I'ts been a while since I last asked for a bit of help but after reading some romance manga I just couldn't stand this unrealistic shoujo stories anymore.

What I'm looking for is a manga where romance between two people is one of the main parts of the story. I want a story where the romance progresses!
(from falling in love > going out > kissing > having sex)
I don't want the focus to be on the sex scenes but reading 10+ volumes and ending with a kiss is kinda ...vexing :/

It's easier to give examples of what I don't want:

1. 10+ Volumes and it ends with a kiss / "finally" having sex
2. lot's of repititive arcs of misunderstandings and new love rivals Peach Girl
3. characters talking past each other the whole story 100% Perfect Girl
4. extremely naive, weak & crying female lead
5. .....

Soo I've been thinking that seinen and josei have more of what I'm looking for but I haven't found any.
I would appreciate your help.
