I'm sick of highschool romances..so can someone suggest a series that isn't set in high school. If posibble the main character isn't 13-16 years old.

preferred:
no Harem
Completely Scanlated (or almost complete)
No borderline H or ecchi (smut is prolly ok)
I'm ok with all josei,seinen,shounen, and shoujo
Im Ok with post-secondary setting and workplace types
Im also ok if it's coming-of-age like..(they start in high school but it progresses to when they get older)

Stuff that i've read:
Nana, Youth Gone Wild, Shuukatsu, Bonnouji, Bara no Tame Ni, Wedding, diamond life, nodame, udon lady, paradise kiss, changeling, Emma, hapi Mari, alexandrite, cousin..etc

That's all! Thanks in advance laugh

Have you tried searching using the 'Genres' or tags? You can include and exclude genres you like/dislike.

Yes, i've tried. But sometimes I miss out on few of the great titles until someone points out it's a good series -____-
Also, is it possible to filter out high school with the genre search option? I tried filtering out school life, but there are good titles set in post-secondary.

Here is a search with all school settings excluded that fits what you want (sorted by rating), I exluded many things to make the search more interesting for you (supernatural, yaoi/yuri, fantasy, etc..) feel free to do one of your own :
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?perpage=50&fil ter=scanlated&genre=Comedy_Romance&exclude_g enre=Action_Adult_Adventure_Doujinshi_Ecchi_Fantasy_Gende r%2BBender_Harem_Hentai_Horror_Lolicon_Martial%2BArts_M echa_Mystery_Psychological_School%2BLife_Sci-fi_Shotacon_S houjo%2BAi_Shounen%2BAi_Sports_Supernatural_Yaoi_Yuri& orderby=rating

Here is another but focused on post-secondary school setting :
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?perpage=50&ca tegory=Post-Secondary%2BSchool&filter=scanlated&g enre=Comedy_Romance&exclude_genre=Action_Adult_A dventure_Doujinshi_Ecchi_Fantasy_Gender%2BBender_Harem_ Hentai_Horror_Lolicon_Martial%2BArts_Mecha_Mystery_Psych ological_Sci-fi_Shotacon_Shoujo%2BAi_Shounen%2BAi_Sports_ Supernatural_Yaoi_Yuri&orderby=rating

But you're right it will definitely miss some titles, maybe because the genre/tags were not added. For example Honey & Clover won't show up since it doesn't have the Comedy genre (which doesn't make much sense to me for it has as much drama as comedy imho). Still it's a good start.

If you're interested I did a search based on the few things you mentioned you didn't want and got this:

I can recommend from that list: Skip Beat!, Hoshi no Samidare (though it's not romance-centric), Beck (again not romance-centric), 1/2 prince (a bit of reverse harem there), Molester Man (reading it right now. It's awesome!), Sekitou Elergy and Orange Yane no Chiisana Ie (about a single mom and a single dad, really sweet).

Romance isn't really my genre and what I do read usually involves high school so I don't have many ideas, sorry.
