I'm looking for a shoujo/josei manga with a slow romance between a guy and a girl that first met when they were kids (anywhere from elementary to highschool). The manga should follow them over the years as their lives and relationships become more complicated.

So what I want is:
- slow romance
- age progression / time skips
- character growth
- realistic romance (small, simple love triangles, realistic love rivals)
- psychological would be a plus

manga that ive read that fit the bill PERFECTLY: Oboreru Knife, Bokura ga Ita, Sunadokei, Piece

so anybody know any more mangas like those three? the characters dont necessarily have to grow into adults, or even end up together, but the plot should at least span a few years =)

PS: ive tried using the tags mentioned above to no avail

thanks in advance

Last Game starts in elementary school and is now in college. And it's taking quite a long time for the girl to come around. ^^

Game Over (MIZUTANI Fuka) - considering the length of the manga it's not exactly slow romance, but should fit otherwise

Taiyou no ie?

Boku no Hatsukoi o Kimi ni Sasagu. I wasn't a huge fan of this one - I wanted it to be more serious than it was, and the art annoyed me somewhat - but it's not a bad manga, and it definitely meets your specifications.
