So after reading what seems like almost all the action/martial arts manga I could find, I've been recently reading a lot of romance mangas.

I've already searched using the filters and read a lot of good ones, but I need more suggestions.

Here's what I'm looking for:
- Romance
- Light comedy (too much ruins the mood)
- Seinen or shounen (NO shoujo)
- I'm okay with harem, as long there is developments in the relationships and it's not just one-sided interest

I prefer the manga to have (but it's not necessary):
- Borderline H, ecchi, or partial nudity (YES please, I'm a guy)
- No flat chested women (side characters okay)

PLEASE NO:
- smut
- yaoi
- hentai
- shoujo (sorry I'm not a fan of most shoujo art and the stories are too much)


Here's what I've read and looking for off the top of my head:
- Ichigo 100%
- Suzuka
- Horimiya
- Minamoto-kun Monogatari
- Hetakoi

I've read a lot, and tend to read the highest/most rated mangas. So please try and think outside of those lines. Generally, if it's highly rated and has lots of votes, I've probably read it.

Sorry if I'm too specific, but this is what I'm looking for. Any suggestions welcome, even if it doesn't fit my criteria.

Thanks!

did I miss something here

If Horimiya qualifies, Bonnouji would be alright.
then you should have read Otoyomegatari
Natsu no Zenjitsu

sorry but this

keeps me from posting more because there are guys that don't want this...
(and therefore I don't have many that fit this criteria...)

I don't know if you have read any of these but they should fit what you are lookin for.

What Lorska said... Also, while I don't read ecchi, I might be able to suggest other mangas, but you said you have read every thing with a high rating.... So could you make your lists public for us to see what you didn't read?

Huh... well i'd say Change 123 Not really romance based but it does have lots of it.
was gonna post more but sunder solved the equation.

ill add in Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata

Hahaha, I'm not a guy, but I have looked into Borderline H Romance mangas lately. I love smut (it's basically girls borderline H dude. And I really liked love junkies, so I decided to look more up.)

Ok, ones i've read:
Love Junkies
Nana to Kaoru (That can get pretty freaking intriguing)

I can't remeber anymore, but those are good.

I agree with Lorska and strixflash. If you want us to recommend something matching, you'll have to provide more non-ambiguous information.

As long as I don't know more about your request, I'll just post the link to one of my older posts; ignore the thread title as well as the first and the last recommendation, the remaining ones should work:

Looking for really good romance, with smut.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions! I will get through all of these as soon as I can.



Sorry, I updated my orignal post, to clarify or correct my criteria. Borderline H, ecchi, or partial nudity is preferred, but not necessary.

Renai Shimasenka?
I guess I can second Change 123

Maybe Sekirei. It should have most of what you requested and despite being an ecchi harem there is some progress in the romance department.

Try:

Freezing
Highschool Dxd
Sora No Otoshimono
Omamori Himari
Kanokon
Maga Tsuki
Uwakoi
Aki Sora
ToraKiss A School Odyssey
Iinazuke Kyoutei
Maken Ki
Come Come Vanilla
Re:BIRTH The Lunatic Taker
Natsu no Zenjitsu
Highschool of the Dead



umm... ill do the rest later

ah that makes things easier.
you were looking for not so well known stuff?
then you should have read Melo Holic.

Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami
Blood Lad
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge
Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko
Tonari no Kashiwagi-san
Majime na Jikan
Carnivorous Princess Yegrinna
Chokotto Sister
Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa
Karin

that enough? I guess I could add more, but you could also check my lists, they contain almost only romance...
