I'm looking for a manga where the main character discovers a deep passion for something, could be anything like art, theater, cooking, sport, etc. It would be great if their passion was involved with their job and they followed their dream to work in that career, but can also just be a hobby. It should preferably be shoujo or, even better, josei, and romance would be great but not necessary.

I've had a look round some threads about acting, music, hobbies, etc., and would also appreciate being pointed to similar threads which might fulfil my request.

Examples of what I'm looking for:

Ashita no Ousama: josei about scriptwriting with romance, exactly the kind of thing I want
Honey Hunt: girl gains passion for acting (shoujo)
Nodame Cantabile: main character has a huge passion and talent for music (josei)

Reading and complete lists are public.

Thanks in advance~

I agree with Glass Mask and Honey Hunt especially since I noticed [m]Skip Beat[/m] on your list.

The sequel to Ingenuo - Steel Rose has a passion in a way his love for her(?)

Fushigi Yugi-the four gods and a girl's journey to save the country(Shojo)
S*A-school and being number 1(well, number 2)(shojo)

Bakuman? They're pursuing different things, but they're (the jobs/careers) are related to each other. I'm not sure if it fits completely, but I recommend it nonetheless.
