Looking for something like Sakuran where the main character is an oiran (courtesan). Actually, doesn't have to be an "oiran" per se but even any sort of brothel-based prostitute of any time period, as long as it is the main character who is in this situation. The story has to be from the prostitute's/courtesan's point of view.
Either a male or a female prostitute is fine. (For example, in Sakuran the lead is a female courtesan, but at the same historical time, "kagema" or young male prostitutes also existed. I'm just sayin'.)
Any genre is fine apart from hentai.

Mademoiselle Butterfly
these are two that I can think of off the top of my head, but they're pretty softcore compared to sakuran. Still pretty good reads though.
There may be one or two more I can come up with if I sit down and think about it, but they'd probably nonhistorical.
Edit: Actually, a while back ago I was looking for mangas with prostitutes in them as well, heres the thread.

School of Water Business is kinda related, no one is a courtesan. Just training to enter the sex business.

Nothing else to say but I second this one.

Sora ni Saitara -- the "happy ending" version of Sakuran.
Also, Oooku, which I'm highly anticipating (it's going to be published in English very soon).

I read this one, Kinpeibai Kinden Honoo no Kuchizuke, recently and liked it.
Just editing to let you know it's not hentai but there are a few graphic scenes (yaoi).

12 Nin no Yasashii Koroshiya - Leo Murder Case has a guy who works in a host club and is an assassin at the same time.
Jouou and Kurofuku Monogatari have hostesses.
I am sure almost everything by KURASHINA Ryou is about hosts or hostesses. O_O
Hosts are not really straight-up prostitution but in a sense it is prostitution.
