Your public reading list is really long but it has a few manga that are my taste. The first that comes to mind is Honey Hunt b/c love triangle and tension but you have already read that.

I would recommend a few of my favorites
After School Nightmare - just read it, I promise it is really good.
Savage Garden - gender bender with nice art
The Embalmer - romance that builds up but has some really intense moments


Let me know what you think

similar to Skip Beat: Glass Mask, Ashita no Ousama both are not really romance manga though.

similar to Private Prince, try other works of that same author. And Oujisama no Kanojo but it's categorized as harem.

Try Midnight Secretary, Miracle Girls, Akuma to Love Song, Honey, Wild Act.

or this author YOSHIHARA Yuki

Hidden identity: Ingenuo, Hana Kimi, W Juliet, [m]Uwasa no Midori-kun[/m]

unrequited love: Baby Love

hidden secret: Kare Kano, Mars, Sabbath Cafe (but the last one is lacking of romance and more on the psychological stuff

Help! I'm looking for... manga with dangerous guys http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=39874&pa ge=1#post594033

How about Honey Hunt?

________________


*__* I'll have what she's having... please~♥

After School N.- i read it, but....well...hm...i don't know. To tell truth it was weird I don't dislike it, but i can't say i like it
Savage garden-
The Embalmer- seems interesting

Thank you



Already read: W Juliet, Ingenuo, Hana Kimi, Midnight secretary(i love this one -have to reread- thanks for reminding ),

YOSHIHARA Yuki and ENJOUJI Maki (private prince) are my favorite mangakas (along with few more like Minase Masara)

I'll definitely try Ashita no Ousama, Oujisama no Kanojo(looks yummy), Akuma to love s., Honey, Mars, Wild Act, Uwasa no Midori-kun!!

Glass Mask- I don't like art here ,but story seems good..so..maybe

Thanks a lot


I read 1st vol and i love it, but now i'm holding back until it's finished- too cruel to wait for next chapt.

Real Clothes (Manga): Kinue is a saleswoman in the futon section of a department store. Despite her plain clothes and poor makeup, she ends up being transferred to the women's clothing department, where she has to be trained by her extraordinarily fashionable boss. Needless to say, a makeover is in order. [Took some time to get into but is now getting really good, I cant wait for the next chapter.] Genre: Drama, Josei, Romance, Slice Of Life

The One (Manga): Lele was born into the fashion industry. Both her parents were models, and they both die in a tragic airplane crash leaving a 5-year-old Lele orphaned. Therefore, it is no surprise that Lele hates the industry, thinking it’s superficial and unnecessary!

Raised by her maternal grandmother, Lele reaches seventeen years of age before she is sucked in when her mother's sister – a fashion model agent and former model, convinces the reluctant Lele to model. Lele had been adverse to the whole idea, until she sees a photo shoot of popular American model Angus Lanson, and she begins to see modeling as an art form.

When Aunt Fei's magazine editor invites Angus Lanson to a meeting of all the top fashion ambassadors, a curious Lele is invited to meet him. She does not know that Angus' twin elder brother, Eros Lanson, is secretly accompanying his brother. This obviously leads to confusion and is the start of a charming story of Lele's goals: fashion in NYC, becoming a top model, and…love Genre: Comedy, Drama, Mature, Psychological, Romance, Shoujo, Slice Of Life


Glass Mask (Manga/Anime): Chigusa Tsukikage holds the rights to the play "The Crimson Goddess," a lost masterpiece that many would love to see brought back to the stage. Tsukikage, however, won't allow the cherished work to be diminished by an actress who isn't worthy of playing the title role. Fortunately, she has found two young actresses that just might be worthy: Maya Kitajima and Ayumi Himekawa. Though both actresses are exceptionally talented, only one can win the coveted role. [It follows one main character, the description was kind of confusing there. Love it.] Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Shoujo


Ingenuo (Manga): Ding Jiayu dreams of being a photographer. Her idol is none other than Yung Jo. When Yung Jo’s photography company holds an audition to find a new photographer, Jiayu decides to take a chance. The thing is, Yung Jo’s company doesn’t hire women, so Jiayu has no choice but to dress up as man and enter. Yung Jo takes great interest in Jiayu's talent and makes her his apprentice. It may seem like a dream to work with your idol, but for Jiayu, it's nothing of the sort. She takes a beating from Yung Jo everyday, and since all the crew members think she is a guy.
