I'm looking for a romance manga from a male perspective that's not yaoi. I've read most of the popular romance mangas out there. I don't care whether it's harem or not. I prefer mangas that don't have adult content though I might overlook it if the story is especially good, like Hetakoi. As I've said, I've read most of the populat ones Good Ending, Kimi no Iru Machi, Suzuka, Ichigo 100%, Video Gild Ai and many others. I also prefer mangas that are already completed and are long; however, I'll still read incomplete and short mangas. Thanks in advance!

Byousoku 5 Centimeter

Le Portrait de Petit Cossette: there's horror element
Boku to Kanojo no XXX: a bit weird and slight ecchi, still it has nice plot
Last Game: only 3 chapters
Onani Master Kurosawa: don't frightened by the title, it's not ecchi. Great plot, it keeps you guessing until the end (you will surprised who he ends up with in the end)
Ore x Yome: it's mature (it has sex scene, but not that explicit) but the idea is interesting and well-written

Kiss, Zekkou, Kiss- Switches back an forth.
Kiss, Zekkou, Kiss Bokura no Baai- Sequel
37°C Kiss- Oneshot from above.
Eensy-Weensy Monster- Switches back an forth.
Koi no Kamisama- Oneshot
Cyboy- Two volumes long.
Joyful Days?- Oneshot
Celeste Blue- Oneshot
Another I can't remember but it's about a guy who didn't give a love letter to his friend asking to meet the girl who gave it to him, because he liked her. Went and comforted her when he knew his friend wouldn't show up and started dating her. Switches back the girl's POV at the end with her take on things.

You should publicize your lists. This is a fairly wide genre.
Are you looking for more comedic stuff or more dramatic stuff? (I copied this from a post in a similar thread)
More comedic:
Countrouble
Hanzasky
Kimiiro Focus
Love Allergen
Mahoraba
Minamoto-kun Monogatari
Seishun For-get!
Shuukyuu Shoujo
To Love-Ru and To Love-Ru Darkness
More dramatic:
Addicted to Curry
Blood Alone
Hetakoi
Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai
Kono S o, mi yo!
Rika (if you're into incest)
Kodomo no Jikan
Ookami to Koushinryou
Umi no Misaki
Unbalance x 2
Velvet Kiss
Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata
More fantasy, romance isn't the major focus here tho:
Hoshi no Samidare
Mirai Nikki
Psyren
Chobits
Tons more, but no idea what you've read already. Don't forget to read Onani Master Kurosawa mentioned above.

A lot of the titles mentioned here are really good. I second Onani Master Kurosawa and Subete ni Iya Girl.
You might want to check out Kitazaki Taku's stuff (some titles have been mentioned) if you're willing to read more risque stuff. And as always, stuff by Adachi Mitsuru should fit what you are looking for - provided you get used to his art. Also surprised that Love Roma hasn't been mentioned, though that has a balanced perspective.
You are also welcome to check out my publicized lists. I mainly read shounen and seinen romances so you're bound to find something there.

Well, I don't really discriminate. I like almost every kind of romance manga so I'm can't really specify the genre that I'm looking for except that romance is a large part of the plot. I've read mangas that are marked to be "romance" but have little romance in the plot. Also, I prefer serious mangas to comedy ones, but I also like mangas with comedy as long as the plot is good and its not too weird. Either way, the posts here have been awesome and I'm going to try to read each of your suggestions. Thanks a lot to all who posted and if anybody else has any more suggestions please don't hesitate to post. Also, I just discovered this website and I signed up just yesterday so I haven't added mangas to my list but I'll try to get to it tomorrow though I doubt I'll be able to add in every manga I've read.
edit:I've already started on my list. I've added almost every manga I've read or am currently reading to this list

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

Try Melo Holic, a small supernatural part but really nic:, funny and sad/dramatic parts, and overall a very good story
webcomic though...
(well you could also take nearly any manga (everything except xxxholic to be precise) from my completed list, if it's not shoujo it has a high probability of having the perspective of the female, so all non-shoujos there shoud be fine)
