Hey there!
I'm currently reading Nana (volume 10) and I really like it. Unfortunately it'll soon be finished and I can't find any romance manga like it. I like the maturity of the story, and the "real" feel to it. The problem is that I can't stand mangas where it takes 2 or 3 volumes for anything to happen. That's why I'm asking you for suggestions.
Recommend me something good! Something romantic, with some drama. Comedy is fine but I really get the feeling that once you've read a comic manga, you've seen all there is to see; so in the end comedy annoys me.
The most important thing though would be maturity, it HAS to be a mature story with mature characters (I know Nana has some pretty imature characters but I can live with it, as long as every character does not drown in their stupidity...).

Thanks!

Honey and Clover, hands down. My favorite anime of all time. Everyone must watch now.

Thanks for the recommendations, keep 'em coming!

Is the Honey & Clover manga liscensed? 'Cause I can't find any scanlations on the 'net.
