Certain Type of Manga

Howdyyy, I'm looking for a manga where the main characters were going out or were friends in the past and then meet again in future and get together again gradually. Like in When Harry Met Sally.
They could have disliked each other, liked each other, or vaguely knew each other.
What I don't really want is when the two characters are always thinking about each other for years and years all weepy and agnsty going on about how much they still love the other and etc. I want it to be a bit of a sudden meeting and have them grow closer until they grow to love each other.
I would prefer josei or seinen, but I'll settle for shoujo and shounen.
Please no: yaoi, yuri, shounen/shoujo ai, or ecchi.
Thanks in advance. :3

First one, I would have to think of these days is certainly Ao Haru Ride. Aside from this, there are ...
-
Mayonaka no Ariadone - Another Shoujo, although the storyline is pretty mature and non-stereotyped, even if it starts off with two childhood friends meeting each other again by chance.
-
Coelacanth - Same here, but the main characters have known each other only vaguely and the happenings of the past will rather slowly become clear.
-
Halfway - "Hoshi wa Hi ga Kureru Made Nemuru"; Childhood friends are meeting again and the girl starts to realize the diffrences between the past- and the current-self of the boy.
-
Nonchan to Watashi - Finally a Josei, which should be nearly a perfect match to your request. ^^
"It's like love is a bonus in your life. Even without it, I'm just fine. I don't feel like pointlessly searching for it. You don't have to make yourself unhappy." (Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji)
"Why does it rain?" - "To create drama." (Drops (Andou Yuki))

I don't know how you can feel about incest, but I think Koi Kaze fits.
What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:[img]http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo233/Reid4891/Manga/trivia-1.jpg[/img]
