I really want to get into a good manga right and I'm not finding any luck.

I'm looking for a romance manga, but I have some requirements.

• great artwork (most important)
• dramatic
• romance
• no gender bender
• no yaoi or yuri please
• 16+ (don't want it to be childish)
• no oneshot
• school life would be great

Examples

• Hot Gimmick
• Honey Hunt
• Tokyo Boys and Girls
• Kare First Love
• Peach Girl
• High School Debut
• Full House Kiss
• H2O
• Doubt
• Paradise Kiss

I'm very sorry if I'm picky, but I'm really want to get into a good manga.

School Days

Shoot i've just realised your after Shoujo..haha sorry ^^;

I think these will help:

Best Josei
Josei/Mature-ish Shoujo Recommendations
Seinen Romance Appreciation Thread

They have really good recommendations. Some of my recommendations are in those threads. Also try: Anastasia Kurabu though it's not school-life.

If you like great artwork, try Yumeka Sumomo / Sahara Mizu (same artist - one is a pen name.)

Some of her work is shounen-ai, so if you want to avoid that, then check the genres, but her artwork is gorgeous, and her themes are mature.

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

H3 School - fun and hilarious, one of my all-time faves. Also contains conspicuously nice-looking guys...

Moe Kare!! - you might like this one if you don't mind love triangles.

Crimson Hero - sports-centered, but also romance-centered and relationship-centered.

If you don't mind something a little wackier, there's Oresama Teacher, a hilarious, offbeat series that I'm really enjoying at the moment. The romance isn't all that clear-cut though...it could kind of go in any number of directions...

Otomegokoro
Kimi ga Suki
Bibi
Aoi Kiseki
Goong not really school life, but the art is beautiful
Strobe Edge
Reaching You
Replay
and most of hwang mi ri's works

Karin great story, lots of love the right way ^^

you might like Mars

I've read Mars, and I really liked it. That manga is a good example of what I'm looking for.

Any more suggestions?
