What I want:

*satisfying romance (I left this open to interpretation, I'd like to see what you consider satisfying)

*strong male AND female lead (weak to strong is also good)

*female protagonist

*older male, younger female

*happy ending (where they actually stay together)

*no yuri, yaoi, shounen/shojo-ai, hentai, smut, etc.

*obstacles to the relationship--either internal or external--that are conquered

*I love a good chase, flirting, rivalry, etc.




I'm pretty loose in terms of genre--as long as it's a satisfying romance, I don't really care what it's centered on. I'm just really craving a satisfying romance where I'm really rooting for the couple and feel something about the characters. I have my lists set to private, so feel free to recommend anything--I promise not to bite your head off if I've already read it wink Thank you!

Hoshi no Samidare

Male protagonist, but the female steals the show.

Bonnouji is really satisfying, don't remember who was the older one though...
Dengeki Daisy should fit, no ending yet but at least they're together
I think you'll like Orange Marmalade

This Tokimeki Tonight is satisfying
the story tells about their highschool life until marriage
it's very funny and interesting. I don't usually read shoujo manga, but this one is an exception

I've skimmed over the descriptions of all the suggestions--they all seem to have a ton of promise.

@KissTheStars: I read Hanbun wa Ai de Dekitemasu first since it was a one shot and it was adorable--I really liked that one.

@ForteAtrox: I read the first chapter of Yume Miru Taiyou. I'm not a fan of the art style, but I'll definitely come back since I've read that it gets much better later on and I won't back off just because of that. So, thank you.

@sunder: I started Hoshi no Samidare a while back but ended up putting it down. I can't remember why I did since I've heard such good things about it and don't remember it being bad at all. I'll pick it up again and see how it works out.

@sarah-eats-cupcakes: Does Heart o Uchinomese! have a lot of inappropriate scenes or does it focus more on the relationship and how the girl conveys her love to the guy?

@Lorska: I actually have all of your suggestions in my lists--so you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I was waiting for both Bonnouji and Orange Marmalade to be completed before I started, but I might just ignore it since I'm interested and impatient to start them. heh.

@whatnot: Tokimeki Tonight sounds pretty cute. I don't really like the art style, but if you made an exception for it, it must be pretty good. So, I'll give it a try! Thank you.

Thanks, everyone! Please feel free to post any other suggestions should you come across something great. smile

Is Strobe Edge on any of your lists? I found it very satisfying as a shoujo manga, just as I had Kare Kano.
