Basically looking for manga where the main characters are in a relationship. Preferably right at the start but if they get together at some point that isn't the very last/close to the very last chapter then that works too (like Mars and Yamada and the Seven Witches for example).

Plot doesn't have to be about their relationship struggles either, just as long as they both feature in the story. (The Moonlight That Surrounds Me and Angel Sanctuary come to mind here, although admittedly they were apart for almost the whole thing in the latter but y'know.)

I don't mind if it's het, yaoi, or yuri and I'm cool with smutty work as long as it's not like, 90% nakedness. I'm specifically looking for um--consensual...? self-acknowledged........? something like that--couples so please no arranged marriage/blackmail scenarios.

These are all mostly comedies so I hope you'll like some of them.

Bonnouji
B Gata H Kei
Love Roma
Onidere
Yoningurashi
Aa Megami-sama I really like this but I admit it's very long and gets very repetitive sometimes

Yeah comedies are totally fine (((: Thanks very much for the recs!! Gonna check them all out but Bonnouji, Onidere, and esp Yonigurashi all look really great!

And ahhh I'm with you in the love for Ah Megami-sama, that series was part of my formative years as a budding animanga fan. U v U)

Spotted Flower (You should also check its inspiration Genshiken / Genshiken 2 where romance is relatively fast and fits what you want too)
Yome ga Kore na Monde.

And if you don't mind ecchi :
Love Lucky
Futari Ecchi

Thanks for the recs, ecchi and all. (: Everything looks interesting, but omg an AU Saki/Madarame apparently?!! Definitely checkin that out 0:

Seigi no Mikata
Hapi Mari
Ojousama wa Oyomesama

So you are fine with smutty yaoi too? Then your first choice in this genre should be Haru o Daite Ita. They become a couple living together in vol. 2 (of 14)

Dakara Kimi ga Itoshi n da.
Kinou Nani Tabeta?

This is surprisingly hard!

Kinou Nani Tabeta? (not very plot-centric, though)
Complex (seconding this if you haven't read it)
NANA
Solanin (never read it, but some people really love it)
Fukuyadou Honpo (at least for some of the characters)
Hana Yori Dango (definitely not at first, but from what I remember there's a pretty good chunk at the end where the main relationship is well established)
Private Prince (kinda)
Kozure Ookami (eventually, especially if you count the sequel about the kids)
Kimi wa Petto (kinda counts — without spoiling anything a fair amount of the story focuses on various characters in established romantic relationships... and either way is awesome)

Also this is totally not what you asked for, but fun bonus: Tuxedo Gin!
