SoL with young adults (hints of fantasy are ok, but prefer without)
So, I don't want it to be highschool, I'd prefer characters in their early/mid 20's, or up to 30's.
Rooted in real life, but if there is a hint of fantasy it's not a big issue although I'd prefer not. For instance Ano hana has fantasy, but it's more of a pretext to talk about real life, so that's ok. Yet I'd prefer something realistic.
I have no particular expectations about the topics, just people dealing with their life.
It's fine if their is a romantic aspect, but I'm not looking for a romcom.
I don't want a comedy. Comedy aspects are ok though if it's not the main thing, or at least not highlighted.
Can have light and serious/deep aspects, as long as it makes you think of life, and possibly opens some perspectives of thought.
Not too much about family if possible.
The topics can also be very mundane, doing groceries, whatever.
Simple, quiet if possible, no shouting or exuberant, warm sympathetic atmosphere.
