In 2021, I decided to start collecting my favorite manga, but also to start buying physical copies of new manga. The sad thing is that many romance manga have been discontinued over here in México, so it’s hard to find copies of my all-time favorites, like Ouran High School Host Club, Maid-sama! or Kimi ni Todoke. Hopefully, with the success of Fruits Basket (and its new Collector’s Editions), they decide to start selling them again! Or maybe a new publishing house can start translating them again. The good thing is that they do have other favorites that can be mine immediately, like Ao Haru Ride, Lovely Complex, and Wotakoi. The next romance manga are all officially English-translated, so you can either find them on your favorite online retailer or bookstore. Let’s hope that we get more romance manga translations this 2022 and beyond! If you’re looking for completed manga, because you love reading it all in one go, these best completed manga series will be perfect for you. Or let’s say you want to know which new manga is releasing this year! We can help you with that as well. No worries, here at Book Riot, we have you covered. Sweat and Soap is definitely the romcom manga you need to be reading. It follows Asaka, a woman who sweats considerably, and Koutarou, her coworker who also happens to be a perfume developer and cannot get enough of Asako’s scent. Yuki is a typical college student; her whole life revolves around studying, being with her friends, and the latest shopping sales. But, when a chance encounter leads her on meeting upperclassman Itsuomi-san, her world starts to expand. Though Itsuomi-san can speak three different languages, he cannot speak sign language…How can they communicate? If you’re a fan of Io Sakisaka’s past work, like Strobe Edge or Ao Haru Ride, I’m positive you’re also going to love this one. This story is about fast friends Yuna and Akari who are just going through their high school life. When they meet, they find out they live in the same apartment complex, making their friendship stronger. Yuri meets the underboss of a mafia family at a party one night. Despite the fact that they feel mutual attraction, Yuri doesn’t want to get involved with him. I mean, he’s a bad boy! But her heart says something else and somehow they keep bumping into each other. In Ima Koi: Now I’m in Love, we meet high school student Satomi who has always been too shy to ever confess her feelings, so her love life has never really taken off. But everything changes when she suddenly blurts out her crush on her impossibly handsome classmate Yagyu! To her surprise, he agrees to date her. Oh, mistaken identity rules this storyline, because Aoki, our main lead, has had a crush on Hashimoto, the girl who sits next to him, for a while now. One day, Aoki borrows her eraser and he sees that she wrote down the name of another boy there! This same boy, Ida, sees Aoki holding an eraser with his name on it, so now Ida thinks Aoki has a crush on him… Konatsu is slowly adapting to a new school, to a new environment, but it sucks she has to join a club because it’s required.

Doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojou has become a loner after a traumatizing event with a friend. His days are passed in the home ec classroom instead. Girls like Marin, popular girls who constantly have friends around them, are aliens to him. But when Marin sees Wakana one day sewing, she barges into his life! You see, she loves one thing and one thing only: cosplaying. And she wants Wakana to help her. Imagine inheriting a mysterious estate that exists between the human and spiritual realm? This happens to orphan Himari Momochi! On her 16th birthday, she’s meant to act as the guardian between the two worlds. But on the day she moves in, she finds someone inside who has already taken her role. Yuki became the basketball team manager only because she had a crush on the captain. Girl, we get it.
