What's a good romance you'd recommend? I don't know if this one is bland but if you have something exciting I'm always looking for new things to read.
I just feel like Yamamori Mika seems to prioritize eye candy scenes more and more over deeper character or plot development. Sugars was actually a compelling anthology; Hirunaka no Ryuusei had its problems with the age difference and love triangle, but it was still interesting to see the main character's growth and final choice; Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet I dropped because of the same issues appearing again; this work is nice in that it largely focuses on the two of them, but it's been 25 chapters and I still don't really feel like I connect with the main characters. It's just shots of them looking cool, pretty, or conflicted with repeating miscommunications. Again, it might just be a me problem in that I've grown past my high school mindset and no longer relate to the problems depicted.
sorry about that rant! Anyways, other slice-of-life high school shoujo I think have more personality are
A Beloved Existence;
Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi;
Futsuu no Koiko-chan;
Ichijou Karen wa Yuuwakusuru;
Koiwazurai no Ellie;
Love Me, Love Me Not; and
Stand Up! (also about a "tall" girl and a popular boy). I haven't read a lot in this specific genre lately, which is why all the recs are a bit old, but I have more general romance recs
here if you're okay with BL, GL, and fantasy interspersed in there.
