Manga about a working adult and a college student and one is starting to realize they have dementia? I forgot if I read it here

Bought it! Sad to see another one of my favorite series get threatened with axe again, but hoping it works out this time, this manga is so cute

^haven't read run away with me so I don't know how heavy the drama is, but
maybe
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/a_timid_woman_longing_for_her_delivery_girl

Thank you, I have read this one before but it was nice to reread.

Two of my top 10:

• Even Though We're Adults (might be the most familiar to Run Away with Me Girl but is very real and fantastic). The official release is up to volume 8 of 10. There's 50 chapters, so only 10 left for the official translation.
• A Joyful Life (the title might as well be a joke but it's a lovely, meaningful, slow burn story and ends how you'd want it to. Really cool experience with humor sprinkled around but deals with some heavy, realistic stuff.)

A couple more (there's more if you want):

• The Glass
• Club Amour
• Would you, Could you?
• Ohana Holoholo
• Goodbye My Rose Garden
• Us Right Now (Webtoon)
• Opium
• Octave
• What Does the Fox Say?
• Let me give love to you, I will give a flower to you (and the sequel: The Appeal of Marriage)
• I Want to Quit Being a Hitman

Ooh, ive actually never heard of some of these but I skimmed a couple and it’s definitely in line with what I’m looking for, thank you. I’ll take as many refs as you got.

Of all the compensated yuri stories to come out recently, this one’s started out pretty well. I like how chill they are when they interact. Sendai seems cool.

Anyone know any stories, series or oneshot, that has heavy drama but ends on a good note?
Similar to run away with me, girl.

Man I love when other artists do congratulation drawings at the end, it’s always so cute

I actually find this story refreshing in a lot of ways. I'm so used to seeing "prince" type characters who feel burdened by their persona or create a faux masculinity out of social obligation that it's really nice to see a "prince" character who genuinely feels comfortable and happy with her own masculinity. She actually feels butch, even if it's a butch identity filtered through the prince archetype lol.

I also really liked how they dealt with the whole rival/touchiness situation. The typical manga solution to this is usually framed as though it's Haruka's fault for not being assertive enough and the solution is she acts more assertive, but here not only does Rena deal with the issue herself, but Haruka's percieved passiveness is actually because she respects Rena's boundaries. Both of these little twists serve to give Rena a lot more agency that I've come to expect from this type of shoujo love triangle maiden role, and in framing the "solution" to the issue to be that Haruka should just ask before touching her, it resolves the jealousy and insecurity that Haruka was feeling while also reiterating Rena's agency. Her feelings of "I don't always wanna be touched by people" is maintained as a legitimate boundary she set up, which is exceedingly rare for romance manga to this day.

I could write more but I'm curious what other people thought. I think the story has more depth than some are giving it credit for.

Agreed I liked this one a lot. I was actually surprised people found this one so generic. It’s a typical plot but changes up the archetype tropes with characters. I liked how the childhood crush character also was framed as not just willfully oblivious to the other prince’s advances and directly calls her out on it, pretty refreshing. I really like how she communicates what she wants and tells the mc she doesn’t want to be touched and that the mc actually respects that and is rewarded for that at the end bcuz it really seemed like it was going to go the route of you just need to be pushy and then your love will be reciprocated, so that was nice. I’ve also rarely ever seen a manga just talk about people’s boundaries not specifically in the context of romance, like just not wanting to be touched whenever. Rena is a pretty proactive character compared to a typical love interest which was nice to see. It’s small changes to how characters react, but it does make them feel a little less like plot beats

Rec’s with a specific dynamic?

I made the mistake of starting lily of the valley and need to wash my brain out after ch 4. Anyone know anything oneshot or series with the same character dynamics, a strait laced and attentive character with a naive and innocent character?

Is there any way to recover a deleted list? I mis licked and deleted the wrong one on accident.

After re-reading it and looking at the hand moves and the dialogues, I think there's more than meet the eye here. It's not only a cheating story.

What I understand is that it's a tug war between the sister and the girlfriend. The girlfriend is dating the brother so that the sister "gives up" on her brocon (page 4).

So yeah, it's toxic, but it looks like the girlfriend was waiting for the sister to come home and uses the brother to show her that her bro doesn't care about her so that she moves on from her brocon.

And the sister wants her bro to dump her, both because she thinks the gf is "trash" (and she loves her bro) and because she wants her for herself.

Beautiful.

I second this. Sister seems like an actual brocon but since having a thing with girlfriend is growing actual hate/love feelings for her, thus angrily climbing on top of her, but still does it under the pretense of it all being about the bro. Girlfriend seems like she’s somewhat aware of this and teases her both cuz it was initially true and half to keep up the pretense. Girlfriend also seems like she wants the sister, since she told her to give up on him and initiated holding hands (plus the hand on the thigh). So both seem to kind of want each other, but are in denial and will never admit that out of pure spite and vitriol and instead use brother as a way to continue their relationship. In other words, it’s complicated.

I’m pretty happy with the official version and I like what it’s added to the characters, older version was good for what it was but i wouldn’t say I prefer it over the newer one

Just bought, hope to see this one to the end, such a good story so far

Chapter 58: bro this chapter got me pissed off. I already hated this fucking character but this was hard to get through. And why does the best character gotta suffer so much emotional damage. The worst part is I feel like evil black hair girl is just gonna start spewing crap again and get away with it. Here’s hoping Nene or Sumika won’t stand for it and will stand up to her but who knows.
if anyone’s got spoilers on the next chapters, please tell me Sumika gets a good ending

Manga oneshot I think I might’ve seen it on mangdex but I don’t remember. Two girls childhood friends, one was really shy and scared of boys and the other one was protective of her when they were young, but then during highschool the protective one became too overbearing and the other one pretended she had a boyfriend by carrying around a condom to prove to her friend that she was growing up and to see her differently. They both cry and make up at the end.

I don't see any realistic chance of Nene and Sumika ending up together after everything that happened, unfortunately. It's to be expected that Kanoko will start to have feelings for her at some point during their fake relationship, although her current self is far from deserving someone like Sumika.

My response:
I've felt it for a bit and especially after this chapter.
It's possible someone is trying to rekindle Sumika and Nene's relationship through Kanoko. Nene is basically being made to go through the same thing she put Sumika through. It's possible this parallel is intentionally meant to force Nene's hand in the same way Nene thought her trist with Youko would force Sumika's hand in the past.

I never thought about that. I’m hoping that’s true though, I dread having Sumika get burned a second time when she’s one of the best characters. It’s only slightly better and will still probably end up messy, since Kanoko doesn’t genuinly seem to care about how Sumika feels and is just doing whatever this mystery person wants, but at least the aim would be to help her this time instead of just making her jealous and forcing her feelings out. I initially thought it’s youko trying to pull the same thing again and it does seem like the stories bringing her back to stir things up again. But it could be the manager since she seemed to want them to talk in the last chapter and the mystery person wanted Kanoko to make Sumika happy somehow

I don't know if it meets your expectations but not long ago, I made this list.

Looks good! I will be checking out the titles I don't recognize in your list. There's a lot I read, but also quite a few I don't seem to have read. =) Thanks a bunch!

I second Her Tale of ShimCheong

There’s also a series called dali with this premise which is very wholesome

tysm for the recs! i bookmarked them all. By series, do you mean a manga series? or?

Sorry, I meant dallae it’s a Korean manhwa

Another good one I just remembered would be silver gymnasium
For the main couple

Any wlw with reunited trope? like they will meet again when they're adults/in college? thankyou!

A lot of these show mostly them younger and then meet up near the end:
Tender Night
Water Depth
I don’t care about the music
Once Again with You

This series is pretty good and focuses more on adult life after meeting up but it is not a light read if you wanted more fluff:
Run Away With me, girl

There’s also a series called dali with this premise which is very wholesome

Any good ex stories, the tag only has a couple that aren’t series

Just realized Xingyuan has a little planet tattoo on the back of her neck that sorta matches the other girls fingernails

One shot that starts off with the day after one girl confesses, the girl who confessed is usually stoic but with the mc she showed cute facial expressions and received lots of confessions. The mc doesn’t know how to respond but likes her cute expressions. Ends with mc getting confessed to and they eventually talk about it

^def should go check it out, action scenes and plot are actually pretty sick and the character chemistry is off the charts
