If you ever meet someone wailing about the lack of romance in the manga industry, then please redirect them to this list.
Because romance never dies, and we've got 10 great manga series that were released just in the last decade to prove that.
What makes the romance good? It's quite simple: it has to be surrounded by something else that will make the romance shine.
The surroundings can be anything, from an interesting setting to a captivating journey of self-growth and self-discovery, from being comedic to the point of mocking the tropes of the genre to being extremely relevant to modern pop culture. These things make romance alive and believable, ground it into reality, and capture the hearts of the readers.
Pure romance is bland, it doesn't have enough substance to keep the attention and interest of those who stumbled upon the story. So in this list, we combined the works that fit our success formula for romance: they can offer something besides it, and they do it well. Love is still a driving force here, but not the only thing that gets explored by the characters. But if you're gonna pull an all-nighter reading these, we're not sorry.
