Hi guys! I'm not sure if I've already exhausted nice completely scanlated shoujo mangas worth reading so I'm asking something again. I'm looking for 3 things so instead of opening a new thread per each manga that I'm looking for, I'll post them all here:

1. I'm looking for a shoujo romance manga that has a nice ending. By nice ending I mean proper closure ones wherein there's an epilogue/shows what happens to them in the future.
Example would be:
Hana to Akuma
Fruits Basket
Moe Kare
Chrono Crusade

2. Another set that I'm looking for is those manga which have this "sudden" scene. Sudden scene like there's this pause moment. Sudden scenes like those in Strobe Edge( Where in Ren blocked Ninako's way when she was caught seating in his seat) or those in Moe Kare (wherein the other guy rescues the girl when she see's her Ex, whom she recently broke up with, kissed another girl).


3. Dramatic shoujo/tearjerking ones. I don't mind long titles. Just don't give me something like Emma or Kitchen Princess. If possible something like Hana to Akuma, Fruits Basket, Ouran, Moe Kare, Strobe Edge, Kare wa Tomodachi.
Skip beat and Dengeki Daisy is a nice read too but they are on going

I think I might need Lorska to pinpoint among her list for specific recommendations.

PS if possible completely scanlated ones, or soon that will be completed (like 1 volume left)

I can only help with 1. (and maybe it applies to 3. as well), and it's actually a josei... But oh well, maybe you'll like Sakamichi no Apollon. I don't really know why it is a josei and not a shoujo (I'm not good at determining demographics), but it has a very nice ending and it has quite a lot of dramatic moments. Maybe you'll like it, give it a try.

1. Chrono Crusade is a shounen, not a shoujo. If that's fine and I suppose it is, other "feminine" shounen with closure could be Karin, Mahoraba and Vampire Juujikai (last one I think can fit 3 too).

3. Maybe Flowers of Evil or Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu (which I'm not very fond of) or Shi ni Itaru Yamai (seinen) or Solanin (more melancholic than tearjerking, but I know some people who found it very sad)? I don't know what you mean with no Emma or Kitchen Princess and I don't read many shoujo, so sorry if I got them wrong.

damn... so I'm a female now ><

1.
Immortal Rain I think

2.
don't really know what to put here... aren't all manga full of those? Especially romance shoujos...

3.
Yamamoto Zenjirou to Moushimasu has its moments
Rec - Kimi ga Naita Hi
Annyeong, Pi could also fit 1

you already read most of those on my list (at least shoujo-wise), so sorry.
Do you only want shoujo? As reid1 said there are a bunch of nice ones in the seinen department too, like Ai-Ren (3), Chokotto Sister (1,3) and as suggested Solanin (3).

as for completed soon (I hope): Hajimari no Niina (3)

for number 2: I think Get Love!! fits, it's from the same author/manga-ka as Moe Kare!! and it definitely has some ''sudden'' moments.

I forgot, but I'd consider also Toradora! (1) and Gosick (1,3). I only watched the anime entirely and I'm currently reading manga and novel for both, but I think they should fit really well. Maybe you should wait for Toradora! manga if you're not willing to pick up anime/novel since that's still ongoing.

@Furan: for Sakamichi no Apollon, isn't that the same as the anime? coz I saw that it says Starts at Volume 1, Chapter 1
Ends at Volume 9, Chapter 45

@Reid1: Added them already. but isn't Flowers of Evil - Incest? As for novels, maybe I'll jump into it once there's really no shoujo manga that could interest me anymore.

@Lorska: sorry I always thought you're a she, but anyway for your reply in number 2, well yea most romance shoujos have those, but to rephrase it, let's say some shoujo-seinen manga which have moments you can't forget (I think that's easier).
You can also suggest Seinen as long as it meets what I'm looking for.

@Yuukii_Cross: Already finished that and I should say not a a single moment was retained in my head even though they're from the same mangaka of Moe Kare. I was hoping Suki Desu Suzuki kun to have those but I guess scanlations been slow.

Yeah, the anime covers all the manga. It's pretty good, and since music is very important in this manga I recommend the anime. But still, there are some beautiful details that didn't get to appear in the anime, so if you have time you should still read the manga.

Beauty is the Beast has a nice wrap-up epilogue, but it is very short, and easily missed, as it follows a non-related story.

Hana yori Dango is a long complete shoujo. I believe it also has a number of those saving moments.

Makino sees the boy she likes with another girl, and the boy who likes her lightens the mood.

@Lorska: gonna add meloholic to the list, though it's a manwha huh.... hope it urges me to read.
@Tsubamex: Already read some of them but will add those that I haven't read.
@scarletrhodelia: Beauty is the Beast - might try that. As for Hanayori Dango, I already watched the Live action and I think I'll stick with the Jdrama smile Thanks anyway.


BTW is Basara shojo tragic manga? or Bittersweet? Coz it looks like a shounen manga to me.

You're welcome. It's written by Shirodaira Kyou, who is one of my favorite authors in terms of storytelling. He's also the author of Spiral and Zetsuen no Tempest, the first is a detective/mystery story (so I don't know if it suits your tastes), the latter should be something that you could like since it's kinda similar to Vampire Juujikai (with vampires out and magicians in wink ), but I didn't mention it before because it's still ongoing. But if you liked Vampire Juujikai so much, you should probably put it on your wish list (there is also an anime currently airing btw).

For both (1) and (2) Maison ikkoku, since seinen was acceptable as well and I didn't spot it on your list.

It is also a comedy of errors that shares elements with other Takahashi series as well as a slice of life story, but it is still (arguably) very valid as a romance manga as well. It certainly moved me back in the day, when I was very much an insensitive lump for most of the time.

I'm actually a bit suprised that Lorska didn't mention it, since he seems to have read everything, ever smile I guess he doesn't consider it having a high enough % of romance.
