Are you tired of predictable, overplayed plots? Do you groan every time you see a unique, promising concept be ruined by sloppy execution? Do you react to old, exhausted romance-fantasy tropes by rolling your eyes, gritting your teeth, and soldiering through the unnecessary drama in the hopes of finding some trace of a half-competent narrative?
If so, you're probably like me. Personally, story is my drug, and as a hopeless bleeding-heart, I have a huge soft spot for well written romance. This list is a collection of my favorite manhwa, manga, and comics; and I will personally guarantee the quality of their content. If you're after stories featuring leads that behave like adults, communicate, and resolve conflict through conversation, compromise, and compassion, this is your stop.
(Be advised that my other favorite genre is political intrigue, so I snuck a few of those in as well.)
