I'll focus on less known series.

Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Tsurugi wo Mune ni Idaku / The Little Girl Raised by Death Holds the Sword of Death Tightly - if I had to describe this manga with two words, it would be "cute gore". The MC beheads enemies with a smile on her face completely unfitting (on purpose!) the situation.
When I Returned To My Hometown, My Childhood Friend Was Broken - a romance between childhood friends, in short chapters; the boy is still the same as before, but the girl went from an assertive tomboy to someone fragile and clearly depressive. And as their romance progresses, she tries to "find herself". Worth noting that, while the MMC is an important factor behind the FMC healing herself, he is not the one fixing her - he accepts her now as he accepted her back then, the manga is rather clear that she's the one seeking the changes by herself.
Otherworldly Munchkin - MC and his sister are isekai'd into a tabletop RPG-like world by a shitty goddess. He quickly catches up that the goddess is lying, and decides to steal the gamebook from her hands. And now he's exploiting the system to save his sister.
S-Rank Party Kara Kaikosareta / My S-Rank Party Fired Me for Being a Cursificer - another "expelled from party" story. The guy is a complete weirdo, obsessed with macabre-looking curse objects, but he's damn good at it.

Added cursificer to my read list, it looks interesting. Also it not looking like an extremely edgy looking expelled from party story is kind of refreshing.

Yup, the manga is rather cheerful. Often other characters poke fun (in good nature) at the protag and his lack of common sense, the former party is Team Rocket tier incompetent, this kind of stuff.
