I just finished School Rumble, and the ending has left a bad taste in my mouth. Could someone please suggest a new manga for me? sad

Things I'm looking for
Romance
Completed (and scanned)
A HAPPY ending


Manga I enjoyed . . .
School Rumble, until the ending sad
Ai Yori Aoshi
Oh! My Goddess!
Chobits
Suzuka was okay, although I didn't really like the female lead so I couldn't really get into it.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hana Kimi is a pretty good series for those conditions...The ending screams of being forcefully cancelled, but overall it isn't that bad of an end. Though I can't really say perfectly seeing as though I hate manga series ending!

Thanks for the recomendation, I'll definatly give it a shot. Not sure if I can get into a manga taking place at an all boys school, but it will at least make for a change of pace.

Meru Puri (4 volumes)
Ai Hime (3 volumes)
24 colors (1 volume) - beautiful art and story. I wish this was licensed in English already.
The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross (11 volumes) - I love her artwork.
Fruits Basket (23 volumes) is supernatural and school life with romance over time (highly recommended).
Pretear (4 volumes) is supernatural action with a touch of romance.
Bitter Virgin (4 volumes) is listed as mature seinen romance, but definitely worth the read. Read the description so you know what you're getting into.
Shuukatsu!! (2 volumes) is a good romance josei.


I would also recommend Absolute Boyfriend, but how happy you consider the ending to be will be subjective.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
It does finish happily enough, and you'll have no idea how it's going to end until it does. However, there is tragedy before it gets to the happy ending of a well-done love triangle. I cried.
It ended perfectly though, in my opinion.

Mx0 was good but the ending was extremely rushed (read: cancellation)

You should try Adachi Mitsuru's manga!
