I'm looking for manga with both cool male and female lead (the cool factor can be delivered in many different ways). It would be great if there was romance, as well as story and action. Examples of what I am looking for would be: Spice & Wolf (Novel), Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo and Black Lagoon

Those 3 series have another thing in common. All of them feature the main due having sharp conversations, be it flirting, arguing, coming up with plans etc. So I would like to have those in recommended series as well.

Please no: Hentai\Shounen-Ai\Shoujo-Ai

Nisekoi I think the male lead eventually becomes cool but for now he's just the heir of some yakuza.

umm, Kare Kano maybe?

in need of romance?
uncommon, sad, sweet

I too was looking for something like Ryouko's case Files. I recommend Psychometrer Eiji.
Also try Ouroboros ,although the focus is more on the male lead.

Pandora Hearts

maybe Blood Alone

I'm already reading Blood Alone, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Psychometrer Eiji is kind of like what I am looking for though.

Aside from what I wrote in the first post, I would really like to read a series with characters like the main duo from Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo (Ryouko's Case File).

I wouldn't mind seeing more recommendations and thanks for the previous ones.

there's The Scarlet Chair, but isn't very romantic...
Also Mana

special a and maid sama! sounds like what you're looking for. I'd recommend LAST GAME too

You should try Trace. It has everything. Also there is great character development.

He is a cool as Keitaro from Love hina hahaha....

Natsu no Zenjitsu there you go two awesome main characters..
Nodame Cantabile another two great main characters.

There is [m]Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Be mine, Hero" "I refuse!"[/m] for the spice&wolf likeness..

If you are in LN.
Sword Art ONLINE
Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

I say you should look into Seinen or Josei sections for those two characteristics

Bloody Cross!! I love the way those two interact^^ And it's rather confusing but really interesting! Though I still don't know which one of them is the REAL main character... Well, just read it, it's good!
