Do you think Ai Yazawa will ever finish Nana?

It’s been over a decade so probably unlikely but that manga was so formative for me growing up. I really wish… 😭

Any similar Josei you’d recommend while I languish?

Looking for josei smut catalogue from bt

So basically I used to read pretty much everything on bato but I never remembered names of the titles 😭 I only recognised using tiles….and most of them weren’t on mal database so I never really made a list. Now it’s so hard to find what I used to read….

Plus I went on a manga hiatus in 2023 🫤😐 thinking I’d catch up with most series when they’d end….but by the time I returned to catch up the site said goodbye rip

If you have a collection of names or anything which has list of whatever catalogue bato used to have in josei smut categories….pls do let me know…. Thanks <3

Recommendations for fluffy shoujo/josei

i feel SO VERY MUCH tired reading complicate, dragging on stuff and i need some healing shoujo rn. shoujo where ml is head over heels for fl, never gives up just because she doesn’t seem to notice him or anything, fl is a cutie patato and IS NOT A LONER OR ANYTHING, that she has her own life and friends. and ml must be the one who fell first and HARDER. He should honor the ground she walks on, you know what i mean? he should pursue her without getting tired of it, very much appreciated if he is a clingy type. i just really want to read wholesome stuff with a devoted ml. i am on a break from historical ones since i read so many of them so if you guys recommend modern romance i’ll be thankful 😌

Yandere NSFW Manga

Hello!!!
I’m looking for male yandere manga, preferably straight but I’m ok with Yaoi. I want some for my manga collection but whenever I look for recommendations all I get is webtoons or manwha. I don’t have anything against them I just want my manga collection to stay a manga collection.

Recommendations for a gritty/realistic josei manga about dating?

I'm looking for a gritty/realistic/harsh but also relateable josei manga about the disappointment of the realities of dating men.

I really really love Tokyo Tarareba Girls (and every Akiko Higashimura manga) so anything similar to that would be great. I also really love In Clothes Called Fat.

I would love to hear your suggestions!!

Large age gap with FL being older

It's rare to see large age gap where FL is older especially in josei sphere. It's more popular if it's the ML that older and in these stories, sometimes they even end up with babies/families. So I'm sharing what I have read and found them interesting.

In the first story, FL is an author who gave up on her dream of being successful because she married early. She's somewhat miserable in the marriage, her husband cheated on her and doesn't appreciate her, treating her mostly like a maid. However she will cheat on him with her editor early on so a bit warning for those who hate cheating MC. She met with the young ML and this reignite her passion and dream as the ML is an author himself. As she gets closer with ML, her husband gave sarcastic remarks about their large age gap which the FL refute him by saying the husband did the same thing with her (husband and FL have age gap too and he hit on her when she's younger in office) which silence him. There's cliche about ML mom being the cheating partner of the husband and drama surrounding ML childhood friend who have unrequited love for ML and have affairs with married men.

For the second story, it's actually seinen because it's published in seinen magazine. FL is almost 40 and in a hurry to get pregnant. She met ML in a park and he lied about his age and identity (he used his older brother's), and FL was impressed as the university is hard to get into. FL entice him and wanted to see him again (for his sperm) and the oblivious ML was happy to be able see her again. Tbh the story is really good and hard to get mad at either ML or FL, they have good reasons. Also, ML big bro is a realistic portrayal, he's concerned that ML is being scammed by FL. He also give honest advice to change his university of choice. She will eventually ghosted him after finding out the truth about his real age and some drama about whether she can survive being a single mom or truly love the child. I read this long ago in English but can't find anymore. Also, the same author made similar taboo story where ML and FL didn't know they're related after they dated.

If anybody know similar stories pls let me know.

Help finding romance manga

This is my first post so sorry if there are errors!

The female lead has silver hair, glasses, has a shy personality and she's an archaeologist.

The male lead is the brother of his nation's empire. He has spiky black hair and yellow eyes? And he's tall and muscular, someone commented he looks like a JoJo character. He wears a military uniform.

They're from different nations but they met in his nation in a library when they were younger because she's an exchange student? She likes archaeology and studying about his nations' artifacts. And he was in the military.

When they meet again, she's a translator for the ML because her nation wants to use his nation's forces against another country.
