Damn, you beat me to it lol I'll post the ones tied for my second favorite~

It's a premium comic, but definitely worth the ink imo I'm a sucker for the art style too so there's that

There's romance in here, but I wouldn't call it the focus?? Really good stuff though, finished too

It's really cute and I can't wait to see where it goes!

I love all of these comics so much, can't possibly narrow it down to just one.

I'd be here all day if I were to discuss completed romance comics???? But for ongoing ones, I really love "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun" and "Chihayafuru".

Just the best... That is all!

These aren't comics, but for people who enjoy reading books, this is a list of active romance novelists who put tons of effort in their works:

That’s a mood! I’m always wary when reading incomplete romance things since sometimes they just TAKE A TURNi cannot handle XD

This comics is far from being pure romance, but the romantic line is an important part of its plot, and I like it:

antimekii 2020-01-15 19:31:19 UTC #13

YES, tho likely it's more of a teen romance thing? I used to have like 67547475 romance manga/webtoons in my reading lists but always drop midway due to repetitive fluff or just repetitive plot in general. Also that midway is "the mc realizes that she and her main guy's feelings are mutual" and still takes YEARS to end the story. I'd like to take back my time spent on shoujo manga.

spadedigsbutts 2020-01-15 19:39:04 UTC #14

Same. I’ve read so much stuff by now that it can be hard to find something that’s either unique enough or has good enough characters to hold my interest. A narratively concise story gets me so much harder than one with a lot of fluff

On Tapas:

Jamie is hella cute if you're looking for a sweet budding romance and a coming of age story.

A very unique take on soulmates, which isn't a theme I usually like but I think it's done well here!

On Webtoons:

One of my fav comics right now, it's more about friendship and the bigger plot than it is about the romance but you see it developing slowly! It has really well written diverse characters, a really good plot and the art is really cute!

I was reading this comic back when it was on Tapas and I'm really happy it got picked up as a webtoon original, the characters are fun and I enjoy it so far.

I don't have a lot of mange recs but Fruits Basket remains my fav manga regardless of what I read, it has so much depth that 13 year old me totally missed and I didn't get until I reread it as an adult. It's packed with so many well-written characters that it makes me jealous!

I have a romance novel that's set in ancient China if you're interested!

Also if you're into dark romance, this novel will be up your alley.

Same! Love that one, especially the art. So cute.

I think my favorites are probably the following:

I also create a romance/horror comic, if you want to check it out.

I don't usually read romances because I don't like twee, but I'm digging 'Married to the Player' by @AltheaLiu . It's got some sass.

amberberry 2020-01-17 00:58:32 UTC #20

This is my current favourite

And here's my series if you're interested

If you like steamy romance with some eyebrow raising scenes, I really recommend this one:

I also need to get back into reading this LGBTQ romance:

joannekwan 2020-01-17 21:05:56 UTC #23

For novels it's

Very nicely written, and not over-wrought with fluff.

And for comics it's

Super funny with great characters, I could totally see it as a rom-com series on TV

also thanks for the shout-out @CodeMonkeyArts ;D
