Romantic hentai with realistic artwork?

Ok, so yeah, I know how to use the advanced genres search to find things that fit specific categories, however, that doesn't tell me about the artwork or storyline, so I'm asking for advice:
I'm looking for a 'starting' hentai which goes easy on you, (Canon Sensei doesn't fit this, for example), but in which you don't see women with anything over size D breasts. I can't stand the huge boob artwork style which seems prevalent in what hentai I've skimmed thus far. Realistic artwork is really what I'd like to see most.
After that, I'd like a romance (and/or comedy) base with at least something resembling a plot. I'm not into loli, shota, or yuri (or incest, beastiality, defecation, etc.), but I'm willing to keep an open mind as long as it's light and not heavy on those topics. I'm not faint-hearted, but certain things aren't appealing. Mature, yaoi, smut, ecchi, bdsm are all fine, and yuri, loli, or shota are OK in small doses.
So, any suggestions?
[Edit: Sorry for starting in the wrong category! Thank you for moving. Lambchopsil.]

Yamatogawa's and Kisaragi Gunma's works are relatively softcore.

I second Doc's and I'll add:
Another person who doesn't like huge boobs (yay) XD.
Pink Sniper- It's a fun hentai, with some plot and good art...
Take on me (1,2) also fun, has romance, pretty art and plot. Has a rape scene in volume 2
Swing Out Sisters has softer art, not too much plot though.
A wish of my sister pretty soft art.
My Sister is nice, although it has big breasts you should give it a try.
Sei So Tsui Dan Sha is kind of like a guy rape? A little strange, but cute.
Those don't have anything that might scare you, more of regular sex stuff... (occasional rape here and there though).
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

How realistic are you looking for?
Kikkawa Kabao and SENA Youtarou are pretty good sources for comedic hentai and the artwork is closer to mainsteam.

So you read Canon Sensei too, huh? 🤣
Hmm...some of Bosshi's work is softcore. And I think all of Tony Taka's is as well.
Oh, and Shiwasu no Okina. Can't forget about that.

In speaking of the artwork, I don't mind more 'cartoony' or chibi-styled artwork - it just happens that the style tends to lend itself to more bust exaggerations, which is why I specified more 'realistic'. That referred more to bust size than art type, though.
And I don't mind rape scenes, as long as they're not so violent as to cause death or dismemberment. I'm looking for entertainment, not THAT much realism. For example, I enjoyed Under Grand Hotel and Sono Kuchibiru ni Yoru no Tsuyu (The Night's Dew on Those Lips). They both happen to be yaoi, but you should get the idea.

I looked through the first few chapters, but I had to stop when she expelled a teddy bear. 😲 That was enough for me. No more, thanks. =)
Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll likely give most at least a try (like I did Canon Sensei).

Yeah, I actually liked it except for that part as well as...
The part when she came out of that bag and literally BLEW ASS all over the restaurant window. Sickening...
Oh, but his other work Zettaizetsumei Kyoushitsu is just as good and it doesn't have any of that freaky shit Canon Sensei had.

You read hentai and yaoi?
My kind of girl XD.
What about Jitsuane Soukan Root?
Hallow Hallow too, maybe?
Rumble Rush - smutty yaoi. The art can seem ugly by most people I guess~.~
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

laughs Well, I've been reading yaoi anyway. Other than flipping through the first few chapters of Canon Sensei, I really haven't looked at any other hentai yet. That's why I was asking for suggestions.
I'm young enough to like being a voyeur at heart, and old enough to admit and accept it as part of who I am. 😉
I've actually already read Rumble Rush and enjoyed it. =)
There aren't too many artwork styles I thoroughly dislike. If I like the story enough, I'm willing to read through some less-appealing artwork styles too.

Could anybody recommend me non-yuri, non-lolicon/shotacon, non-smut hentai titles with realistic-sized breasts, good-looking guys (like in most yaoi), no rape or silly tasteless immature ecchi (such as panty fetish, bullying/harassment and nosebleed) and focus more on the guys' bodies and actions? I don't want smut because they don't show male genitals and most of them suck. Harem/reverse harem and male bisexuality are fine with me. Not necessarily romantic. Can be funny. Do such things really exist?
And what do you guys think of those adult dating sim games/visual novels? I watched some of the anime and think the guys are hot. Are they like that in the games too? MANY guys in shounen/seinen manga are cute and fit too (think guys from Kimi no Iru Machi for example). Why don't they use that type of drawing styles in hentai?

Wow, and I thought my request would be hard to fill... I think your request sounds even more difficult. (I thought that hentai would by definition also include smut, but maybe I'm mistaken. 🙂 )
So, I tried "Take On Me", and it was alright. There wasn't so much plot as varied scenarios for having sex, but I'll have to try a few more to see how they compare. The artwork was decent, though.

Smut, I think, is those manga published in normal shoujo/josei magazines usually with (supposedly) a drama-type plot. That's why they are not hardcore (most of them have lots of bed scenes but don't show anything at all, with only characters' heads, faces and backs, etc - I wouldn't even call them softcore. Try Kindan - Himitsu no Hanazono for example). Hentai are those R18 materials restricted to adults only (hope I am correct). I don't like most smut plots and have already read the few interesting ones. Therefore I am wanting to know whether I can find something I like from true R18 hardcore stuff (I mean showing male genitals. If nothing is shown. It's not porn at all. Aren't we looking for porn?).
Pink Sniper and Hallow Hallow sound interesting.

I just read Hallow Hallow and it was fairly interesting. There's actually a decent story and the artwork is really good, and yes, you'll get to see genitals. It's also the first time I've run across the term 'futanari' - I had to look that one up on Wikipedia. Hentai has such a broad spectrum of ...interests. 😃
I was going to look at Pink Sniper as well, but I'll have to find the scanlations.
