I'm looking for an arts themed, romances manga. What i mean by arts themed is for either the main character or love interest to be skilled at some sort of visual or performing arts such as painting or drawing or music or designing etc or for the manga to have some sort of visual/performing arts theme like being set at a performing arts school or the characters are bought together due to their love for a particular painting or something along those lines.

No hentai and preferably no ecchi (unless its a really good series)
Series i have already read include
Mars
Ashita no Ousama
Cat Street
Paradise
Nodame Cantabile

Thankyou, and I apologise if my request is a little bit vague. I am happy to provide more details if needed ^.^

Hmm...maybe Audition? I haven't read it, but it sounds about right.

thanks i'll have a look at the series but it doesn't seem like there is very much romance in the series based on the synopsis?

doll
moon child the main guy is a dancer

Honey and Clover seems to fit what you want, and it's a pretty interesting story.

Kiwametsuke Gakuya Ura Ouji (Backstage Prince)

________________

Audition used to have the 'romance' tag in both MU and Mangafox databases- but recently, someone seems to have taken it off.
Sorry for recommending it without checking.

To stay on topic; maybe Chocolat and Beck fit.

Glass Mask, although the romance is secondary to the draaaaama.
Hoshi wo Tsumu Donna
Toe Shoes
Applause
Venus Cappriccio
Free Soul
Orange Chocolate
Veins

That's all I can think of for now.

Thanks for all the suggestions there seem to be quite a few interesting series there ^^
