After years of not having read a book (other than mangas) I recently found my love for reading and writing again. I'm craving something with a little bit of drama, romance, and slice-of-life. Preferably with 2-3 of these aspects.
I'm in the mood to read books that evoke the same emotions I felt when I watched/read these:
A Silent Voice – Yoshitoki Oima
Look Back – Tatsuki Fujimoto
Neither of these is really romance. Romance is not a requirement but it's a plus. A Silent Voice despite being listed as one is more psychological drama with some romance sprinkled on it. I don't know how to describe this feeling but it's a hopeful kind of love despite being in a melancholic depression type of story.
I'm not really into romance, maybe I have the wrong impression of the genre but I'm looking for love that isn't physical, something closer to the soul. I'm not a prude or anything ,I just want that deeper melancholic love that these two films showed whether it is romantic love or not. Self love and friendship with that melancholic feeling are also just as valid.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo hits that bittersweet soul-deep love vibe perfectly – it’s got layers of melancholy wrapped around some of the most genuine emotional connections you’ll ever read.
