So recently the amount of great romances that I've found have been lessening and lessening and it's depressing me, and I was hoping (hehe) that someone would have a suggestion or two on something they'd reccomend.
Some of my favorite series are:
MARS
Fruits Basket
Hana Yori Dango
Basara
H20
You're So Cool
Kimi Wa Petto
Ingenuo
Kare Kano
NANA

I'm not really into the ecchi/seinen/mature/smut thing, but I'm not going to avoid reading something if it has a little bit in it.

Complete:

Otokomae! Beads Kurabu (Shoujo)
Beast Master (Shoujo)
Angel Densetsu (Shounen)

On Going:

Akagami no Shirayukihime (Shoujo)
Bara no Maria (Shounen)
Superior (Shounen) (I stopped reading it, but it has REALLY nice art and story)

Problem is, apart from Angel Densetsu and Superior they're all really short or only a few chapters scanlated.

Damn you and your "I'm not into seinen"! That cut my list of romance in half... and it wasn't a very big list to begin with. >:-(

I'm male, so don't expect much from any shoujo manga I recommend. It's just those are the only ones that haven't succeeded in boring me to death. 🤢
Only recommended shoujo because your public list has shoujo as one of your most common reads.

I guess I'll leave it at that. Not that I actually have anything else to add. 😐

edit: Bugger, I knew there was another reason why I recommended shoujo. It's in the thread title. 🤢

The two hours sleep I got is showing.

Perim has good taste in shoujo. 🤣 Anything by Motomi Kyousuke, see Beast Master and Otokomae Beads Club, is good. Really good. The man is incredible.

No seinen?!?! 😲

Divine Melody
Cat Street
Taiyou no Uta
Ouran Host Club finally got the romance part starting. Yay.

I basically second what everyone else has said. Especially TCP and Beast Master.
