I'm looking for something that has action, thick and awesome plot, and romance as a BIG part of the plot not just a sideline (and developed nicely too). Badass as in it that doesn't really shy away from ugly stuffs. Characters should be likable and have strong personalities. Preferably completed and not rushed/axed, I don't mind tragedies. Can be any genre except yaoi/yuri/shounen ai/shoujo ai, harem, and minimum ecchi if there's any.

Precisely what I'm looking for:
Basara
Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Immortal Rain

Stuffs that should fit but not what I'm looking for:
Red River, male lead has bad characterization and little character development imo
Hoshi no Samidare, great plot but the 'romance' left me cold
Kanata Kara, not badass enough
Dragon Kishidan, can't stand the art
Superior, the romance didn't develop nicely, plot is mediocre
Youko x Boku SS, I like it but distracted by too much cutesy in the middle
Rave, not enough romance, the plot isn't really exceptional either, I like it tho
Reimei no Arcana, fizzled out towards the end, I don't really like love triangle with second-male-lead-loves-the-main-girl-till-the-end-of-time trope, and I don't get good vibes from the male lead...

Thank you smile

I couldn't think of anything that would fit perfectly, but perhaps try Saver (good even though ending is a little rushed). And although it isn't complete, Akatsuki no Yona is heading that way (technically tagged as Harem, but not really).

3x3 Eyes
Battle Royale
Bloody Monday < though 2&3 are what your looking for. Starting at the beginning is good though.
Chrno Crusade
Dance in the Vampire Bund < Personal favorite though it ends soon.
Erementar Gerad < good story, a better epilogue would've been nice though.
Flame of Recca Good, but it's like RAVE in the romance dept.
Mai-Hime
Outlanders < Personal Favorite. I've read it a few times over the years.
Psyren
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle < Confusing, a lot!
Watashi no Messiah-sama < Favorite
Zero In < Fun and drama - with romance in the second half
Yu Yu Hakusho

To name a few.... These are the ones I've picked from my Completed List. I have a ton of great romance manga series, but these are the majority of them that have both great action, story, and romance. Let me know what you think and I'll get you a good list of other romance that are good, but with less action and more drama. eyes
