straightie hidden gems!!!only pretty artstyles and best finds

This list features stories from a wide variety of genres. There are plenty of hidden gems scattered throughout, so you’re bound to find a few that catch your eye no matter your tastes!!

BUTT, the standout factor for any manga I add to this list
is strong, well-written characters. Surface-level romance or flat side characters are an instant turn-off for me. I want stories that show genuine care in their writing. Where every character, even the secondary ones, feels thoughtfully developed.

ENJOY

And yes, the FL meets him when she’s still a minor, but he never crosses any lines. he doesn’t show romantic interest until she’s grown, and even then, it’s a slow, respectful build. You can literally see it in his eyes the almost precise moment he starts falling. the slow burn is SO FUCKING GOOD. i can’t move on. i can’t. they will forever be my roman empire. sang zhi be protecting him like her life depends on it and i love it. she is his protector.

Iseop's Romance

Let me just say, their sexual tension is ELITE. It’s honestly wild how this manhwa is censored, yet still feels more intimate and sexy than most uncensored series. I’ve been blue-balled more times than I can count, and somehow I’m not even mad. I keep coming back because it’s that good.
The FL is an adorable office siren. independent, confident, and never a damsel in distress. And the ML is pure loser-core in the best possible way. He’ll give you butterflies

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

Please feel free to ask questions about any of the manga on this list!!!! seriously, I would love it! I’m a massive ranter at heart, and there’s just never enough room in the review section to say everything I want to say. Cutting my thoughts down to a few lines is honestly PAINFUL sometimes, because I have so much bursting love for these stories and characters, and I always want to scream about them in full detail. If there’s a series you’re curious about, something in a review that stood out to you, or even if you just want to chat about a story we both love. I would be absolutely overjoyed to talk.
