Hello!
I'm looking for a anime/manga that is mainly about romance. If possible I would like it to have some drama in it, and moments that has "play your heart" kind of feels (if that makes sense).
The most of the anime/manga I've watched/read were always in school or a slice of life thing. If it's a different genre like fantasy, sci-fi, or anything with a good romance in it will do too!
School/Slice of Life manga/anime ex: Kimi Ni Todoke, Ouran High School Host Club
Other genre ex: Fairy Tail (Natsu x Lucy, Gajeel x Levy, or Juvia x Gray), No Game No Life (Sora x Stephanie Dola)
[I know in the 'Other genre' example it's not mainly on romance and the couples are not really "finalized", but they do have their moments which is good enough for me lol.]
Manga/Anime I've seen/read:
Kimi Ni Todoke ( Romance was kind of slow and repetitive, but overall nice!)
Skip Beat!
Ao Haru Ride
Kamisama Hajimemashita ( Loved!)
Tobari No Kaibutsu-kun
Say I Love You
Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji ( I liked how the guy rejected and didn't like the girl at first.)
Kaichou Wa Maid-sama!
Hiyokoi
Gakuen Alice
Fruits Basket
Lovely Complex ( Loved!)
Special A
Strobe Edge
Hana Kimi
Heroine Shikkaku
Ookamidomo no Shitsukekata
Nishiki-kun no Nasugamama
Nisekoi
Horimiya ( I liked the art!)

hmm.. im not sure if these exactly have "play your heart kind of feels" but give them a try haha.
Last Game the main lead is the cutest thing ever and the female lead is soo dense, but its a hilarious and cute manga.
Dengeki Daisy funny and cute. The manga's already been finished in japan (and in the official US translations) but the scanlations aren't there yet
Beast Master by the same author as dengeki daisy, it's short but its great
Hirunaka No Ryuusei This one gave me feels. It's a student-teacher relationship, just saying in case you don't like those.
You could try [m] Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun[/m] it's more comedy than romance so maybe not to what you're asking? It's 4-panel so you can finish it quickly. (It also has an ongoing anime right now)

Orange marmalade (webtoon)
What happens to a female vampire trying to live a normal school life as a human when she meets the most popular boy in school and nips his neck? the love story of a vampire girl. The boy fell in love first though. Its full colored and really good
Soredemo sekai wa utsukushi (has an Anime too, and good songs on it !!)
Nike, the fourth princess of the Rain Dukedom and one who holds the power to call forth the rain, travels to the Sun Kingdom to marry Sun King Livius for her country, despite her own reluctance. She soon discovers that the King, who conquered the world in only three years after his ascendance to the throne, is still a child!! Furthermore, for trivial reasons, he has demanded that Nike call forth the rain…!?
Love so Life (cute story, loveable heroine)
Shiharu is a high school student who loves kids, lives in an orphanage, and works at a daycare... Until the handsome uncle of two-year-old twins offers her a raise if she'll be their babysitter. Often relying on memories of her mother's actions for guidance, Shiharu quickly finds herself falling in love with her new makeshift family.
Arakure
Sachie Wakamura just lost her mother, and her estranged grandfather has shown up to take care of her. The only problem is that Grandpa is the head of a yakuza gang! Sachie tries to continue living her normal life, but she can't run far since Rakuto, one of the most popular guys in school, is part of her grandfather's gang and her new protector. Soon, Sachie finds herself falling for her bodyguard. But she's the granddaughter of Rakuto's boss, so she can never show her feelings for him. Can Sachie find a way to fit into her new family and seize her chance at romance?
Shinobi Life
Many, many years ago, a ninja named Kagetora devoted his life to protecting Princess Beni (”Beni-Hime”). Unfortunately, they were attacked and Kagetora was flung into a lake, and sank to the bottom… And is somehow warped to the future where he sees the princess Beni being kidnapped.
Little does Kagetora know that Beni is not the real princess, but rather her descendant. Beni, on the other hand, thought that Kagetora was just a cosplayer. Beni, the daughter of a rich man has already been kidnapped a hundred times already... But fear not because Kagetora is here. Will Kagetora be able to go back to the past, or will he remain by Beni’s side forever?

Good romances, but didn't sway my heart as the above.

Koukou Debut
Comedy / Romance / School Life / Shoujo / Slice Of Life / Sports
Haruna Nagashima devoted herself to softball during middle school. Now that she is in high school, Haruna believes its time to find a boyfriend. Unfortunately, she didn't pay attention to the latest trends and is clueless on how to attract a boy. Through a fortuitous event, Haruna encounters popular upperclassman, You Komiyama. Haruna asks You to teach her how to become attractive and snatch a boy's heart. You agrees but with one catch: she can't fall in love with him.
Tomodachi no Hanashi
Romance / School Life / Shoujo
Eiko is something of a plain-looking doormat, while her best friend Moe is a head-turning beauty. Despite their differences, their friendship is strong as ever.
Guys are always asking Moe out, but she invariably replies, “Only if you promise to put Eiko before me.”
If I can recall anymore romance manga series, I will up-date the little list!
Good luck with the search.
