Darn xD

not sure about all of the ages but I enjoyed these...

Azumanga Daioh
Ichigo Mashimaro
Blood Alone
Oni-Gokko
Mirai Nikki

Well, the others I can think of are even further away from a 'regular childhood' than some of the ones above are, so i'll leave them out.

glad you like em,
welcome back pearl

+anima and to a lesser extent blood alone


PS. I would say do not read mirai nikki, definately not children.

I guess maybe cardcaptor sakura?, though it wasn't my cup of tea.

Kagen no Tsuki? The main cast feature 4 children, and they're essential to the story development and ending.
I can't think of other titles than the ones you already listed, Pearlesque, sorry.
Well, there's Dear Mine too, but I'm not sure it fits your criteria - and your high standards ^_^ - , although I found it to be a very sweet reading and refreshingly not perverted: basically, it's a story of two people learning to lo live together and falling in love, and one of them happens to be a very young boy.

Found this request by chance, anyway noone mentioned but for me Hikaru no go fits the category. Cheers.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

+Anima definitely fits your description. It's about a carefree child with crow's wings that freely wanders from place to place searching for people like him to befriend. The characters are adorable, but not perfect. Thier adventures are by no means monumental, but they brighten up the lives of the people they meet when they travel ^_^ Made me feel like a kid again XD

Naked The name may sound suspicious, but it's a really sweet story about a group of two inseparable friends enjoying the great parts of childhood together and helping one another through hardships.

Forever Honey A bittersweet oneshot through the eyes of a child. This one is really short, really cute, and kind of sad ;_;

Ichinensei ni Nacchattara Is about a high school boy who is ran over by a truck and recreated by a odd scientist into a small elementary girl. only 1 volume is out and fully scanlated yet.

Mint na Bokura. Rather cute.
Harukana Machi-E: Really good story where a middle-aged man has to relive part of his childhood.
Lucky Star; ecchi is in the eye of the beholder? It's not listed as ecchi, but you know some people...
It's been a while since I read Kagen no Tsuki, but I kinda remember a bunch of kids in it?
Mama wa Shougaku 4-nensei; silly and kinda bizarre, but short and sweet.
