Wasn't sure how to name it.
I'm searching for the manga which is pretty much slow-paced, um... hard to explain.
The best examples would be Kare Kano oraz Akaku Saku Koe, or other works by Midorikawa-sensei. I mean a story which has a calm, warm feeling to it, which is just plain "beautiful", where every panel has a meaning... not sure if I can explain it correctly ^^''
- I want romance
- I don't want it to be a oneshot
- I don't want too much drama
I think 3-gatsu no Lion fits pretty much, too.

14 sai no koi The romance is fast, as in they are already in love, but the nature of their romance is gentle and very innocent.

Wow, can't believe no one's suggested Hibi Chouchou yet! I just read the title of this thread and thought "How many people have suggested it yet?..." But no one has! That's my two cents. ^^
And, to whoever suggested Kimi ni todoke, I don't think that fits the bill. There's definitely drama there. In fact, while I used to worship Kimi ni todoke as a masterpiece, I became more experienced with reading manga and realized it's actually not that great a work. The entire plot revolves around unnecessary drama and/or misunderstandings - Take, for example
Woah. o_o I didn't mean for this to turn into a long, spammy rant about Kimi ni todoke... Sorry.... ^^'

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
When Sawako and Kazehaya indirectly confessed to one another. Kazehaya states that he likes her, then says "But my 'like' is different from Kuronuma's 'like', isn't it?" To which Sawako, assuming her love in unrequited, replies "yes". After this, it takes multiple chapters for them to realize their misunderstanding and start dating, and the whole while you see them taking these angst-ty looks at each other and being all "(S)he doesn't like me.... I was rejected so I can't be around them anymore.... But my heart hurts..... :c" Instead of outright confessing.
Since the creator of the thread specified that they didn't want too much drama, I don't think Kimi ni todoke is the best choice.Woah. o_o I didn't mean for this to turn into a long, spammy rant about Kimi ni todoke... Sorry.... ^^'

I think Kimi ni Todoke still fits the bill , but then again that's my opinion, and it's your opinion that it has too much drama.
I read a lot of drama filled mangas and this is one of the lesser drama filled ones.
(I would also like to point out that all 3 mangas the OP used as reference have a drama tag in them.)
Again I feel that Kimi ni Todoke does have drama in it, but definitely not to the extent others can be.
It's really up to Kohane if he want to give this a shot or not.
*I use he as a default sorry if you're female and using he offended you.
(Still thinking on what else to suggest)

I don't want too much drama

Hmmm
Saver- The romance is subtle and really gentle and beautiful. A little drama but worth the read. Takes a few volumes to actually appear but the story itself is amazing.
Superior/Superior Cross- Also subtle but sweet. A little tragic once you know the main characters back story.
Kingyo Sou- They get together early on but its a very beautiful romance. Very heartwarming.
I second Taiyou no Ie.
Dengeki Daisy- Slow, but the main male lead is so gentle and sweet that you know he truly cherishes the main female lead. His tender expressions are to die for.
Akagami no Shirayuki hime- Just read it and is in love. Much better than I thought.

Thanks for you all suggestions!
I only haven't read Emma, Tonari no Megane-kun. and Saver. Going to read them now.
Other than that are all nice mangas that I love ^^
I'm sorry that I don't have my list, which could be easier for you to suggest something for me, but I've just read too much and it's too hard for me to make a list like that ^^''
by the way Dear Mine and also there is Issho Ni Neyou yo too, are the perfect mangas to fit my descripction, so maybe it will help you some bit ^^''
And about Kimi ni Todoke case - I really liked it, and I don't really mind drama in it, since it's small amount
I'm a girl, but using "he" towards me doesn't bother me any bit

If Kimi ni Todoke is drama, i dont know what Nana is.
Anyway, I second Hibi Chouchou and Kingyo Sou too.
Horimiya is nice too. But not so much of "feel". (I think i know what you're talking about).
Maybe Hana-kun to Koisuru Watashi is cute too. I love their honesty.
Aozora Yell
Tomodachi no Hanashi
If you dont mind BL. Seven Days is gorgeous.

Ok more suggestions
Hana no Namae This I believe is beautiful , and one of my favorites. I didn't suggest it at 1st because it may be too dark, and may have a tad too much drama in it. It really left an impression on me.
The other 2 somewhat fit what you're looking for it has the slow romance thing, but everything else may be hit or miss.
Orange Yane no Chiisana Ie
Pochamani (Ongoing)

Hmm, maybe:
Basara? The drama may be a lot due to the fighting and the art is very old, but nevertheless, the plot is really nice and the romance as well.
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan and Tada, Kimi o Aishiteru - Both are really beautiful, or so I thought.
Shinigamihime no Saikon , Hajimari no Niina , Love Com , Last Game , Issho ni Neyou yo , Fruits Basket , Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge - Maybe?
Second Otoyomegatari! Maybe you've already read it but still wanna say it's really nice.
