k....so as the topic says, im looking for a shoujo with comedy, in the sense that it still is emotional and touching, but not depressing.
The female lead should be strong, preferably physically as well as emotionally, but ill take just emotionally as well. She shouldnt be pushed around by people easily.Also, hopefully with some goals in life, and not all ga-ga over the main guy.
Another requirement would be good art, not the art with huge eyes and feminine men and flowers all over the place, but a bit more realistic art where them women look like women and men look like men, if u know what i mean....basically just beautiful art.
Any reccomendations would be really appreciated.

hope these are ok... will name a few josei because they fit your description well.

tramps like us- story is funny and touching. main character is (realistically) physically ad emotionally strong.
It's not like that darling comedy and again, main heroine emotionally strong, also does not go gaga of the main guy. art might be a little shoujo-ie for ur taste if u prefer more realistic art.
