I tried doing a search on this and found a few threads, but nothing that really fit with what I was looking for.

I'd like to read a manga where the main couple is pretty. Not where the hot playboy dates the plain girl, or where the boring boy snags the hottest girl, but where BOTH the girl and the boy are considered good looking.

Preferably (since this is about a couple) there would be at least some romance. And preferably shoujo, although shounen with "nice" art is fine too.

No smut, hentai, yaoi, yuri, shoujo/shounen-ai, or graphic violence please. And a little tragedy is fine, but I'd like a happy ending.

Thanks!

PS: I don't really keep track of my lists, so feel free to suggest something that is already on there. I've probably forgotten it's there.

Edit: here are some series to give you an idea of what I'm talking about

Edit 2: I'll keep updating this list with ones that I think perfectly fit what I'm looking for

Venus Capriccio
The Prince's Cactus
Sarasah
Goong
Bride of the Water God
Meru Puri
The One
Anything by Takagi Shigeyoshi or Morie Satoshi
Running Through the City in the Sunset
Witch and Peter
Vampire Knight
Switch Girl!!
Skip Beat (well, sometimes...I know that Kyoko isn't really pretty, but she definitely IS when she tries)
Momo
Savage Garden
Seirei Produce
Perfect Girl Evolution (again, same as Skip Beat--she's sometimes pretty.)
Cinderella Fella (another heroine who's only sometimes beautiful)
Fantamir
Hanatsukihime
Junketsu + Kareshi
Mayonaka ni Kiss
Migawari Hakushaku no Bouken

So... since this is, after all, a pretty vague category, I don't know what type of plot would interest you most, but you are reading a lot of the same things as me, so... I'll link you to some of the stuff I've read? In some of these, I think the main character is consistently described as being beautiful, and in others, she's just... quietly pretty? I dunno. XD

Show Princess - the main character is very beautiful.
Billion Princess - So the beautiful couple fits the description, buuuut there's a side character who's gay. I don't know if that would bother you, but since he's just a side character, I figured I'd link you to it, anyway.
Sora Log Maybe this one's just me, but I think she's very pretty.. and I don't think she's ever marketed as being otherwise. The art can occasionally look strange, like on the covers, but... I actually really like it.
Chiro Star Project
Torikagoshou no Kyou mo Nemutai Juunintachi
Kimi wa Pet
Goong So... this one got rather repetitive after a while (I stopped reading it ages ago), but I know tooons of people don't feel the same way, so.

Oh, and I definitely second Akuma to Love Song.

Edit: So, I was going through some of your stuff, and I saw that you seemed to like fantasy/supernatural. So, maybe some of these will do?

Shinobi Life I think this one got really good as the manga progressed.
Crimson Empire
Destination Heaven Chronicles
Joousama no Inu
Migawari Hakushaku no Bouken This one's on your reading list, but you said to link to it anyway, sooo...
Sarasah This one's on it as well.
Reimei no Arcana So, the girl is beautiful (especially when she takes her hair out of her ponytail)... even though she's a royal with red hair, which is supposedly horrible.

I hope this helps. smile

Off the top of my head, MAX Lovely!...

Not sure if these count, but...
24 Colors -- a nice read...
Otokomae! Beads Kurabu -- I think the guy's considered weird (but he has power!)... and the girl, well, she just transferred, but I know that it's funny!

Spoiler (highlight to view)
in the end they are famous singer x famous singer

the one - i don´t know how the end will be but i think it´ll end female faomus model x male famous model
Aozora Pop model x
Spoiler (highlight to view)
handsome photographer

Ouran High School Host Club two of the school "idols" but one is a gender-bender
i also think the Tokyo Mew Mew couple, since i think Ichigo is pretty and aoyama is handsome - better to watch the anime though

Wow, so many responses! Thanks so much everyone!

Maybe I should clarify a little bit, since I was pretty vague.

So, how about adding an additional qualifier: must have pretty artwork (as in, the mangaka draws well) ?

For example, (and please don't think I'm trying to insult those who suggested these, as I am super-super grateful for your suggestions!) I'm not really a fan of the drawing style of Kaichou wa Maid-sama, Special A, Barairo My Honey, Full Moon o Sagashite, or KareKano.

But I adore the art in:
Venus Capriccio
The Prince's Cactus
Sarasah
Goong
Bride of the Water God
Meru Puri
The One

Thanks again, and keep the responses coming!

Oh, and I realized that for reference purposes, I should probably add some series as well that are similar to what I'm talking about:
Anything by Takagi Shigeyoshi or Morie Satoshi
Running Through the City in the Sunset
Witch and Peter
Vampire Knight
Switch Girl!!
Skip Beat (well, sometimes...I know that Kyoko isn't really pretty, but she definitely IS when she tries)
Momo
Savage Garden
Seirei Produce
Perfect Girl Evolution (again, same as Skip Beat--she's sometimes pretty. I guess it's more like "inner beauty", heh)
Cinderella Fella (another "occasional" heroine who's only sometimes beautiful; but when she is--she's GORGEOUS)
Fantamir
Hanatsukihime
Junketsu + Kareshi
Mayonaka ni Kiss
Migawari Hakushaku no Bouken

Yuru Koi ? I like YOSHINO Aki's style... I hope this fits. smile If you liked this short 3-chapter story, try out Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei

Hana ni Arashi ? I'm not sure if you'll like this art-style... it's pretty clean in my opinion...
-- Edit: Oops... didn't realize that you already mentioned the author for this work. Sorry!

Uhmm... have you tried works by SAHARA Mizu? Though... she specializes in tragedies, there are a few stories that are happy. Try the first story in Nanairo Sekai (The Glasses Thief) and read the whole volume of Bus Hashiru. Just introducing artwork that you might find pleasant (at least, I think it's pleasant)...

Hmm... maybe:

Ten no Ryuu
Savage Garden - I think this one's on your reading list?
Evyione
Wild Ones
Snow Drop - I haven't read this or heard anything about it (I just stumbled across it), but... it seems to have pretty art? XD
Angel Shop, maybe? I haven't read this one either, buuut the characters/artwork looks lovely.


.. err.. yeah. XD
