters who don't look or behave like little kids.
• No weird alpha-male behaviour. I really don't like MLs who act like "grr, she's mine, nobody else can have her" YK?? 😭

Extra preferences:

I'd prefer something fluffy and wholesome! If a recommendation contains smut or mature content, please let me know beforehand.

I know this is a pretty specific list, and I don't expect every recommendation to fit absolutely everything, but I'd love something that matches most of these preferences!

Also, I’m not judging anyone who enjoys the tropes I’ve mentioned! These are simply my personal preferences and boundaries when it comes to romance stories.

Thank you so much to anyone who has recommendations!! 💗

Nowadays it's hard for me to commit to longer manga which have 100-200 chapters

I read goodbye eri last night it was nice
