Here's the real deal... i've been reading manga that has some/mostly romance plot within them... and right now, since im waiting for the next release of those manga that i have been reading, i feel bored. so guys, can you give me some suggested manga that has the following criteria: (oh by the way, if there's already a topic with the same as mine, just paste the link so that i can visit them)

1. the manga must have a serious love settings, wherein there's conflict that arises between different characters, like third party, or childhood friends but the guy or girl met another person, or one side or both sides can't express their feelings, thus resulting to losing the other person. i don't care if its sports oriented manga or not.
2. artwork must be neat. i'll give you some manga that i've read.. hope those artwork will be atleast the same as those i give.
3. the guy or girl will strive on the path chosen no matter what the obstacle in order to gain the attention of the other party.
4. i don't care if there's ecchi or not. as long as its not yuri or yaoi.
5.i don't care if the main character is a girl or a guy. also as long as its not horror. no gender bender pls.

So, here's the manga that i have read, hope it will help:
Suzuka
Smash!
Ichigo 100%
[m]Toradora[/m]
Love Hina
Zippy Ziggy
Ane Doki
Air Gear
GE
School Rumble
IO
Midori no Hibi

Adarushan no Hanayome, cute romance, short, complete, a bit less romance focused, more drama-y
Hana Yori Dango art looks a bit old but is clean, complete
Skip Beat, shiny art, romance takes a while to appear
Alice 19th, a bit more action-y than typical romance, complete
Hot Gimmick
Backstage Prince another cute romance, short &complete
Mars, serious romance, long and dramatic (and somewhat angsty at times), complete
Merupuri, cute, wonderful art (from the mangaka of Vampire Knight), complete
Red River a bit more action oriented romance, old (80s-90s) shoujo style art, complete

This is what I recommend in another topic, I'm recycling it
I's
Akuma Jiten
Inumimi
Chokotto Sister
DearS
Dei Ecchi Ei

Other stuff:
Mahoraba, Mahou Sensei Negima!, Watashitachi no Tamura-kun

What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:

You listed shounen, but if you're OK with shoujo, I think you might like the stories behind Honey & Clover and Sunadokei.

H&C has a very unique art style, so it's not going to be like the ones you've listed. Sand Chronicles is more typical shoujo art-style (softer) than shounen, but the stories are pretty realistic on the life/romance side.

Oh, and I agree with Negima, and you might also like Mai-HiMe and DNAngel. DNAngel is a shoujo, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. It looks shounen.

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

you only listed shounen but these shojo mangas are really good:

Tokyo Crazy Paradise a must read!! (Its the same author as
skip beat) but the art is older
Cat Street Really good !!
Bitter Virgin
Absolute Boyfriend nice reading
