5 Romance Manga recommendations: Beginners Edition

Your Name 

Romance, especially romance manga has a way of capturing your heart body and soul, and with so much out there it can be hard to know where to start, especially if you've never read one or you have read too many. 

Romance manga can be simple and sweet, sour or savory, giving you cute and awe-inspiring stories to fill the void in your life or simply just to make you smile. Romance manga especially comes in many forms. 

From high-school, to fantasy romance is everywhere. And although it may not be the raunchiest compared to our Smut, Shoujo or Yaoi counterparts, there is still a little something for everybody. 

This list is a compilation filled with some of the best romance manga's I have read to date, hopefully it can be of use to you.       Taiyou no Ie (13 Volumes)    (53 Chapters)

Taiyou No Ie (House of the Sun) 

Genre: Romance, Slice of Life, Comedy, Drama

Warning: Age-Gap romance

Taiyou No Ie (House of the Sun) is a coming of age romance. 

The story follows our protagonist Mei who is suddenly faced with a difficult situation. When left with no alternative she is left with no other choice but to move in to her older childhood friends home. Along the way a budding romance begins to bud between the 2 childhood friends (Hiro & Mei).

This romance is quite extraordinary, it deals with abandonment, death and forgiveness, whilst still leaving room for the potential of new beginnings and romance to boot. it's sweet and simplistic romance between the to really is just like a ray of sunshine, bright warm and comforting. 

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso  (11 Volumes, 44 Chapters)

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (You Lie In April)

Genre: Drama, Romance, Slice of Life, Music 

You Lie in April follows the life of a young piano prodigy Kousei Arima who suddenly goes into shock at the death of his mother causing him to become tone deaf ultimately, halting his budding piano career. 2 years after the initial incident Kousei although still unable to perform, clings to music which eventually leads him to meet Kaori Miyazono, a free spirited pianist who slowly helps him get over his trauma and much more. 

You Lie in April is a story about trauma, love, friendship and music and is most certainly a must read I highly recommend it! 

This story whilst sweet will certainly make you shed a tear or two but it is absolutely worth it the chemistry between these two protagonists is truly heart warming to the eyes. 

Akagami No Shirayuki-Hime (25 Volumes, 132 Chapters)Akagami No Shirayuki-Hime (Snow White with the Red Hair)

Genre: Romance, Drama, Fantasy

Shirayuki our protagonist is a skilled and friendly herbalist known to her local people people in her native country of  Tanburin. However when placed in a uncompromising position to become the prince's concubine, it causes her to flee the country overnight. Through her escape she meets Zen Westalia a prince of the neighboring country of Clarines who is almost killed (by a poisonous red apple lol) due to Shirayuki's pursuers, despite the occurrence Shirayuki manages to save Zen and the two become unlikely friends. 

Together with Zen and his two friends Kiki and Mitsuhide they travel to Clarines as Shirayuki makes plans for a new life, where she aims to become a herbalist for the royal court, whilst juggling her budding feelings for the Prince of her new home Zen. 

This a modern day take on the story of Snow White, with all the roles reversed and sketched to make its own story. The budding romance between Shirayuki and Zen is nothing short of mature and sweet, just the simple interactions between the two leads makes it obvious that the two are madly in love with each other. Shirayuki is also a strong, level-headed protagonist who fights back in the face of danger, another MUST!

Ao Haru Ride (Vol 13, Chapters 53)

Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride)

Genre: Romance, Drama, Slice of Life

Among one of the most popular girls in middle school resulting in her ultimately being shunned by her other female classmates, Futaba Yoshika revamps herself in highschool as an indifferent and unfeminine female just to have "friends". 

However Futaba's life takes another turn at the sudden appearance of her first love Kou Mabuchi who had disappeared during their middle school days. Despite the long absence Futaba comes to the realisation of her feelings and confesses to Kou, who coldly declines leaving Futaba shocked by his changed and negative attitude. Although Kou himself admits that the feelings were once mutual he warns her that they can not go back to the past as everything has changed including himself. 

Ao Haru Ride is a bitter sweet love story, although at times cliché it still delivers in terms of romance, friendship and the necessary change needed in a to develop both protagonists in this high school love story.

Lovely Complex (Vol 17, Chapters 68)

Lovely Complex 

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Slice of Life

Lovely complex follows the chaotic lives of Risa Koizumi a taller than average girl and her on/off shorter than average male nemesis Atsushi Kotani as they join forces in order to pursue their love interests, unfortunately the plan does not go to plan as their crushes end up falling for each other, causing the two to form an unlikely bond that leads to friendship, rivalry and possibly love? 

Lovely complex is a cult classic known to many romance and shoujo fans, catering to both female and male readers with its romantic but funny comedic troupes. Staying true to it's name it focuses on the issues, that protagonists must face because of their heights and uncanny childish similarities often causing them to rely on one another for help and assistance during their time of need. This unique and funny love story will certainly make you blush for one reason or another.
