I really enjoy manga were the two main leads pick on/ tease each other such as in Dengeki Daisy and Blooming. Are there any other shoujo manga with this type of relationship? I'm also open to yaoi.

Edit:
I've also alreadu read Watashi ni xx Shinasai, Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge, Glass Mask, Lovely Complex, and Itazura na Kiss.

Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately I've already read both of those (and loved them). ^^;

i think there's a tag called "bickering love"? you should search that tag.

I've read Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Seiyuu Ka! , but I haven't read Cross Game. Long male-centered sports mangas aren't usually my taste, but if it has the relationship I'm looking for then I'll check it out. smile

gwkimmy- I've looked through some of these, but it takes awhile to see if they have the relationship that I like or if they're good. I'll keep looking though.

How about Spice and Wolf by HASEKURA Isuna? The plot might be economy-driven but the main couple's unresolved sexual tension fuels the undeniably best banter I have seen so far - in both manga and anime.

Another one with great dialogues and lots of teasing is Prunus Girl by MATSUMOTO Tomoki. I really loved this manga for its episodic and hilarious storytelling.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
The premise is a bit unconventional - Aikawa's true gender is actually never clarified - but seeing as you don't mind different sexual orientations, you should give it a try.

My last recommendation would be KAJI Eiri's Keishichou Tokuhanka 007. The story is very light-hearted, and the main characters' interactions with each other are enjoyable to follow but I'm not sure if it is because of their flirting or just because of their chemistry.

Apart from these, you could also try searching for tags like "Flirting" or "Character Who Bullies The One They Love" (I remember a tag called "Character Who Teases The One They Love" which might have just been what you're looking for, but unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared somehow).

not shoujo, but Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami

Sadly, it's gone on hiatus T_T

Prunus Girl , Keishichou Tokuhanka 007, and Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami look great! smile

I had a hard time getting into Spice and Wold because I like a girl as the main character more, but I'll retry it for the banter. Also, thanks for the "flirting" tag suggestion. I didn't think of that.

If you have difficulties warming up to the Spice and Wolf manga, try the anime version first. This way you won't notice too much of the male lead's perspective. I also did that, and I didn't regret it at all. Besides, the opening had already entranced me ^_^
