    I've noticed over the years that younger male love interests rarely get the girl. Although I'm not a huge fan of the younger man trope (especially if there's a large age gap), in pursuit of less cliche horizons, do y'all have any recommendations?


    Novels/manga/manhwa. I'd probably avoid manhua unless it's a newer one, as well MLs over 3 years younger. It starts to get weird otherwise (in my opinion, of course).

    Actually, I'm not sure about how big the age difference is since there's no way I can remember all of that, I'm even having a hard time remembering if the MC is older or they're the same age, but they're definitely younger MLs.

    Manhwa:
    • The Viridescent Crown
    • The Younger Male Lead Fell for Me before the Destruction
    • Under the Blue Moonlight - The ML should be younger??? I'm not sure.
    • Summer Solstice Point

    Manga:
    • It's Virtually Impossible To Make This Boy Like Me
    • The Bride And The Exorcist Knight
    • The World is Still Beautiful
    • A Cute Younger Yankee
    • Kageyama-kun in the Public Health Room - I'm not sure....
    • The Troubles Of A Fortune Teller

    These ones have a larger age gaps but I'll still drop it here just in case you're interested:
    • The Tyrant's Guardian Is An Evil Witch - MC is a witch so she's like 200 years older.
    • I Worked Myself To Death And Reincarnated As The Queen Of His Majesty, Who Is Younger Than Me!
    • By The Way, Dragon Mistress
    • The Elf and the Hunter's Item Atelier
    • Even If You Avoid The Slit - MC is a ghost.
    • Divorced Girl and High School Boy - MC should be in her mid or late twenties? while the ML is a high schooler.
    • I'm Only 14 But I'll Make You Happy! - I'm VERY hesitant to drop it here BUT IT'S VERY WHOLESOME. NOTHING SUSPICIOUS! though I guess the fact that the ML is only 14 while MC is already in her 20's is suspicious enough.
