If you liked Mahoraba add

...then you might like Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou add

Both feature a guy moving into a boarding house full of eccentric characters and falling for one of the girls. Romance is light and charming, sprinkled with comedy, very little angst, and almost no drama. The stories mostly revolve around the residents’ daily lives and small personal conflicts. These two are perfect if you’re looking for a romance manga that actually shows relationships growing.

If you liked Prison School add

...then you might like Grand Blue add

Grand Blue is what happens when Prison School gets a haircut and a bath: same insane comedic energy, just slightly less explicit. Both rely on exaggerated expressions, overblown reactions, and dialogue that’s somehow funny even when it’s ridiculous. While their stories and settings couldn’t be more different, both excel at showing male friendship and occasional romantic moments. The art is clean, well-proportioned, and detailed, complementing the humor perfectly. Perfect picks for comedy manga fans.

If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like Giganto Makhia add

Shingeki no Kyojin and Giganto Machia throw humanity into a world where survival against monstrous titans and godlike forces is basically mandatory. Both borrow from Western mythology—SnK leans on Norwegian legends, while Giganto Machia dips into Greek myths. Storylines aside, the main characters share a conveniently hidden power that seems tailor-made to keep the plot moving. If you survived one without rolling your eyes, the other is worth enduring too.

If you liked Bonnouji add

...then you might like Horimiya add

Bonnouji and Horimiya are basically your “lighthearted romance with actual progression” checklist. Both take a refreshing approach of exploring relationships beyond the love confession without drowning in unnecessary angst. Bonnouji sticks to a young adult couple, while Horimiya leans on high school drama and side characters’ romances. Still, both go through the same phases: meeting, friendship, feelings, and eventually coupledom—heartwarming, if slightly inevitable.

If you liked Game Over add

...then you might like Futari no Renai Shoka add

Looking for a short romance that doesn’t drown in drama or waste time with endless hesitation? These two carefree series deliver exactly that: a young man, an older woman, and a surprisingly smooth path to… well, falling in love. Watch as they awkwardly inch closer, eventually realizing that a decade or two of age difference barely matters when it comes to feelings.

If you liked Onnanoko ga Shinu Hanashi add

...then you might like Tokidoki add

Tokodoki and Onnanoko ga Shinu Hanashi manga tell the story of a young girl confronted with a terminal illness. The former is lighthearted and simple, with a twist ending, while the latter explores the wider emotional impact on friends and family. Both offer unique perspectives on the subject, making them strong recommendations for readers interested in manga that examine life, loss, and relationships.

If you liked Oyasumi Punpun add

...then you might like Aku no Hana add

The two follow ordinary kids who quickly realize that growing up is mostly disappointment. These stories thrive on misery—suicidal thoughts, sexual violence, abusive relationships, divorce, and alienation—with a surreal twist that only makes the hopelessness sting more. If one drags you down in a way you secretly enjoy, the other will too.

If you liked Umi no Misaki add

...then you might like Hare-Kon. add

Both Umi no Misaki and Hare-Kon belong in the rare breed of harem manga where the main guy actually follows through with the concept. No endless pining, no favoritism—just one roof, multiple girls, and a protagonist who’s unashamedly in over his head. If that sounds like your idea of fun, you’ve already found your next reads.

If you liked Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

...then you might like Ore ga Doutei wo Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite add

Ore ga Doutei and Erased both hinge on that classic “sent back in time for no reason” premise. Same old plot beats: prevent disaster, save a girl, tinker with the future, defy destiny. The similarities are obvious, but if you like a time travel story sprinkled with melodrama and tension, these two deliver it without much subtlety.
