Im looking for a manga with a really great/well written romance in it but isnt the main subject of the manga.
Put another way: I really like adventure and/or action mangas spiced with a bit of romance.
Ive read Superior, Watashi no Messiah-sama
and a few others...
I dont mind if its Mature or Ecchi so long as there is no Yaoi or Yuri.
Thanks in advance
(if there are any threads like this one already feel free to direct me to them instead)

Hmm, a difficult request.
Check out Kurohime, if you haven't already. The romance (and most everything else that makes it a good manga) doesn't kick in in full force until like the fifth volume though.
Other than that, you could maybe look at Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge, though the romance probably is the real point there. And Vampire Juujikai or Shin Angyo Onshi might work if tragic romance is okay.

For now, all I can think of is Ga-Rei.
EDIT:
Rappi Rangai
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
I don't know if these are really GREAT romances but here's what I got.

Quote from flawful
I second Happy! (Ugh, though, has it had any real romance yet?)

Double Arts would have been, but it's just disappointing since it was discontinued abruptly. =(

ack!! How could I forget THIS!?!!
Princess!! Best Manwha EVER! It tells the reader THREE generations of Royal families. Loads of politics, romance and scandals. I feel like it's a retelling of Napoleon bonaparte's life or that british medieval times!
