actually i´m looking for some romance manga with nice art like The one or Nana with at least 5 vol. i hate mangas which are simply to short and the story rushes just to come quickly to an end!
but it´s also ok if it´s some other kind of genre but with beatiful art( cause i´m dying of boredom!! i need something good to reed!!)

i need your help guys!

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle - long XD
Angel Sanctuary
Count Cain + God Child - not the focus but have romance too
Model - you might like this art style
Emma - do I still need to recommend it?
Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori - old but good
Superior - pretty and long enough
Blood Alone - currently 5 volumes
Rozen Maiden - has a bit of romance too?
Karin - long romance, pretty art

The ones that come to mind really quickly are Bride of the Water God and Emma. If you like Clamp style, then Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Also, Hotarubi no Mori E hasn't been mentioned yet.

Not long enough, but the art is so simply stunning that I have to suggest it.

Full moon-great art, sweet story, 7 volumes long.
The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross-Cluttered backgrounds, but romantic ^///^ and 10 volumes.
Imadoki-only 5 volumes, but well drawn, good plot.
ANYTHING BY BANRI HIDAKA IS A MUST!!

Quote from Rainy Days


A lot of those have bad art in my opinion. XD But what's good art is completely subjective. If one is used to common shoujo art, one probably doesn't care. However, I do think a lot of them are way far from being able to compete with the art of Nana and Paradise Kiss.

Another long enough romance with decent art: Destination Heaven Chronicles

yeah. you´re right! beatiful arts really subjective! i already read Paradise Kisse! and the art was just gorgeous! i liked Mars and ES too! But the art in nana and Paradise kiss just blew we away!! i loved the fact that the characters don´t look a like! in the most shojou mangas everybody looks the same! no
( oh! and Claymores is very good too! i love the plot!)

I don't think looking alike is the only (or big) problem. I would suggest these two threads:

What is a bad art?
Unique contemporary manga

I would also recommend Yumekui Kenbun. The art and the story are both good.

Goong- Romance & is currently at 20 volumes. I find the art very humorous and pretty =)

Anything by
Chiba Kozue- Highly Recommend her art!!! Seriously she can draw, all her works are SOO beautifully drawn...I'll be lucky if I can do 1/100 of what she can do XD. Although most of her works/maybe all of her works are under 5 volumes.

Tanemura Arina- Gorgeous art just like Chiba Kozue.
Her works:
Full Moon wo Sagashite
Shinshi Doumei Cross

emma and Emma Bangaihen (sequel) manga from Mori Kaoru
the newest is otoyomegatari still 6 chapter. but if u know mori kaoru's work than the story will be longger that 5 vol. and for the art.... OMG she is a genius. and in otoyomegatari the art become even more better the her previous

i also suggest oh my goddess. the drawing look old school manga at the first few volume (keep in mind that this manga is start at 1988 and still realeasing) but then it become more beautiful... (it's one of that manga that the style evolve). the art is good. and the attention to detail by the mangaka is great.
