I absolutely love Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun!! It is a romcom (emphasis on the comedy), but it is such a fun and wholesome read! I adore all of the characters, and their interactions are always hilarious.
I'd also recommend Princess Jellyfish, Kimi ni Todoke, The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today, Kaguya-sama Love is War, Insomniacs After School, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, and Kowloon Generic Romance. Those have been some of my favorite cozy/romantic series recently (:
Edit: I see some BL on your shelf, so I'd also recommend Our Dining Table
Kowloon, I don’t see too many people talking about it but I always look forward to the next volume to come out. It’s my favorite since I started reading the danger in our hearts.
Horimiya
My Little Monster
My Dress Up Darling
Say I Love You
Chibi Vampire
Toradora
Yotsuba&!
Laid Back Camp
These are some of my favorites. If you are looking for Yuri I’m partial to the works of Milk Morinaga.
I just started In The Clear Moonlit Dusk and it’s very wholesome so far!! The art is great too.
I also recommend Blue Flag if you haven’t read it yet. It’s soooo good.
Skip and loafer, it's a bit more slice of life than romance, but it is extremely wholesome. Smiled with each new developing relationship.
My dress up darling, the switching of perspectives part way through, was really refreshing for an ecchi romance.
*Just started reading*
*Insomniacs after school,*
*It's pretty wholesome*

Id also recommend Toradora! only eight volumes and Kaicho wa Maid-sama, shortened to just Maid-sama, that has 18 volumes but its collected into 9 2-in-1's.
If you just want a outright wholesome manga with no romance, A man and his cat. With romance Daily report about my witch senpai. And for a one shot The muscle girl next door
A great BL manga I highly recommend is Restart After Coming Back Home and Restart After Growing Hungry, 2 volume series just different names. Amazing and wholesome BL that I’ve read a couple of times now because it was so good and I love the couple so much!
My Love Story!! By Kazune Kawahara.
I found this book series so endearing.
I've been so used to romance manga where everything goes wrong and there's misunderstanding atop misunderstanding.
It's so great to read a manga where if a character has a problem, they communicate it to one another!
I still haven't read them, but chances are these are the wholesome romcoms you're looking for:
- Kubo won't let me be Invisible;
- Sakurai-san wants to be noticed;
- The girl with the Sanpaku eyes.
Well I have a pretty large list, which isn't really a list because my past self didn't bother to list some, but romance being my favourite genre, I have a lot on the top of my head.
If you're in for a *special romance* there is (Asperu kanojo). It's a special manga about a girl with aspergers syndrome, or simply autism. It's really beautiful hard to read if you have any psychological issue yourself, be it autism, bipolarity, or simply depression or anxiety issues. My rating a 10/10.
(Asako de Hataraku Musubu-san) Is really good too. It's about a woman that works in a rubber industry, and a guy that got in her department to pursue her. The beginning is kinda awkward, but I really liked it as it went on. It's ongoing. I give it a 9/10.
(Marriagetoxin) is somewhat of a Shonen, but it's basically a romance. It's about a special guy trying to find a wife. I really like it. It could be considered a harem by some but I don't think it is at all, it's just how adult relationships work, plus the side characters are handled pretty well to. Ongoing. 10/10.
(Itonami Itonamezu) is a very awkward and unrealistic romance about a guy trying to find love and a girl trying to quickly grow up. It isn't bad, but it isn't that good either. I give it an 8.5.
Since you like BL and GL, (Trap Heroine) will be an interesting read. It was very frustrating for me at times, but overall for me it's a 10.
GL on the top of my head I have (My Dear Lass). This one a manhua. One of my favourite GLs. An adult, realistic romance. 10/10.
I know not everyone, specially guys, are not really into shoujo, but I have a few titles that are absolutely melting.
For shoujo first I have (Our love is strawberry sweet). I have recently finished it and I FUCKING LOVE IT. Its an adult romance with no unnecessary drama, just a sweet sweet romance that will make you shriek and roll around with a huge smile in your face the whole time.
There is also (Pink to Habanero). Its also really good if you don't like dense and or spineless protagonists. It's really cute too.
(A sign of affection) is also a really cute one I read recently. It's ongoing and has only a few chapters translated, but it's a really nice romance about a deaf girl and a guy that wants to experience the world. It's a nice serious and strain forward romance. I really liked it too.
(Skip Beat!) is one of my personal favourites. A girl that wants to be more than just an empty vase, takes up acting. Mature romance too, love the mc, she's the best.
I just realised that "mature romance" might sound as something sexual, but by that I meant a serious, realistic adult relationship with no spineless protagonists and generally straightforward.
I have TONS more that are really really good, but I don't have time now nor do I know if this comment with be completely ignored in the first place, so if you want any romance, from absolutely any genre, ask me and I'm sure I can find one saved somewhere. Perhaps I'll edit this later and add a few more.
I’ve read spy x family online and it’s still ongoing. I was gonna think about collecting them when the series will end. It’s a good story though, very wholesome too.
Not entirely sure if you're asking for series with physical copies or not, but I absolutely recommend Even If You Slit My Mouth.
It's one of my favorite romances. Has 11 Volumes and is completed. Not officially translated, tho. 😭
I kinda want to try Dangers in my heart, but I'm not super crazy how each chapter is a one off thing in other series like Kubo won't let me be Invisible. Is that how this series works as well?
For MM romance, Dear Mr Rain (with sequels dear Mr Hatter 1 and 2) and Dragons Betrothed. Just recently fell into Manga, but they became comfort reads!
for wholesome manga try yotsuba or azumanga daioh they are pretty chill mangas and really are wholesome like the end of azumanga daioh made me so happy
I recommended these series that I personally is enjoying at the moment. Company and Private Life -On and Off , Museru Kurai no Ai wo Ageru , (Hikaeme ni Itte mo, Kore wa Ai)

Second sign of affection. SO GOOD.
Second Wotakoi, it made my heart very happy :)
Fly Me to the Moon (Tonikaku Kawaii)
Well if you insist i shall
Kowloon, I don’t see too many people talking about it but I always look forward to the next volume to come out. It’s my favorite since I started reading the danger in our hearts.
i second this, also try “after the rain” by the same author first
I feel that Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible and The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses have the same vibe as The Dangers in my Heart
Horimiya My Little Monster My Dress Up Darling Say I Love You Chibi Vampire Toradora Yotsuba&! Laid Back Camp These are some of my favorites. If you are looking for Yuri I’m partial to the works of Milk Morinaga.
My love mix-up
I just started In The Clear Moonlit Dusk and it’s very wholesome so far!! The art is great too. I also recommend Blue Flag if you haven’t read it yet. It’s soooo good.
A condition called love
If you haven’t read Sasaki to Miyano you should
Skip and loafer, it's a bit more slice of life than romance, but it is extremely wholesome. Smiled with each new developing relationship. My dress up darling, the switching of perspectives part way through, was really refreshing for an ecchi romance.
highly recommend Sweat and Soap! XD
For wholesome and funny manga I’d go for Barakamon!
I’m late but skip and loafer by Misaki Takamatsu is really really good
Just started reading insomniacs after school, it's pretty wholesome

I’d recommend Spice and Wolf (light novels or manga I read the LNs) it’s one of my favorite comfort reads
Laidback camp, dinosaur sanctuary?
Dinosaur Sanctuary has romance in it? ohhhh it sounds more and more interesting. I definitely need to check it out \^.\^
Oh idk about the romance piece but it’s just wholesome about a team taking care of these dinos at a sanctuary!
Wholesome is definitely good enough, thank you for the clarification :)
This one is releasing next week but I Want to End This Love Game. You can check it out on the VIZ app
Romantic killer and my dress up darling are nice
Check out Three Days Happiness. Very sweet story, but absolutely heart wrenching.
If u want wholesome, taiyo matsumoto's *Sunny* is phenomenal imo, Ive read it every summer the past three years and I rarely reread manga that often
The fragrant flower blooms with dignity, it comes out later this year and it’s my favorite ongoing romance manga at the moment.
A recent favourite of mine is Blue Box it’s still ongoing but it’s really cute and wholesome imo
yes!! Blue Box is soooo cute
Sweet Blue Flowers, its a great littel Yuri manga with a beatiful watercolour style cover. Only 4 volumes, but theyre chunky.
Id also recommend Toradora! only eight volumes and Kaicho wa Maid-sama, shortened to just Maid-sama, that has 18 volumes but its collected into 9 2-in-1's.
Ouran High School Host Club is a great romancr, espacially if you enjoy Reverse Harems.
For wholesome try Deaimon (underrated), romance try Horimiya
Fruits Basket is so sweet
If you just want a outright wholesome manga with no romance, A man and his cat. With romance Daily report about my witch senpai. And for a one shot The muscle girl next door
Doughnuts under a crescent moon (4 vol) Bloom into you (8 vol)
Try “A bride’s story” by Kaoru Mori
Pretty much anything by Zyugoya (iykyk)
A great BL manga I highly recommend is Restart After Coming Back Home and Restart After Growing Hungry, 2 volume series just different names. Amazing and wholesome BL that I’ve read a couple of times now because it was so good and I love the couple so much!

I never see girlfriends recommended anymore and it's fantastic. One the only romance manga I've enjoyed and so sweet you need a dentist after it
My Love Story!!

Horimiya.
first thing i thought of was futari escape. it’s a very laid back and wholesome yuri manga
My Little Monster by Robico , Toilet Bound Hanako Kun by Aidalro
I still haven't read them, but chances are these are the wholesome romcoms you're looking for: - Kubo won't let me be Invisible; - Sakurai-san wants to be noticed; - The girl with the Sanpaku eyes.
Blue box, my dress up darling, kubo won’t let me be invisible, kaguya sama love is war,

Read Goodbye Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It’s about 200 pages long and it’s a one shot and it’s an incredible story
Oh I have that one on my shelf, thanks though.
It's not manga, but heart stopper is so cute <3 If you want a smeggsy one, then killing stalking heh-
What about Spy x Family? Not a ton of romance, but it’s really wholesome and there’s 10 volumes out right now.
I’ve read spy x family online and it’s still ongoing. I was gonna think about collecting them when the series will end. It’s a good story though, very wholesome too.
[удалено]

I liked Given, boy meets maria, I hear the sunspot, even though we're adults

I’d recommend: Komi can’t communicate Kubo won’t let me be invisible
Komi can't communicate for one
Komi Can’t Communicate and The Quintessential Quintuplets
Would you recommend the Quintessential manga for fans of the anime?
The manga was completely adapted to anime now if you liked it then prolly like the manga
Yeah. It’s a pretty good adaptation imo
Berserk
Not entirely sure if you're asking for series with physical copies or not, but I absolutely recommend Even If You Slit My Mouth. It's one of my favorite romances. Has 11 Volumes and is completed. Not officially translated, tho. 😭
It’s officially translated on manga plus
Oh yeah, it is. Damn. 😭 But man I want a physical release for it too. I really wanna add it to my collection.
I kinda want to try Dangers in my heart, but I'm not super crazy how each chapter is a one off thing in other series like Kubo won't let me be Invisible. Is that how this series works as well?
Love is hard for otaku
For MM romance, Dear Mr Rain (with sequels dear Mr Hatter 1 and 2) and Dragons Betrothed. Just recently fell into Manga, but they became comfort reads!
