Hey I started what limited chapters they had on Sword Arts Online and loved every chapter, especially the blend of romance and action. I was wondering if anyone could suggest similar stories because as it is I can't get enough. Any suggestions? More of an emphasis on the romance being similar because there are plenty of good action stories out there but the romance is a little bit harder to get. I like stories where the characters are honest with each other instead of pronouncing feelings after 100 chapters.

I haven't read or watched Sword Art Online, but here are some good action/romance. First and last mentioned fit your criteria best.

Kanata Kara-Shoujo- Girl goes to different world and reluctantly guy saves her. And then they adventure. This has a larger emphasis on romance than action, and it is very good. Completely translated.

InuYasha-Shonen- There's a love triangle, but action does come first before romance, and it the series kind of drags on. Again, highschool girl falls into another world, but she can travel between. Very long, 500+ chapter, completely translated.

Rurouni Kenshin- Shonen-This has a fair amount of action, but it is interwoven with a romance that is more subtle until the final arc. Very good, 100+ chapters, and completely translated.

Miriam-Shoujo- Takes place in the Wild, Wild West and the romance doesn't start until near the middle where there is a time skip. Again, very, very good and emphasis on romance Same author as Katana Kara.

Hope you enjoy these

Try Immortal Rain has both romance and action, it's shoujo, but it reads like shounen. Hopefully it should suit your taste.

You might want to check this topic even if limited to romance only: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=37032

And I don't want to be a jerk, but Inuyasha is pretty much the opposite of what you asked, there are like 500 chapters where both don't want to admit their feelings...

I suppose you already checked out Accel World (same author), but I don't think there are many straightforward and explicit romance story like SAO (at least that I can remember). If you're willing to try something different with only little action Otoyomegatari is quite fascinating.

PS: Btw, just fyi there are currently 10 volumes of SAO novel translated if you can't have enough of it. smile

Thanks guys, I just read the novel and it's pretty amazing but I do wish they were drawn out it really is a story I'd love to read manga style. Read most of them but saw a few I need to definitely try!

Shingetsutan Tsukihime - An action series that is mostly based on romance more than any other genre. It has complicated concepts at times, but it isn't too hard to follow.

Shakugan no Shana - I would watch the anime for this, but the manga has its merits. This is a action, romance with a tsundere female lead.

Chrno Crusade - very action packed, and a decent romance plot.

Elfen Lied - Bloody, action packed fights. It's a romance, but you might get a bit irritated with the male protagonist.

Shakaku picked some nice ones, I really recommend the anime of shana, the third season is really good though the love declaration is pretty stretched out...

you can try these too:
Erementar Gerad
Hoshi no Samidare
Immortal Rain is seconded, it really fits
Superior & Superior Cross
Kaitai Shinsho Zero

Try 1/2 Prince. It's not as dramatic, but has a similar plot.
It's always entertaining and action packed and quite funny at times.
