[Seeking]Slice of Life, Romance, Mature - Manga
I just finished reading my first ever manga, Ichigo 100% in its entirety. Marathoned it in roughly 10-12 hours...and loved it (albeit disagreeing with the ending).
On the surface, it was a school harem drama romance, but underneath that was alot of slice of life elements and mature themes in regards to a boy becoming a man. Im looking for something that goes along that theme, seeing as Im 23 and now in the working world :P I related alot of my past experiences to Manaka growing up through high school, so I'd love to find something similar. |

Erm... wasn't expecting that request looking at you topic title, lol... From what I remember Ichigo 100% was one of those typical ecchi love triangle stories (which I usually loath) and I dropped the anime and manga years and years ago.
Onani Master Kurosawa is about a middle school boy, and it is definitely deeper than it might appear at the beginning. The protagonist goes through some real development and growth... not really a romance manga though there is a little of that towards the end. |

I hesitate to suggest my favorite romance manga, because they are mostly shoujo... There's a lot of good shounen/seinen stories with romantic subbplots, but most of the actual shounen romances I cannot stand... on account of the love triangles and lack of... progress.
I guess I rather liked Unbalance x 2 (though it's still ongoing). And Parallel was decent simply because it didn't go on forever. |

Ah! My Goddess! maybe? It is a romance and a slice of life, and the male lead starts as a college student and then graduates and enters the adult life of a working man. The manga is still unfinished though.

*ahem* okay, here are the standard slice-of-life/romance recommendations:
(warning though, these are very lighthearted and laid-back) wolf's rain higurashi no naku koro ni higanbana no saku yoru ni elfen lied neon genesis evangelion jk clannad has a manga, how 'bout that?

Hm, a romantic anime with slice of life elements... let's see...
There's Hatsukoi Limited (same author) Ane Doki Suzuka Kimi no Iru Machi True Tears (it's an anime, so I don't know if it counts) And though this isn't mature by any means, I still think this is a good series: School Rumble. |
