You might like these mangakas: Yoneda Kou, Hidaka Shoko, Suzuki Tsuta I would suggest this for good scenes, Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yume o Miru but the art might not be your style.

Yep, most yaoi doesn't have anything new to offer Also, thank you for the suggestions, definately going to check them all out. P.S. luminousbrink: I kind of like that style

Or better yet, is the Yaoi part even relevant, or are you just looking for a good romance series? Yeah, I will have to agree more or less, since everyone might consider something else as "good" points within the storyline or plot. So, basically: * Which genre are you looking for? -> It has to be a romantic story, but should there also be some Smut elements? -> The comparison with the Yaoi genre means, there should be some parts similar to it? -> If so, then which parts exactly? ... And so on. ^^" Aside from this - I just finished Mars yesterday. The drawing style matches the 90's, but the story was quite catchy and includes some well-executed drama parts, revolving around a romance main theme. Maybe it will be worth a look? ________________ "It's like love is a bonus in your life. Even without it, I'm just fine. I don't feel like pointlessly searching for it.

If you're looking for het smut with a decent storyline, I'd suggest Yoshihara Yuki. Also, please provide some info on what you consider a 'good story'. Your request is too generic. ________________ And if the world were black and white You would be my rainbow in shades of grey. Save your files! Click n' play HotCakes needs J-E translators!
