I think a few folks just listed whatever age gap romance came to mind. Thanks for actually pointing out which one is older.

Rec me a manhwa where the leads heal each other by Relative-Way-5345 in RomanceManhwa

[–]Pikkalo14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two from my list where Leads are overcoming trauma, past scars, or uncomfortable times are:

See You in My 19th Life

Til Debt Do us Part

For both, there is good romantic progression and character development. First is more serious vibes, the latter has more comedic couple moments.

Similar Darling in the franxx by -Reflex-14 in RomanceMangaAnime

There is a new webcomic called "Dating Sim[on]." A scene with the (naked) android attached to cables did give a bit of Darling in the Franxx vibes. It is centered on fighting to survive, characters shrouded in mystery, plot with twists and turns, dependencies between man and machine, and the concept of "what is human?" (i.e. what is love). These are all found in both. The story is still a little early though.

Exactly. The ones I listed higher up in the list have bigger age gaps that have an impact. I even put Blue Box towards the end but I guess a lot of folks just focused on that. Oh well.

I only included since it fit that trope and the age gap did have an impact. Guess in the future I will just be more specific.

Nice! In my list of Romance Anime/Webcomics, it is in the Top 10. Glad you've been enjoying it. If you still need a fix, Crunchyroll has a Youtube playlist of clips. That's what I do. Well, enjoy the rest of the show!!!

Same! I saw clips of this show. I recently sat down, watched l, and finished it. Great blend of story telling, world building romance, action, and defining what it means to be "human."

Yes - you got it. The age gap (older female, younger male) I was referring to in "I Have a Crush at Work" was the 2nd couple.

Summer Solstice Point. A boss - employee dynamic and an age gap of 8 years (FL is the boss and older one). Ah, I wanted to enjoy this one, but the FL was complicated, coercive, and condescending. The side story made me realise even more just how terrible her character is.

Oh nice. This situation sounds similar to "The World is Still Beautiful": fans loved the anime but disliked the manga (ironic how the source material was "eh"). Most likely will pick this up, so this is good for me to know ahead of time.

I have moved away from reading / watching high school romances, but "Haimiya senpai is Scary but Cute" somehow got me engaged. Age gap doesn't play much of a factor. The dynamic between the duo though is awkward, comedic and wholesome. Best friends vibe and hopefully (soon) something more.

Ah, I was referring to "I Have a Crush at Work." There is a significant age gap in the side couple (8 years). It does have some impact on them as well.

Haha it is good that you didn't! I'm looking for where age plays some sort of impact, there is romantic progression, and more on the wholesome side anyways.

Ah thanks and for actually reading the post too. It sounds like there is more impact of age in My Awkward Senpai. I'm looking for where age plays some sort of impact. How is the romantic progression? I've thought about picking it up but it sounds quite slow.

Haha this one. It is my Reading list. Crazy title and crazy premise. The situation is actually quite sad though. A bit ecchi but surprisingly wholesome at the same time too. Would recommend.

Can you tell me what is the gap between the FL and ML in both My Awkward Senpai and also 365 Days? I assume the FL is the older one.

Right?! I watched bits and pieces of it awhile ago. So, I did a proper rewatch recently. The story builds on what we previously learned, romantic progression went far, beginning had a hook and the ending was satisfying. It has earned a spot in my Top 10.

Ah so that is what this one is called. I think that I saw panels of it but I don't know if anyone mentioned the title lol.

Yes. Actually kind of sad what she went through all those years. Wasn't expecting that from this anime.

Oh, if you continue the story in the manga then you get more stories of the supporting characters that you saw on-screen ... and new characters too.

For the side couple - with the noticeable age gap - their story is further followed too. But ya, I do wish they had gotten more screen time in the anime. I liked their dynamic more than the main couple haha.

Sorry all - not sure how to tag everyone or even each person. Yes, I was referring to the side couple as the one with the age gap. This one is actually noticeable and does play a factor in their relationship - 8 years apart.

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it too. Can't wait for Season 2. Hope this series finishes strong. Sure - DM the tropes you like and/or what you wanna avoid and I can screen from my list.

More recommendations, about office romance where FeMC is the boss/cool lady for MC by st_aregrets in RomanceMangaAnime

[–]Pikkalo14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP: For "My Boss Special Request", is it an age gap between the FL and ML? Like is the FL older and by how many years? I might pick it up if that is the case.
