Hello everyone. For a long time i’ve been reading only manga with a dark and serious atmosphere like Dorohedoro, Ajin or Ganzt. Somehow I need a break to see some light. So i hope you guys can give me some good romance manga recommendations.
I would appreciate any recommendations but I would prefer one where the characters feel real, no the imaginary or stereotypical prefect “woman or man”.
Thanks in advance.
the full time wife escapist if you want something that’s more about realistic characters while also challenging the patriarchal dominance that so many Japanese romcoms fall into though (mild spoiler, I don’t know how to use the spoiler tag) the ending is a bit unsatisfying on that front. It cheapens it a bit but not enough to ruin what is ultimately a great and often overlooked series
Also the translation of the title is garbage. The translation of the manga is good but I have no idea why they settled on such a shit title. They also made it a tv drama and translated the title of that to “we married as job”, which fits better, but still isn’t great. The literal translation of the title is “running away is shameful, but useful” which I think ultimately reflects the work best.
It’s great to read if you’ve felt aimless and disillusioned in your early adulthood (like late twentys/early thirties) as well
