by Mashiro
- Comedy (shared)
- Romance (shared)
Dumped by a boyfriend who left her for a girl he met in an online game, college student Akane Kinoshita is ready to quit that game for good. Before she logs off, she meets Yamada, a famously skilled player who turns out to be just the same in real life: handsome, aloof and interested in nothing but gaming. As the two keep running into each other, online and off, Akane finds herself drawn to someone whose attention seems permanently fixed on the screen. Yamada's guild friends, offline meet-ups and awkward misunderstandings fill their days, and Akane slowly realises that Yamada's bluntness hides more care than he lets on. Mashiro's romantic comedy is a warm story about moving on after heartbreak, friendships made through games, and the slow, awkward work of letting someone in. Its sharp humour and gamer details won a large following, and it was adapted into a popular anime.

Junta Shiraishi is so unremarkable that he goes unnoticed even by people standing right next to him. Teachers mark him absent while he sits in class, classmates bump into him without seeing him, and he has made peace with being a background character in everyone else's story. The one exception is Nagisa Kubo, the beautiful girl in the seat beside him. She always notices him, and she loves teasing him about it, from playful jokes to small surprises that leave him flustered. As the school year goes on, her attention pulls him out of the background and into friendships, events and feelings he never expected to have. Nene Yukimori's sweet comedy is a gentle story about the joy of being seen, filled with small, heart-warming moments. Not quite a romance yet, as it says itself, it is a lovely slow build that was adapted into an anime.

At his high school, everyone is afraid of Mio Haimiya, the upperclassman with sharp piercings, a striking grey wolf cut and a brutally honest Kansai dialect. Her reputation is downright terrifying, and most students give her a wide berth. Yet, for some mysterious reason, this intimidating senpai is kind and gentle with exactly one person: Ao Kurose, the boy narrating the story. As he gets to know her, he discovers the affection hidden inside her direct, often awkward manner, and that the girl everyone fears is far sweeter than anyone imagines. Kamiyama Sumu's series is a heart-fluttering romantic comedy about a terrifying-yet-sweet senpai, built on the gap between appearance and reality, with charming art and plenty of flustered moments. Each chapter peels back another layer of the senpai behind the scary reputation.

At Kaimei High School, the Sket Brigade will help with anything: lost property, love troubles, club disputes and the occasional absurd emergency. Its three members are the energetic leader Bossun, a former delinquent named Himeko who carries a hockey stick, and the computer expert Switch, who speaks only through a synthesised voice. Most days bring ridiculous requests, rival clubs, parodies and running gags, as the trio stumble through school life with more enthusiasm than skill. But behind the jokes, each member carries a past that explains why helping others matters so much to them, and when those stories come to light the series hits surprisingly hard. Kenta Shinohara's comedy won the Shogakukan Manga Award and was adapted into an anime. Fast, kind and very funny, SKET DANCE is a celebration of friendship and of the small, unglamorous ways people look out for one another.

Akira Momose returns to the countryside for high school with a single plan: to win the heart of Hajime, her childhood crush. She has rehearsed every approach and is determined to succeed. The problem is not him: Hajime likes her back. The problem is that Akira is far too dense to notice.

Shinta Harekawa's romantic comedy is a light, sweet story about two fools in love, built on misunderstandings, small gestures and the answer that has been beside Akira all along.
