Hi!
I'm looking for a romance manga (or manhwa, as long as it has good art) to read. I've read lots of them and now I'm really picky. I'm tired of cliched plots, stupid main characters... You know, the usual stuff. I tried to look for new mangas with the Advanced Search by Genre, but I already read most of those. I also tried to search by categories, but I didn't find anything interesting.
It must:
- Have good art
- Have original plot and not a cliched one
- Not be too long (not more than 30 volumes)
- Be sort of recent (after 2000)
I hate:
- Shoujo-ai, shounen-ai
- Yuri, yaoi, hentai
- Lolicon, shotacon
- Mechas
- Gender bender
- Incest
- Future related stuff
I don't mind if it's a shoujo, a josei, a shounen or a seinen, although I prefer shoujo and josei. I don't mind as well smut or mature (as long that it has plot) or fantasy/supernatural related stuff. Also, I prefer mangas that were already completely scanlated, unless it's something amazing.
Please, don't suggest anything that is in my lists. They are all public and categorized.

Chokotto Sister.
Otomegatari
Miman Renai
Sukimasuki

There're certain elements you might not like (they're only minor though),
but those are really good titles (at least for me).
It's not lovely-dovey romance and that's what makes them good, I think.

I'd say Mars and Souryo Fuyumi's Boyfriend, too, but they go more into the mainstream.

Hope it helps~

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Whoa, you have a very organised list (I was quite dissapointed to see Arisa as your low interest... oh well). ^^

I suggest you read (these are some of my all-time favourites):

Onani Master Kurosawa - Do not be disturbed by the description, it's fantastic!
After School Nightmare
Emma
Otomegatari
Heart no Kuni no Alice
Oyasumi Punpun
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Cat Street
Torikagoshou no Kyou mo Nemutai Juunintachi
Kagen no Tsuki

I guess you could try recently started China Girl

Itadakimasu if you're in the mood for hilarious smut. The mangaka's art is one of my favorites.

Current Favorite:Seishun For-get!
Manga That Needs More Attention: S Senjou no Tena

Honey and Clover - It really shows, how troublesome love can be. I recommend it.

Hana no Namae and I'm Coming to See You Now are two romances you absolutely mustn't miss.

Dawn of the Arcana, Blue Ramun and Apothecarius Argentum are heart-throbbing romances, too. <3

Unbalance×2 really great story, but it's on hiatus...
Nana to Kaoru there's romance, but not the kind you'd expect.... it's very ecchi.

Strongly recommend the last 2 but they are incomplete...

Dengeki Daisy! A very popular shoujo manga and I've read it just recently. There were many moments when I thought that a certain thing should happen, like in cliche shoujo. And then the story emphasized totally different and funny! Yup, there's comedy, too.

Best options:

Second Nana to Kaoru as the best choice.
Else

Nazo no Kanojo X (Boy likes strange girl)

Itoshi no Kana (Guy loves ghost)

Other good mangas:

B-Shock (University students)

KissxSis (not realy incest if there aren't blood bounds, harem)

Nyan Koi! (Cats lovers)

Koi Neko (Neko Girls, in an innocent way)

Anedoki (Kid loves High school girl)
