hi everyone (⌒▽⌒)

i’m looking for manga (can be manhwa or manhua but manga is preferred) that have a romance between a girl who is headstrong, passionate, has important relationships outside her love interest x a boy who is not pushy, controlling, possessive, or obsessive?

also pls no isekai (regular fantasy is OK), smutfests (suggestive or sex scene every once in a while is OK), or significant age gaps (5 yrs or more)

bonus points if:

-girl first falls in love with boy, boy is initially nonchalant towards her > girl eventually mellows out and is casual in her crush towards him/maybe starts to fall out of love with him, meanwhile the boy falls embarrassingly head over heels in love with her very suddenly

-girl is like haruhi from ohshc (calm, rational, can stand up for herself, kind)

-they are adults (college aged or older)

-plot is not just abt their romance

-fantasy or has some fantastical elements (+bonus points if girl is a magic user or weapon user) (again, pls no isekais unless you truly highly recommend one!)
