Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! by Syundei
Cute and funny rom-com about a shy, awkward boy trying to get closer to the boy he likes. I love the 80s anime style of the artwork. Be sure to check out the sequal too (which was sadly cancelled, it seems)

Yume no Soko by Iwaoka Hisae
Melancholy and surreal story about a convenience store in the land where dreams are made. Does feature a scene of animal death.

Shirley by Mori Kaoru
Historical slice of life following the daily life of a young maid in Edwardian England. Some of Mori's earliest published work which has been sporadically serliased over the years.

Kieta Hatsukoi by Hinekure Wataru & Aruko
Sweet rom-com that begins with a series of fun misunderstandings. Subverts a few BL tropes and does touch upon homophobia, albeit rather lightly, but is still quite poignant.

Nekomichi by Iwaoka Hisae
Simple slice of life about a family and their cat

Little Forest by Igarashi Daisuke
Manga about a woman reutrning to her rural childhood home, with a focus on food and cooking

Neko ga Nishi Mukya by Urushibara Yuki
Slice of life wherein a mysterious "Flow" causes strange phenomenoms to occur. Unfortunately cancelled at only 17 chapters.
