(All these are my faves, highly recommended!!)

(If you have similar mangas, please do recommend!) My preference: Good art, depth of character, light or meaningful story and relationships, slice of life, coming of age, romance, and that thing called jealousy and defeat, lol. A ton of heartbreak as well of course!

*For the snippets, I chose the starting point of the protagonist’s character. After that, there’ll be nothing but development. It’s incredible!
