What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

I'm looking for Urban Fantasy Anime/Manga.

Quote
"Urban fantasy is a sub-genre of fantasy defined by place; the fantastic narrative has an urban setting. Many urban fantasies are set in contemporary times and contain supernatural elements. However, the stories can take place in historical, modern, or futuristic periods. The prerequisite is that they must be primarily set in a city."


Some examples are B-eyes and maybe Barairo my Honey.
Maybe not Barairo my honey but B-eyes should be pretty fitting in the Urban Fantasy genre. I'd prefer if there are some romantic factors in the manga as well.

Omg...I wrote this very formally, hope I didn't scare ya! wink

I recommend Durarara!!. Both the manga and the anime. It's set in Tokyo and has many supernatural elements.

Kekkaishi sort of fits. Not a huge amount of romance though...
The Breaker and it's sequel The Breaker: New Waves. Not a manga though...
Nurarihyon no Mago From memory, it's in an urban environment but the overal focus wasn't on it.
Noblesse on the whole, not technically a manga but whatever.
Death Note
Gantz not exactly for the light hearted...
xxxHolic I guess it could be considered urban fantasy, but not as well as some of the other ones
Beelzebub
Supernatural Investigation Department still fairly new, but shows promise. Again not a manga...
Trace also webcomic
World Embryo

I hope these are what you were after, most if not all are shounen and I have say I've failed you on the romance bit.
