Romance Comedy Manga Novels & Stories

25 March 1820 Rome, Italy Jacob was lounging on a chair and Mrs. Valentina Lombardi, the most sought after courtesan in Rome was sprawled on his lap, her lush body pressed to his as she tried to coax a reaction out of him. He knew all the other men watching him envied him. But for the life of him, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for the act. Instead of finding her perfume enticing, he found it cloying. The smoke from the cigars made him feel suffocated.

She clears her throat, which forces me to stop admiring her body and look at her face. “Maija, why do you keep calling me Klein?” I groan as I sit up in the bed. She shrugs and smiles without answering, but I already know why. Since the night we kissed, she has been doing it, and I suspect it’s because she wants to put some distance between us. “So, what’s up?” “I’m going downtown to the manga shop; Oda is having a book signing, he’s...” “The creator of One-piece, your favorite Anime, with your first love Zoro.” She looks at me, surprised that I would remember such trivial details she told me in passing, but she does not understand that nothing about her is trivial to me.

Akiko asked, half annoyed. “He’s not interested in me—thankfully. Kyoko shrugged. "And I'm not interested in three-dimensional men," she said. Akiko scoffed, unsurprised by Kyoko’s honesty. After getting to know her better, Akiko had learned that Kyoko was an otaku*. She preferred manga and anime characters over real people, which explained her bluntness when dealing with them. Her taste for men followed suit—Kyoko was more attracted to two-dimensional men from manga and anime. Akiko didn’t mind; in fact, she sometimes enjoyed Kyoko’s rather extensive manga collection.

This was the first time I heard him talking so animatedly about something. We reached the cinema floor and some of our classmates were waiting for us at the entrance. Izzie handed out tickets, while Noah gave Lance our refreshments. We went hurriedly inside to find seats. I could make out the heads of Charm, Val, and the rest seated near the middle. Lance and I were at the back: Izzie and Noah were in the row in front of us. Our class was scattered all over, and we can hear Val’s voice reverberating inside the cinema. Suddenly, the lights went out and the movie started. It was a funny, romantic movie and I was quiet all throughout. I was transfixed. Tom Hanks was really cute plus the story o

“Right… Okay, you two need to do away with the friendship between the two of you. Even if you two are alone together, you need to practice your romance. Acting out under the watchful eyes of people will look easy for you but stiff to the onlookers.” Raina came over to where I was and pointed at Sandy. “Have you two even kissed before?” She asked and it felt like the room became smaller. “K-Kissed?” Sandy chuckled. “No… why would we do that?” “You see?!” Raina’s loud voice made me jump. I sighed. “Can you go straight to the point?”

“Dude, you look miserable. You need a girlfriend.” Tamashi looks up from the book he was reading, looking visibly irritated. “Can you stop trying to make a me a womanizer for one second? I’m actually trying to finish this book.” “Is it a romance?” “None of your business.” “Ooh, let me see. Is the dude in this story just as boring as you?” “DUDE, let go-“ As Tamashi and his overbearing friend wrestle for the book, a girl sits down in the desk behind Tamashi.

Cai Kang left for a moment to buy some food along with Ryosuke when suddenly, Cai Kang looked at the entrance of a manga store leaving Ryosuke confused. “Do you like manga?” Cai Kang has a cheerful expression on his face. “Are you kidding? I love it. Kinda my window to the outside world growing up.” He said then shoos his brother away. “Go without me. The next volume of the Purple Dawn manga finally came out and it even has a handwritten signature from Hoshino Nozomi herself. I have to read it.”

It was so thick a blunt knife could cut through it. She moved her hands away, and moved it to the other plate. The movie began. “Of course it's some ridiculous romance story,” Luca said at the very first scene. She chuckled but didn't say anything afterwards. “In what world is any man refusing a ten million dollar offer from an older woman just to fuck her? This is the problem with romance stories. They're not realistic.” “You sound like one of those overly logical professors dissecting a movie,” Mia chuckled as she munched her delicious chicken.

Her cheeks flushed from embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.” he was so taken aback by her embarrassed reaction that he felt a little bad for rejoicing. She gave him a cute chuckle. “No need to apologize. You know what, I loved that manga so much that I named my shop after it.” After a while, she clicked a folder from her desktop, then moved her chair closer to him to show him pictures of her shop. It was a small shop, but it looked like the shop in the movie. The outside walls of the shop were white with a large window that showed the tables inside. There were huge flower pots outside, spilling with flowers of different colors.

Their conversation echoed through the entire restaurant. "Jeremy, when is that old woman finally going to add your name to the deed?" "Soon. She's just a love-starved idiot. A few sweet words and she's completely lost. Once the house is mine, I'll dump her and marry you." "Sheesh, you're so bad… But I like it." The ring box fell from Jeremy's hand, snapping open with a loud clatter. The cheap moissanite rolled under the table. His face turned ghostly pale.
