Recs about acceptance, opening up, found family/connection

Time and time again, I feel like reading Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion!
I wasnt quite sure what itch it was scratching.. but then I thought about it. What exactly is it about this story that i resonate with?
I realised it probably is because of the themes
Its about
Acceptance
Embracing oneself
Loneliness
Found family
Grief/loss
Community
Joy
Connection
Vulnerability
Opening up
Safety
Being brace and overcoming fear


Things that really hit my where it hurts :,)
I come back to it because it’s healing to read.

Anybody have similar recommendations with these themes?

if anyone knows A Spell for a Smith that is a webtoon that really is quite similar i feel the same whole-ness when reading it.
And The Savior's Book Café in Another World is another that is quite similar.

But please, i hope this goes without saying but:
No harem,
No flat 2D characters with no substance

Basically the vibes and plot of “a spell for a smith” & “hello im a witch and my crush asked me to make a love potion” rehashed. But nothing too sad and tragic pls. I want a happy ending! (/TДT)


Many thanks ! (●'◡'●)ノ
