Well, like the title says, I'm looking for some interesting romance manga.

I'm tired of a girl going to a new school, seeing a cool guy, they fall in love, bam! End of manga.

I want something that will captivate me, something wih an actual storyline, and not just flowers and bubbles around cute guys.

For an example, Moe Kare!! was pretty good. ^^

Thanks to anyone who can help~

(Yes, I have read VK, Shinigami Lovers, Ouran, etc.)

Well I can help you on the links.

For instance when adding a manga you want, just type in the manga in its exact name. Than put the brackets [m][/m] around it.

For instance ["m"]Bleach["/m"]

Without the apostrophes it should like Bleach. The [m] button can do this for you.

Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu
is pretty good.
Akuma no Ororon
not nessisarily a strictly romance manga, but it's too good to pass up.
Koi Kaze
More of the shounen/seinen genre, but still an awsome romance if you have an open mind

I'm not sure I know exactly what you're looking for... I haven't read Moe Kare or any of the others you mentioned except Ouran.

But to list some that I really enjoy... Lovely Complex, High School Debut, I Hate You More Than Anyone (my favourite favourite manga that I seek out any and all opportunities to recommend... ), Jun'ai Tokkou Taichou! (published as Love Attack), Kimi ni Todoke, Love Catalog, Sugar Sugar Rune, Kare Kano, The Devil Does Exist, Oyayubihime Infinity, Kaze Hikaru, Shinobi Life... are all fun and cute and interesting stories. Also, YAZAWA Ai has pretty interesting, complex stories and great, stylish art. Hopefully this gives you some ideas to take a look at!

Beast Master
Bitter Virgin
Akuma to Love Song

Thanks everyone. ^^ I'll check these out.

And thanks to Emperorpogi for the help with the links~

I'm not much of a Shoujo reader, but Mars is my top recommendation. I may be a bit biased because it's has similarities to my own life story.... but it's a genuine, REAL romance.... not the "kyaaa! he's sooo cool and I looove him" type. The art may not be as complex as newer titles, but the facial expressions have the ability to portray emotion and feelings better than any other shoujo/josei manga.

Agree with those who suggested Bitter Virgin, Kare Kano Koi Kaze.

Don't agree about Yazawa Ai manga.... the older ones are ok, but the new ones are too shallow, IMHO.
