Hey minna,
I hope you can help me with this. Here are the things I'm looking for in a manga:
1) Male love interest must be LOOK older but still be sexy (like 10+ years)
- I am not interested in vampire, or immortals if they don't LOOK older
2) Male love interest must have hair down to his butt
- I don't want hair that is shoulder length or shorter. And hair in ponytails don't count unless it is still past the lower back
3) Female protagonist must be significantly younger
- Example: Female-16 years Male-25-30 years (and remember, he must look it)
4) Female must end up with the long-haired male
5) Must be a relatively happy ending. Can have drama and angst, but they must be together and happy in the end.
6) Preferred if the genre was fantasy. For instance, the girl getting transported to another world/dimension/time. And the male doesn't have to be human.
Sorry ya'll for the strict guidelines, but it's all I'm searching for right at the moment. Please let me know if you find anything. Thank you so much for your help!
P.s. A good example of what the male might look like is Yoiyami from Ten no Ryuu no Sakura.

You should try Inu Yasha by TAKAHASHI Rumiko : The supernatural adventure romance manga features Kagome Higurashi, a 15 years old highschool girl who was mysteriously transferred into feudal Japan. She met a half-human, half-yokai (japanese occult demon) named Inu Yasha, who is searching a precocious jewel in order to be fully transformed into demon. It has 56 volumes, the protagonist's hair go down on the lower back. It even has happy ending

DO you know how to conduct an advanced search by Genre/categories?
Try the following categories-
Older Male Younger Female
Age Gap
Long-haired Male
Btw, Kanata Kara fits your bill too.

.Oops! Maybe I should have done a list of the one's that I've read. Err....but there are so many. I have read Inuyasha, but it still doesn't fit the bill. He's more of a teenager than an older male. But it was a good series...a bit long though.
Thanks!

I will try doing the advance search like you suggested. Thank you!
And yes, I have read Kanata Kara. It was one of the best manga's I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Thank you for suggesting it though.

How about Immortal Rain? His hair isn't all the way to his butt but it's pretty long. Machika is 14 and Rain is about 1000 but looks 30ish

Yes, I have read that too.
*sighs* I really wish they hadn't discontinued the series. I was really into it....
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Yep, that one with Yoiyami, correct? I absolutely LOVED that one! I have read it before, but I might just read it again for the heck of it. Yoiyami is soooo smexy! ^-^

Model I have read (but the ending felt a little incomplete).
Saver I have not yet finished, so thank you for reminding me!
And Akuma na Eros I have read, reread, and rereread because SATAN IS SO HOT! Too bad he isn't real....
Thank you for those suggestions. I will be sure to go back and finish up Saver.

Maybe those will also fit your conditions:
Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan (it's gothic fantasy, the romance part is rather understated, the guy has wonderful long hair and the girl is much younger. I wouldn't call him "mature", but she is a teen, so the age difference is obvious)
World End Garden (oneshot, fantasy, about the ending
Another Kingdom (now, I have not finished this manga so I don't know how things will work out, but it is supernatural and features a young girl and an older male with long hair who is in love with her, so might be worth checking out)
Sara no ue no Kanojo (another oneshot & fantasy, not sure about the rest of the conditions, but to me he looks older than she does, and he has pretty hair)

it's bittersweet, not the happily ever after kind

I know, right? His hair should be illegal. XD
And I will totally read it again.

Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan I have started to read, it looks good, if a bit gory (man those dolls are freaky! )
I'm not sure if I'd want to read World End Garden. Does the girl and the long-haired guy get and stay together in the end?
Another Kingdom, I have also read. I won't spoil the ending for you, but it doesn't end up the way I wanted it.
Sara no ue no Kanojo was a good one, short, but good. But it leaves you with an incomplete feeling at the end.
Thank you for these suggestions.
I'm not really into these types of manga's. I never was into the whole idol/pop/actor thing. But thanks for suggesting them anyways!
Ingenuo The guys hair changes.
The One
These look promising. I do like historical. Do you know whether it's a happy ending though?
Scarlet Palace
Snow love?
Shadow of Visions
Have already begun reading this. It's great! I love the whole time periods mix-up thing. It's always comical to ponder over how a person from the past would deal with living in a modern day setting.
Sengoku Danshi Hana no Ran
This one looks kind of eerie. I might try it though.
Song of the doll
This looks SUPER promising. I'm definitely going to read this one!
Yoshiwara Hana Oboro
This, probably not. But thank you for the suggestion.
Dragon Pearl Boy Their ages are close
This also looks super promising. Hair is not as long as I'd like it, but it does look like a great story. Thank you! ^-^
Nise no Chigiri
Thank you so much for all these suggestions! <3

I'll try putting it under the spoiler tag correctly this time.

No, they don't, because he dies/disappears in order to stop the end of the world. It ends with the girl thinking that he is her precious memory forever.
Also Otogi mo You Aya ni Shiki, though his hair is shorter than described.
And maybe Tsuki no Shippo, though I don't know who she ends up with. But the heroine is a young girl and most guys around her look older and have long-ish hair.
