I'm looking for romance manga(s) recommended by you! Here's the criteria:
-older guy younger girl
-possessive lover
-student/teacher relationship
-brother complex and or sister complex
-butler
-maid
-guardian relationship
-abandon by parents
-realistic abuse (any kind...animal....parent....ect.)
-step-sibling love
-age gap
-rich guy
-forbidden love
To get an example of my tastes I will list my top five manga: (1) Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori (2)100% Perfect Girl (3)Toraware no Minoue (4)Mei-chan no Shitsuji (5)Vampire Knight

Manga to exclude:
Yaoi - sorry but this stuff scars me
Shounen Ai - see reason above ^^
Shoujo Ai - see reason above^^
Yuri - see reason above
Hentai - I'm too young for porn and again it will scar me.
Weak female leads- you CAN recommend this but it makes my blood boil to see stupid helpless little girls almost (or) get raped and/or cry all the time.
Please no men in their mid-thirties sticking their hands down a elementary kids pants *shudders* I used to be an elementary kid so don't screw with my innocence.

I'm mainly looking for romance manga OR manga that has some romance in it but doesn't say romance. I prefer shoujo but I'm opened minded enough to read other than that. NOTE I don't like using the search engine mainly because I want people to tell me their opinion(s). What you recommend must mostly fit in my criteria box BUT if you feel that your preference/personality matches me somewhat feel free to recommend outside the box.

On a random side note starting a debate is one of my favorite things*hint* *hint*^^

Blood Alone
Oniichan control
Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne!!
kinda fit to some of your criteria

________________

at the top of my head there is hana no namae and love so life and hana to akuma um...... o! 7th period is a secret.
First two have age gap, the other has student-teacher (so i guess it's also age gap) I'm not sure if this would count as butler- but there's Kamisama Hajimemashita the guy she falls for it's her bounded butler- tho he is a spirit so.... well let's just say it's more in the fantasy side. As for step-siblings I would say [m]me and my brothers[/m] (the guy also has a sister-complex) or the manwha Hissing (although you don't find out they are siblings until the end)

wow i actually remembered more than 2 titles XD
Anyway, hope you atleast like one of these!

Student-teacher relationship: Unbalance x 2

Thanks for all your recommendations:
Oniichan Control - It's too perverted to me, but it was very funny. I like milder stuff.
Blood Alone - I'm reading that one.
Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne!! - I feel this one was less perverted than Oniichan Control but it still too hot to me.
Love so Life - I'm reading this:-)
7th Period is a secret - I completed this one.
Hana no namae - This one really fits me though I do like faster romance.
Kamisama Hajimemahita - I'm waiting for new release~~
Hissing - do you know a manga site I could read this on? It would be awesome if you could give me a link
Unbalance X2 - too pervy
I like all your recommendations^^Suggest More^^

You can probably find hissing in manga reader
Also,
I remember some other ones
faster than a kiss for teacher Kirai step-siblings Hotaru no Hikari age gap/ forbidden... sort of Dear Mine the girl is the older one, but it's really rather cute Shiawase Kissa 3-choume oresama teacher last two are age gap and teacher but they have pretty slow development- specially oresama i think love is probably secondary; will probably occur late on the series

Gotta say, thank God you're cool with incest . . .

Eden No Hana - you should know: the abuse is mostly in the past and is done by her former "brother" (she was adopted). However the main romantic relationship in this manga is not an abusive one. Btw, the heroine might sound weak in the description, but she's actually just the opposite. It says she doesn't trust people, but not in the shy way, more in the strong-willed but guarded way.

-older guy, younger girl
-brother AND sister complex
-guardian relationship
-realistic abuse
-age gap
-rich guy
-forbidden love

Flowers of Evil - this one's really sad, especially the end.

-possessive lover
-brother AND sister complex
-realistic abuse (more mentally than anything else, though)
-forbidden love

Dengeki Daisy - much lighter, funnier manga

-older guy younger girl
-student janitor relationship (lol)
-brother complex (not an incest manga, though)
-guardian relationship (not legally, though. her brother asked him to look after her as a favor)
-age gap
-forbidden love (but only because he's like, 25, and she's like, 17. In another year it'd be legal.)

I also hate weak heroines. They make me sick. I especially hate when they have sexually abusive boyfriends who are portrayed as heroes for constantly saving them from rape, even though they then just go and rape them themselves. It's makes me want to throw up.

Anyway. That was my little rant. Hope these help, and I'll post more if I think of them.

Edit:
Nana - So good. And so sad later on . . .

-older guy younger girl
-possessive lover
-realistic abuse
-rich guy
-and a whole lot of other stuff as well. it's just a lot of tough decisions and heartbreaking turn of events. So good, though.

Chiro Star Project - Even though this manga is presented in such a typical shoujo way, it always seemed so creepy to me . . .

-possessive . . . lover? (not sure about this second word)
-brother and sister complex
-realistic abuse
-rich guy
-forbidden love

This crazy rich guy basically takes her away from her family and makes her lie to them and then forces her to become a man (not actually with a sex change, though). There's reasons behind all of this, but the creepiest part to me is how she begins to more and more self identify with her new identity, the one he created for her, rather than the person she used to be.

Melodramatic Library
Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru

Onii-chan to Issho (Me and my Brothers)

It has older guy,younger girl and brother/sister complex, and step-siblings...

It was much to cheesy for me, and the sister complex annoyed me, but I think it fits your criteria

THANKS AGAIN!
Eden No Hana - waiting for new releases~
Flowers of Evil - completed
Dengeki Daisy - waiting for new releases
I'll try NANA & Onii-chan to Issho & Chiro Star Project - Your description made me laugh.lol This one sounds wierd but I'll take risk.
Melodramatic Library
Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru

^^I have new manga to read^^so happy>.<

Kaichou wa Maid Sama president who hates guys is a maid + possessive guy who is perfect
Tenshi ja Nai!! guy blackmails (and bullies) the girl he likes since she's his roommate and he's crossdressing
Shibariya Komachi parental abuse for the girl and the guy is older plus

i can add more later.

later:
Kemonotachi no Yoru -it's been a long time but i'm pretty sure that there is an age gap and forbidden love.
and you probably already read skip beat where the male lead totally acts as a possessive lover
hana no kishi -cross dressing butler who protects her mistress. and there is forbidden love. but not between the two but between
Reimei no Arcana possessive lover for sure. and they are royalty.
Sugar Family step sibling love (one sided, maybe) and guardian relationship
Crown -i think this one might be sibling love but i dunno. haven't read far 'cause go comi! went out of business. but it's at least guardian relationship
Crossroad this one has too many of your criteria to list...
basara forbidden love and possessive lover (you can see how my taste leans towards possessive lovers quite a lot...)
Elio and Yvette lots of forbidden love from the summary; if only they would translate it! but lila wolves is interested in it so there's hope
faster than a kiss- teacher/student, possessive lover
and i'll possibly add more later. i need a break now
