so i want something not that action with romance mainly romance being the main theme. im currently reading umi no misaki, Unbalance x Unbalance, Kaichou Wa Maid-sama, ive read special a and koukou debut suggestions would be helpful

JRendell · 2010-12-12, 17:36

Pastel (similar to Umi no Misaki in my opinion)
GE ~Good Ending
Dengeki Daisy
Kimi no Iru Machi (I highly recommend)
Suzuka (by the same author of Kimi no Iru Machi - this is good too)

UPR · 2010-12-12, 21:47

I looked into kimi and it certainly looked very good youve given me good recomendations so gonna take your word for it.

GE idk i read that after the first arc gets very bland and the reason why girl is mean was cause they tricked her into XXX with a audience i was looking into it but what do u think.

the other i have no idea never even heard of them.

SuzushinaYuriko · 2010-12-12, 23:44

CLANNAD
Kuragehime
Nodame Cantabile
Toradora!

All of these are excellent and have both romance and comedy in them.

These series have couples dating and in relationships with kissing, break ups, marriage, sex, dates, intimate relationships. The couples are dating and in relationships durign the series. Many of these are manga or the manga version is superior to the anime.

Tjhese are amazing romance manga. I suggest you read The Devil Does Exist and Mars and Wild Act for amazing, epic romance.

SuzushinaYuriko · 2010-12-12, 23:53

Seriously, MamoruUsagi, do you carry that list around with you wherever you go?

MamoruUsagi · 2010-12-12, 23:55

Nope, the list actually changes significantly, I just edit some former posts, so it appears that the list remained the same but it actually has changed throughout time. I also do not intend to keep it at that, I just post and plan to edit it down so I remember, but don't always remember what I posted and forget to edit it, so it appears that way because sometimes it's late or something. But these are the best romance manga around and the author asked for great romance and these certaintly qualify.

UPR · 2010-12-13, 00:43

yeah and greatly appreciate the big list this should definetly keep me busy for the rest of my deployment thanks

Freakshow · 2010-12-13, 03:01

If you are looking for manga, I would suggest that you go to

a) mangafox.com
b) manga.animea.net (My choice)

at mangafox, you choose "advanced search" and then you just click on the genres you want like "romance" and "comedy" and then search ^^ Then all the mangas come up.

At manga.animea you click "manga" and then "manga list a-z" and the same thing. Choose your genres and then "search"

Hope that helped! I would recomend manga.anime because it has a LOT more mangas to choose between, though mangafox is faster to update so it's probably smarter to only read those who are already completed.

Give it a chance. The scenario you talked about is in no way a major part of the storyline; just part of a character's background. The story doesn't revolve around that at all, and it's hardly touched on when it is talked about. I highly enjoy it the manga, and the artwork is great too.

Have a read of the synopsis' for the other ones I listed too.

UPR · 2010-12-13, 19:54

thanks JR for your input ive started reading Kimi and yeah its good gonna start getting all the chapters that are currently scantaleted.

and thats good about GE cause i was really gonna start reading just that one thing stopped me but not no more

Bonta Kun · 2010-12-13, 22:25

Since you liked Special A I have to recommend another little gem from the same author, You're My Girlfriend.
It's only 4 chapters but I consider it the best short story I've read and a top title.

Others I recommend are

Onidere - Problem with this series is the art, it's rather "bad" in way, altho I like it.

Yandere Kanojo - Don't be mislead by the title, it's just great word play but this series is great fun and I highly recommend it.

Countrouble - This one is pretty good and I like it alot.

Amagami - eh there are actually a few different serializations of the Amagami brand, they are based off of a Visual Novel game. Purely romance and very good. My favorite of the bunch is Precious Dairy but they are all worth the read.
If you do like Amagami then I'd recommend Kimikiss as well.

Something a little different, maybe try out Pretty Face
Romance is one of the main themes but it's not really taken as far as one would like. I only really recommend it cause the romance is there and it's fun read.
Altho the ending is somewhat open as this series came to sudden ending cause it was axed(unfortunately).
On that note you may want to check out another title from the same author, Mx0
Again I'd say the romance is the same as Pretty Face, in that it's there but not taken to great lengths.
And sadly once again a another axed/rushed ending, this one is worse off than Pretty Face I'd say but still a very fun read.

Another odd one worth the look is Midori no Hibi, this one is quite odd but I think it's great none the less.
just so you get a idea of how odd heres the summary of the story

Spoiler:

Another title from same author of MnH is Ai Kora

Patchy · 2010-12-14, 00:22

Onidere is really good IMO, if you can resist the art of it...

Kare-Kano is one of the best in the genre so if you haven't read that I recommended it most.

Hitsuji no Namida is also a good with a realistic feeling in a manga.

Skip Beat is one of the best in comedy, though the romance is slow... but it's definitely worth a try.

and another Kimi ... Kimi ni Todoke is a highly recommended romance manga.

and the classic HanaKimi of course ^_^

But at heart, Seiji is a softy, and all he wants is an end to his seventeen-year history of being a lonely single guy. Unfortunately his tough-guy reputation only serves to decrease his popularity with the ladies. But what happens when one day, his right hand becomes a girl?!
