Hi what im looking for is Mecha this time, what i want is manga that follows the same sort of line as any of these:

Gundam series - Gundam Seed and Gundam 00 are my favorite of the Gundam series, and i loved basically every aspect of them (its what got me into the mecha genre to start with)
-------------------------------------------------------
IS - i like the fact that the MC is the only guy able to pilot the female only mech suit
------------------------------------------------------
Break Blade - with this 1, what i like is the fact that the MC is the "weakest" yet is the only 1 able to control the "strongest" mecha
------------------------------------------------------
Full Metal Panic! - i like the militarization in this 1
------------------------------------------------------
Koukyou Shihen Eureka Seven - i like the fact that the mech is "alive" and helps bring the male and female MC's together (you will understand what i mean if you read it or watched the anime)
------------------------------------------------------

*I would prefer a manga over an anime, my laptop sucks when it comes to watching videos dead *
What i want is: - *=necesary
PLOT*
Comedy - not so much that it becomes a gag manga
Action - some good fight scenes would be nice
Romance subplot
Complete/Being Scanlated* - either complete or actively scanlated, (no point reading a manga you cant finish)

Please NO -
Yaoi
Yuri
Shoujo
Shounen Ai
Shoujo Ai
Rape
Hentai
Doujin
Smut
Gender Bender
- this is ok ONLY if its girl dressed as guy
Gore - (a little is fine but i don't want it to be like Gantz)

@fizfiz91, xailah, gss93 Thanks, all the ones that are adapted to manga ill check out first since my laptop sucks for watching anime online (bad buffer and skips alot)

@mu2020 i know there is the category for mecha but that doesn't give me what others like, and just basing off description from category search can be a big mistake lol (found a few where desc sounds good but it ends up being an uber trap) also vise versa (bad desc but good series)

I also second the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's a fun series with lots of explosions and mayhem~

There are classics like:
Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm enjoying the movie remakes(?) atm (first movie was a bit rushed though).
Outlaw Star is entertaining and pretty funny.
Gundam Wing if you haven't seen it already~and Gundam Unicorn

Code Geass is pretty popular.
Raxephon was a weird series dead

Unfortunately, I can't give you manga recommendations. I haven't read much mecha manga that seems to meet your criteria besides Break Blade no
Pluto was great but I doubt it is what you are looking for. sad

thanks, ive watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, but didnt like it, i done like seeing kids going insane after driving giant living robot/aliens

also i started watching [m]Raxephon[/m] but got sidetracked by a naruto marathon and lost the episode i was on XD, gunna start it again

i might give Outlaw Star a go, im gunna check the 4 manga chapters available first before trying the anime to see if i like it, also i cant see any "Mecha" tags on it or in either description

also your right Pluto isnt what im looking for, i didnt like its "Adapted From" (Astro Boy either, to be honest i didnt really like any of TEZUKA Osamu's work

but again thanks
