My Dress-Up Darling made me fall into a rabbit hole, and I'm curious what I'm missing out on now.
I just finished Domestic Na Kanojo and I need something not so goddamn depressing to read next... although I still welcome something similar.

I don't mind what demographic it falls under, or if it's NSFW, as long as the story is good and there's actual development along the way.
ANIME ADAPTATION IS NOT NECESSARY

Here's a light compendium of what I've read/finished so far, looking for more in the same genre/ballpark.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and input!


- Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro
- Komi Can't Communicate
- My Dress Up Darling
- Rent-a-Girlfriend
- Domestic Girlfriend (wtf)

Bleach

Good start!

a sign of affection
sweat and soap
perfect world
love is hard for otaku
please take care of me in this life as well
midnight poppyland
elixir of the sun

damn you really picked some bottom of the barrel stuff when starting out. at least now when you read something thats actually good you'll be surprised
if you liked nagatoro you should try Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
another good manga like this is Quintessential Quintuplets
if you however want to stay with trashy stuff then Kanojo mo Kanojo might be more to your tastes

Haha, this is rude.

no i dont mean it like that. trashy doesnt have to be bad. but its simple humor like haha hes stupid, haha he got a boner, haha he fell.
i like a trashy anime every once in a while. kanojo mo kanojo is actually really funny. or aho girl, love that shit.

Anything is on the table really, so long as it falls under the romance category and there's legitimate development over any amount of time.

After reading domestic girlfriend though I kinda need a pick-me-up. Shouldn't have binged that..

Thanks, I'll check some of these out

I'll check those out for sure

I did enjoy all on my list, but domestic girlfriend made me ache a little; still good though imo. Good thing I started bottom of the barrel, only up from here!

I'm notorious for enjoying almost every anime/manga I consume though. I always wonder if the next will be better, or elicit the same feelings. I only just recently got into the romance genre so the low hanging fruit is ripe for the picking
