Hey there! Well, Recently I've started liking this really sweet boy and well, my girly side is catching up to me. Sooo...I'd love it if you guys could reccommend me some adorably cute manga to help feed my hunger for love at the moment >//////<

I'm looking for a : Comedy, Romance, School life, SHOUJO manga pweeze<3
I'd like the manga to be very pure and have a "first love" feel to it. I LOVE it when the boy blushes so if you could find a manga with a shy boy or something along the lines I'd be very grateful. I'm fine with a slow romance, but not so slow that it makes you start to feel jittery and frustrated with the characters. I'd like the girl to have a unique-ish personality and be naive.

A perfect example for what I'm looking for would have to be Kimi ni todoke, and I'd also be very appreciative if you could include male characters who are similar to Ikeyamada Go's creations.

Don't want
~ Harem
~ Smut
~Yaoi/yuri.

maybe... Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume

i think many manga with male tsundere would be fine

Sweet, quickie one-shots:
Hidarite no Love Letter
Haikei, Nanashi-sama
'Hajimete' Ageru!
(There's more... but I can't remember which ones were comedy... :/)

Kimi wa Girlfriend -- cute, 1 volume series.

Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume -- fun, quirky characters... gaah! Shadow Sakura beat me to it!!! I like this one... but it's a slow, sloooooowwww one.

Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei -- I dunno if it's a "first love" but it's a sweet one!

Fruits Basket -- okay... there's a little angst/drama in here... but it's soooo soooo nice... worth the read!

L-DK -- in case you ever want to read a school-life romance with a tease.

Ouran High School Host Club -- how could I forget?! You can watch the anime for this too! It's fun.

These threads may help too (in the blushing category):
Manga where protagonist's lover blushes a lot?
blushing/jealous guys

maybe Love so Life or Emma (i know it's not school life, but definitly pure love )
or Itazura na kiss, but i would recommand the anime or kdrama version since the manga will stay unfinished (due to the mangaka death)

@Sakura & hobbitelf: Thanks sooo much you two! I love tsundere characters<3 and you guys are amazing at reccomending I'm gonna have an lovestruck night today(:
@Morphin: I've heard of those too! I'll for sure look into them as well!(:

It wasn't a phase, mom.

there is Yume de aetera : not school life too, but meet all the other requirment (or Orange Yane no Chiisana Ie from the same mangaka but not school life, not first love, just sweet pure total love so i put in parenthesis)
Koukou Debut, Atashi wa Bambi and Hitohira no Koi ga Furu are three good shojo manga too about pure love (but the last one isn't first love...)

edit : oh and Maison Ikkoku. not really a first love (the girl is a widow), same genre as Love Hina but without harem and a bit less comical.
There is some manga from Mitsuru Adachi too (like Miyuki) but most of them talk about sport and have a really slow romance...
