Romance Manga

I normally read action-packed manga like Naruto and One Piece. I do not really read romance manga until lately cos I bumped onto the manga called ‘Bitter Virgin’.

A very good tragic manga that is a seriously toned and does not contain any pornography, even though the title sounds a bit sick.

For me the manga is very sad. The whole manga, we can see from the name of the chapters itself tell us about the story. (her tragedy. her horror, her grief, her step, etc.) Unlike most romance mangas, it does not combine any romance with action or comedy or fantasy. I like it because it is serious, real and has a very interesting plot.

The manga touches on some issues such as androphobia, love, rape, stillbirth... It's taught me a lot about the kind of experience those people go through, the feelings they have.

I will recommend this for mature readers to read, not those that thinks romance = pornography. Can be found in onemanga.com.

Also, if anyone knows of a manga similar to bitter virgin, pls tell me. Thanks.
