Looking for romance anime/manga

Both Suzuka and Kimi no Iru Machi are created by the same author, Kouji Seo. Since you are in the mood of romance titles, I'll definitively suggest reading Namiiro (and the manga is finished with 7 chapters), and whenever you are bored don't be afraid with True Tears (just watch it yourself and give your own opinion after finishing 12 episodes).

I had started watching Tonagura just because it looked like some light ecchi title, and indeed it is, but i just finished episode 4 and kinda got a clue of this anime and... i find it a bit idiotic; i mean, if it wasn't for that small weapon maniac sister of him always getting in the way, i would have kept watching it, but she just got on my balls and it looks a bit too episodic, so dropping it. The graphic wasn't exceptional either, and the boy was just an horndog and nothing more. The protagonist of He is my master at least made me laugh.

Now i don't really know what to do: i had just gotten in the mood for animes, so i guess i'll start watching Nodame Catabile in a while.

When i get in the mood for reading again, Namiiro will surely be the next. I already miss Kimi no iru machi: it really was a good suggestion

EDIT
Hahahaa, just finished watching the first episode of Nodame Cantabile, and i laughed hard all the time; i thought that Nodame was some serious and irritating girl, but she turned to be an airhead and kinda random; also, from the 1st episode, it looks like the pov is from Chiaki, and i enjoyed it very much. Now getting on the next episode.

I can definitely suggest more romance manga but I want to know if you want something light where the romance only goes as far as kissing or do you want something targeted for adult audience? where the manga may contain any of the following like strong sexual content,Violence,more swearing etc.

Out of all the manga that I suggested GTO,eternal Sabbath,,Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou are the only ones that are finished. I Read all 3 of them and they were really good and I chose them based on the things you liked but you seem to pick on the littlest things for not to reading them. They all have some romance but where they succeed the most in capturing their audiences is through their characters and interesting plot. There are 2 ½ months left before the new show finish airing while you wait you can check out those 3 and I’ll continue suggesting more manga


if you didn’t see my post about btooom I’ll say it here the manga does not take place in virtual reality world instead it takes place an island where the protagonist is forced to play a real life version of his favorite game ala battle royale. Sounds like something mindless and boring but it really isn’t as the main protaganist and other characters tend to use strategy, mind games, and deception in order to win just like in death note. The main girl in here is cute

just to give you an idea what kind of manga I may suggest you if you were to go for manga targeted for adult audience only here are a few samples.

http://myanimelist.net/manga/21419/Nozoki_Ana

[Classified Info]

Oh oh, Velvet kiss picked up my interest immediately after i saw the girl on the cover: definitely the next title i'm going to read.

Nozoki Ana also has good premises and i'm very willing to read it, but i hope it doesn't get demential like Tonagura (if you get what i mean)

Anyways, at the moment i'm watching the first season of Nodame Cantabile and i've got to say that i'm really enjoying it. So far the romance didn't really play a big role, but this title is hell funny and the humor and those faces remind me a lot of Arakawa under the bridge (The artwork of Chiaki is almost identical to the one of Kou). I'm willing to finish the first season today and follow up this story with the other seasons but i wanted to know if the next seasons are:
2nd season: NC Paris
3rd season: NC Finale
So that i start getting them
Btw ye, when something doesn't convice me 100% i tend to discard it for stupid things until someone seriously convinces me, haha. You kinda have to force the interests in me in order to get me to read/watch something "suspicious". This happened with quite a bunch of titles lately, NC included.

Now getting on ep9 of NC.

EDIT
Forgot to answer some of those questions: what i really like is adult content adapted in a cool OR funny way: things like WTNHK, where topics like suicide, sex, fraud are treated in a... not too serious way, almost even joking on them. I like when the romance is deep and worked on, but when it's also coupled with some ecchi scenes, such as embarassing situations and what not. I also prefer if the boy were more real, and not so pure that it's just unbelievable (What's wrong with a guy wanting to make out with his girlfriend, if she's ok? All that "Oh we won't do anything, i'll stay virgin until we are married and are 40's" what the fuck, really, it's depressing). If it's a mainly ecchi/romance title, i prefer if the guy is like Keita from Kissxsis: he may be pushing away his two willing sisters for 3mins, but then give up and enjoy those sexy games. Also, when the adult content is about murder, death, psychological stuff etc, i prefer if those topics are treated in a cool way, exactly like Death Note, and not in a serious and dark way like Monster. That's it: either sex content treated in a light way, like in Kissxsis or any other ecchi show out there, or adult content(such as murder, drug, death, psycho, violence) treaded in a "cool" way (Take DN as an example, once again).

However, if you take a close look at my top5, almost none of those titles contains what i wrote above: that's simply because they were fucking good (Ah no wait, WTNHK is there, and Haruhi Suzumiya actually has Kyon that hasn't many pure thougths --> Mikuru photos folder. Oh well, nevermind lol)

[MisaoFan]

If there's a serious and dark stuff (non-light and cool stuff), maybe because you're too emotionnal ?

[Classified Info]

Actually... it's the opposite: i barely can feel anything, i care about nearly nothing and often talk nonchalantly about serious topics, and that's why i want a title where such topics are treated in a cynical way, because i myself could talk about horrible stuff like it was nothing.

When i'm showed this kind of things, but portrayed in such dramatic way, i just can't feel it and often get annoyed, because i don't find it that dramatic. On the otherside, when sex is treated in a too serious way, the exciting factor goes away, and i'm no longer entertained.

Oh right
Could you make your own light novel ?

Surprise, surprise!

2nd season: NC Paris
3rd season: NC Finale

Yes, that's the order. I'll warn you that Paris-hen might be a bit of a let down after the first season; it was made by a different staff than the original. The original staff returned to make Finale, though, and it was better than Paris-hen. All the parts of Nodame were adapted into live-action shows and movies as well. I've watched those and prefer the anime versions myself.

Neither of these titles is ecchi, but they both fit that description. Toshokan Sensou is a romance about censorship in a near-future Japan. Oh! Edo Rocket is an often hilarious comedy about political repression during the Tenpō Reforms of the 1840's with some romance as well. Hataraki Man is a comedy/drama about a 28-yo woman working as an editor for a Japanese magazine. That one's a bit hard to find, but there are torrents out there.

[Classified Info]

Almost finished ep19 of Nodame Cantabile, but it became very boring for me; i thought the romance was hell more developed, and instead Nodame looks more like some secondary character: this whole title is centered on Chiaki's career and music, and i started yawning hard. After i finish this episode i'll chill out on something else; let me know if i should really continue this series expecting something. (when i first saw this title, i thought it was about an irritating girl and a tsundere boy slowly falling in love while playing instruments together, and instead the story was 98% about music and Chiaki, with Nodame being clumsy and playing a background role; to be honest, i'd have preferred if it were how i imagined it)

this is enough to convince me that you should still try the manga for GTO. You will come to like onizuka not only because he is funny but also because he is not the type of person to feel sorrow when hearing about other peoples misfortunes and he uses that to his advantage when he tries to change the lives of some of his students using methods that are very entertaining to read
One of my favorite chapters would have to be chapter 65: open up your asshole and chapter 66:a smile for a sad young girl. These two chapters are a good example of a taking a serious issue and turning it into something cool and not too serious . Just give it a shot if you don’t like even after reading 30 chapters then I’ll suggest you 3 new adult titles that I found enjoyable.

[Classified Info]

I have no doubt that GTO is good, but the main problem is that it don't recall it having any kind of romance, and the only title that didn't contain romance that i still loved was ONLY Death Note. If you really think that GTO is at the level of DN, then i'm trying it out, otherwise it'll have to wait a lot.

Anyways, i'm continuing watching Nodame Cantabile just because i had almost finished 1st season. Ah, even tho it didn't have much romance so far, i still have to thank you for having suggested it, my Sensei, haha, because this way i discovered my interest for russian classic music (I think it was episode 9, Rachmaninoff concerto n2: it gave me so many chills, i didn't really think such anime could deliver such... feelings through music. I actually didn't really think classical music could; so far i had only listened to "happy" or "regal" classical music, which kinda bored me, but this thing full of crescendos and fast pieces was just awesome, really loved it)

[Cold~as~Ice]

I think you are really underestimating GTO and yes there romance in it.the manga art looks much better than the anime as well.

here is a title that I found fucking hilarious.it's kind of like the adult version of koharu biyori

[MisaoFan]

I wish Classified had to re-pick Shana and I wonder how Anime-fan110 would reply about the romance.

Haha dude, you seriously got skills when it comes to pick up my interest: Yuria 100 Shiki: i'm definitely going to read it when i get back friday. I'd start it tonight, but i wouldn't be able to finish all 100 chapters, so i'll wait for the next weekend (in 2 days).

I'll also make sure to check out GTO, since i'm most likely not going to pick up the 2nd season of NC (Unless these last 3 episodes turn out to be monstrously awesome)

In this piece of time i had i was gathering some pieces of Rachmaninoff, and now going for the 20th episode of Nodame Cantabile.

Tonight i'll read something that got suggested through PM that would be an hentai version of Kissxsis (It's called swing out sisters).

[maxblaze]

Waz up Guys its been a while since my last post here hehe im having a manga and manwha marathon. and i just finish some good series like Noblesse, Sun ken rock Veritas, The breaker and code breaker and i finish them all in the span of A WEEK hahahah .by the way i came across a manga called Velvet Kiss -> Romance,Ecchi,Mature(borderline) unlike those crappy ecchi,manga or anime series that theres not even have a decent plot that i already read and watch i find these manga actually very Good, as far as the Art, plot, and Story line are concerned i cant find anything bad about it everything was flawless. the heroine was hell Freaking so cute and hot(maybe my all time favorite twin-tail heroine) and i also 100% sure that the protagonist was very fit to what Classified Info wants .The protagonist here was rational and matured but not too serious.

Spoiler for :

The protagonist and heroine had sex not only once but many times

compared to watching or reading actual hentai i find there

Spoiler for :

sex scene cute and flappable hahahha

. more importantly the story line was really interesting theirs some scene makes you want to jerk but you cant because the story will really drag you and the feeling that you just want to continue to read until you finished it .( i actually endure not to jerk while reading it because of the urge of wanting to know what will happen next ) it has only 32 chapters and already completed so you don't need to worry about waiting a fucking weak. as for the ending for me was

Spoiler for :

very Satisfying

if you guys are hesitating to read it you can read some forums about this manga and i can assure you cant find anything negative feedback about it.

[Classified Info]

Velvet Kiss was suggested some post before, and i had already decided to read it. Anyways, next time try not to easily spoil events happening in the manga

Spoiler for like:

Them having sex

I'd like to see it myself, no need to expose the "surprise". Now i'll barely feel the tension when it comes to it, because i'll already know that it's going to happen anyways. I'd like to remind you all that it was exactly this kind of spoilering that destroyed any chance, for me, to 100% enjoy Death Note

Btw, finished watching the first season of Nodame Cantabile, and it was pretty much funny, beside that made me discover something classical that i like. However, there was barely any hint of romance and it was only focused on Chiaki's career; also, i really wanted more of Nodame. I liked it very much in the first episodes, where there was more Chiaki & Nodame, and them playing together, that was real fun. Episode 11 was best imo. Still, you can't say this title is a romance. If the following seasons are romances, i'm going to continue it, otherwise i'll just read the mangas that got suggested.

PS: Why was it even called Nodame Cantabile, when Nodame didn't really have much screen, in my opinion? I really wanted some more of her.

For tonight i'm done. I'll see you friday, and then start reading those mangas.

sorry about that i did not pay attention to early post im not aware that it is already suggested (maybe i just get a little excited. but dont' worry this manga become interesting not only on the

Spoiler for :

sex scene

but on the actual story so there's still something that you can actually look forward and how the relationship of the protagonist and heroine develop. In my point of view

Spoiler for :

the sex scene is not the surprize element of what the writer wants to show because it happens lot of time and it did happen on the early chapters (even though still the excitement never fades) you'll understand me once you read it.

[Cold~as~Ice]

Well velvet kiss is only one of the many good manga out there I'll suggest more on Thursday
