I'm looking for a story where the main character gains more friends or followers as the story goes on. I'd like the story to have hint or a lot of romance. I've read Imadoki!, Basara and [m]Mahou Sensei Negima![m] just to name a few to give an idea.

Please no yaoi, yuri, or ecchi.

Thanks for the help

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Yandere Kanojo

First off, I would like to second Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Oresama Teacher. Also - The following Mangas have mostly a romantic storyline, but are at the same time more focused on friendship than your "usual Shoujo Manga" in my eyes:

* Ao Haru Ride and Strobe Edge
* Chihayafuru
* Five
* Kimi ni Todoke
* Koi dano Ai dano and the prequel Warau Kanoko-sama
* Principal
* Suki-tte Ii na yo

Completed:
* Beast Master and Otokomae! Beads Kurabu
* BxB Brothers
* Bushidou Sixteen - No romance, but a nice read about friendship
* Hyakujuu Kingdom
* I ♥ HS
* Koukou Debut
* Kimi ga Suki - Maybe, it's been a while ...
