Unique Romance/Shoujo with unique characters needed!
Well I know, I know there are lots of those topics already and I read them. Though it seems like I'm a little picky if it comes to romance.. That's why the other threads don't help me very much. And I've seen/tried a lot already, which might also be a problem ^^;
Okay so here comes my list with favs, likes and dislikes. I would be very thankful if you could help me out here ^^; Favourites: Card Captor Sakura Fruits Basket Koukou Debut (Manga.. wish there was an anime of this) Victorian Romance Emma Ouran High School Host Club Skip Beat Lovely Complex Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) Earl and Fairy Howls moving Castle Marmelade Boy (Manga/Anime was exaggerated) Fullmoon wo Sagashite Chrno Crusade MeruPuri (Manga) Likes: Vampire Knight Chobits (though I usually don't like this stuff; but Chobits is kind of an original, when I watched it this sort of romance was still "new") Kimi Ga Nozumo Eien (though you have to be in the mood to watch this) Alice Gakuen Romeo x Juliet Erementar Gerade Okays: Midori no Hibi Onegai Teacher Asatte no Houkou Elfen Lied Fushigi Yugi Ayashi no Ceres Peach Girl Aishiteruze baby bokura ga ita Kare Kano Itazura na Kiss Dislikes: Love Hina Da Capo Nana (Liked it a lot in the beginning, but turned into a soap opera with a lot of switching) DearS (cheap copy of Chobits) Hand Maid May Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Characters lack personality..) 100% Ichigo Onegai Twins Negima Suzumiya Haruhi School Rumble Sailor Moon Dropped because I lost interest (too slow development or characters/Storyline that were/became boring): Perfect Girl Evolution (In the beginning I loved it.. but it became more and more boring..) La Corda D'Oro (no development at all) Nodame Cantabile (It's funny and nice but not as a romance) Suzuka Saiunkoku Monogatari Kaleido Star X Hana Yori Dango (just tooooo long..) Well I don't really know if this is it.. there might be some I've seen and forgot to list. And I would prefer anime suggestions ^^ |

Hachimitsu to Clover ?
If you're okay with manga, I think the manga that was also created by the creator of Fruits basket (I think it's Hoshi wa utau. . ) is also a great series to read. And Crossroad from Shioko Mizuki is also a good manga with many unique character.

I will second Honey and Clover here, sounds perfect for you.
Also, you should try REC, Kanon, Hanasakeru Seishōnen, Glass Mask, Seto no Hanayome and Ultra Maniac (a mix of Card Captor Sakura and Marmalade Boy). |

REC is very well done with realistic characters and a bit more of a "realistic" relationship. The anime is very short though, haven't gotten around to reading the manga, but I've heard it is much longer.
Plus the two main characters are young working adults so it's not a typical school romance. |

You need to get a dose of Princess Tutu ASAP! It's very unique, and there is hints of romance, plot and characterwise. As well, it has to do with fairytale (think Brothers grimm, not disney) elements and is a well crafted story. It also is about ballet, even if you know nothing about ballet or even like it, you'll enjoy it
Special A might be good aswell, so I second that. You might even like Ghost Hunt if your into spooky stories, etc.

I really like Penguin Revolution (manga). I think the characters and story are both unique. It is a complete series and runs 7 books total.
I also think you would like like Magical x Miracle (manga). This is also a completed series and runs for 6 books. |
