@Giganova8 @poopernova Ahh, SoL pain. Yeah, it sucks a lot. The best source of slice of life that's just cute would be Manga Time Kirara's series, but you need a deep understanding of japanese to read em at this point since only about one in ten of their series get any form of translation.
If you want pure slice of life than I double down on the suggestion of reading Suwakoto, it's just a Touhou version of Yotsuba so it's about as pure as you can get. As for some more suggestions (since I just want to share good stuff to read), a couple of doujins since sorting through the actual manga stuff is difficult.

Anything by Hirisaka Makoto is great, especially after the Sangetsusei series was finished publishing leading to a lot more fairy themed stories. (And if you for some reason haven't, the Sangetsusei series and all the Touhou manga themselves tend to keep up the cute story act.)

Very cute series of Hecatia and Clownpiece living as a family.

Mamange has been fairly long running, and is one of the peaks of simple cute stories (Side Story Yuuka & Medicine from Eternal and Chapter 16 of Mamange Eternal notwithstanding, I cried at least once goddammit.)

Simple fairy SoL with a small spinoff chapter too focused on an out of place girl.
Could link a lot more single doujins, but I feel a couple of series is fitting for now. Listing off what I can think of for non-doujin series though, New Game! is great, Hatsukoi*Rail Trip has train lovers, and I beg of you to read Null Meta (so much so I'll link it https://mangadex.org/title/4c64f461-8562-44f3-a13f-aea2a0382d63/null-meta here), it's a very cute little comedy 4koma,
Funnily enough, the best source of happy simple stories right now in my eyes is goddamn isekai and other things like it, since any story that actually sticks to the OP aspect just ends up with happy people enjoying their lives.
