I'm looking for a shoujo/josei manga where the story focuses on the development of a growing couple like Get Love!!. I don't want a manga where the ending is simply the female protagonist winning the guy's heart. I want to see the couple growing together and overcoming hardships together, etc.

I don't really mind smut, but please no hentai, yuri/yaoi.

So any suggestions?

Maybe Dengeki Daisy

Kingyo Sou, maybe?

The couple gets together in the first chapter, so the rest of the series is all about them moving through life together and definitely about overcoming hardship, since the main male lead is deaf.

There's actually a few threads with lots of suggestions, which might help:

This one
This one
and this one

Nodame Cantabile maybe? The couple is a bit quirky but it's a coming of age story with all the expected hardships and dilemmas, that both protagonists face together.

Kare First Love
Mars
Kare Kano
Hana Yori Dango
Saruyama!

"In a world where most people would be crazy, then it would be normal to be crazy and crazy to be normal... but then again, if you were normal, then you would be crazy... isn't it crazy what a paradox a little craziness can create?"
