I've been mostly reading shounen manga but recently there's not much left so I've been picking up some seinen titles and Chokotto Sister, Inumimi, Love Roma, KissxSis, KimiKiss - Various Heroines, Koibana Onsen, Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne!! are some of my most memorable ones. But I suspect some of these to be fake seinen, because some of them certainly don't feel like it.

Meh, they're all pretty good, IMO.

One of my favorites is Bus Hashiru, I read it so many times and it always give a good feeling after I finish it.
The oneshot Flowers (NIHONBASHI Yoko), is pretty nice too, it's very short but it's worth it.
And another favorite is Shi ga Futari wo Wakatsu Made, It's listed under romance, but I don't see much romance there. Anyway, it's a great seinen.

I love Hoshi no Koe and D-ASH and NHK ni Youkoso!. Honorable mentions are Ciguatera and SaiKano. anyways, these are my favorite seinen romance =].
D-Ash is horrific. I'd advice anyone and everyone to not get near it.

I loved D-ash... What exactly did you have an issue with? The drugs or the homosexuality?

Or the main character being a douchebag?
Anyway, my favorites still are Welcome to the NHK!, Emma, Sukima Suki, anything by Sahara Mizu, like Bus Hashiru and Hoshi no Koe (whoever mentioned these a few posts up deserves a plate of cookies with milk),
and Genshiken.
There's more, but I'm starving and now mentally-deprived until I get to dig into the bowl of cevice someone brought in to work.

Welcome to the NHK! is shounen <= serialized in Shonen Ace. It has been mentioned more than once.

Finished it recently. I'm a fan, too.
On a lighter note, I've also started enjoying Fudanshism and Koe de Oshigoto!.

Well, if we're going to be nitpicky, Sukima Shiki is not seinen either. It's shoujo.

I liked some others. Most of them have been mentioned above so I am not going to repeat.
My absolutely favorite seinen romance is Lament of the Lamb. Nothing else can beat it in my book. Yeah, I know it's not just about romance and the plot and style are not for everyone.
I should give Swweeet a mention. I didn't rate it very high and a lot of people are turned off after reading the first few chapters. But the ending will be surprising. It's a unique manga, a bit messy though.
