For as massive of a multimedia franchise as Pokémon is, it's intriguing how romance is often touched upon but rarely taken seriously. There's a significant shipping culture in both the anime and game fandoms; one of the main characters in the anime has a recurring joke of hitting on every woman he encounters, and there's even a pseudo love interest in Black and White 2. Despite this, there is no canonical partner for Ash, any Pokémon protagonist, or even most adults who aren't parents, like Lenora or Kukui.
Enter Pocket Monsters: Pipipi Adventure (named after Pikachu, Pippi (Clefairy), and Purin (Jigglypuff)), or Pokémon Magical Journey in the west, a shoujo manga set in the Pokémon world, and one of three Pokémon mangas targeted towards teenagers rather than children. Does it take its romance seriously? Well, yes and no... somehow.
It revolves around the daily life of Hazel (Maron in Japan) and her constant efforts to gain Almond's attention. Unfortunately for her, Almond is only interested in catching Pokémon (though he doesn't seem very good at it) and not much else. They encounter and have misadventures with several talking Pokémon. Pokémon Magical Journey is more of a gag manga with shoujo elements than a serious romance manga.
The art is very silly and cute, and the whole thing has a very nonsensical vibe. It introduces more and more side characters as it progresses and often seems more interested in exploring the relationships between the side characters than the main ones. As cute as it is to see the blossoming love between a talking Arbok and a Wigglytuff, the chapters are really at their best when they're about Hazel, but with so many side characters and chapters about them, she starts to feel a bit pushed out of the main focus.
The takes on the Pokémon as characters are quite fun; there's an Articuno that runs a shaved ice shop, a Ditto that's a ninja master, and many more. As a light-hearted, cozy read, it's a pretty fun manga, though it kinda falls into a trap a lot of shoujo anime/manga can run into by introducing a few too many side characters. If you like Pokémon and you're looking for something unique, fun, and cute, give it a shot; it's worth a read for how off the wall it is.
Sadly, on most manga websites I could find, I couldn't find a full translation, and Viz Media only translated 8 of the 10 volumes. So I have no idea what the last two are like, but I don't expect them to be too different.
