Hi you awesome mangas reader people....

I'm looking for a long (would be great if complete)shoujo or josei manga.

1. Heavy on romance between a boy and a girl...(no older female lead)
2. Heavy on sports...if not sports...I want it to be some purpose in life...I like work office lady now...school life is just too typical now.
3. I want the female lead to be the strong one emotionally or has her mind sets on something and went for it.

Example you ask?

Crimson hero
Kiss & never cry
Rough...this was a little slow...really slow!!!
Boku no hatsukoi wo kimi ni sasagu
Cat street
The one
Hana kimi
Hapi mari
Clover (chiya toriko)
Ashita no ousama...wayyyy too slow.
Dear waltz
Dengeki daisy
Love so life
Shiawase kissa sanchoume
Shuukatsu!! - kimi ni naitei....love it so much but too short.
Six half
Skip beat...love it but it's getting a bit weird tho.
Wild ones

I know!!! Mostly they are school life....but I am getting tired of it now.

Thank you guys in advanced for your awesome answers...

I saw that you've read Rough by Adachi Mitsuru, Try looking at his other stuffs. Most of them are long sports romance and most of them were also completely scanlated.
