So I'm looking for a really deep manga..as in it's really serious and it's realistic in a sense. I prefer shoujo, but shounen is fine too. As long as it's not yaoi, i'm good.
Examples: Delivery Kanojo ga Tonda Hi and Confidential Confessions

'Deep' is such an annoyingly vague term, but serious and realistic I can work with.
(how do you mean 'realistic' though? No supernatural/science fiction, or just realistic within the bounds of its world? Will assume the first)
A Lollipop or a Bullet
Vitamin (SUENOBU Keiko)
Seinen/Josei:
Hanshin
Freesia
Swweeet
The Hour of the Mice
Hitsuji no Uta
Also:

No promises that they meet what you're looking for, but I think those categories sum up pretty well what's normally meant by 'deep'.

I thought Bitou Lollipop was surprisingly serious and realistic. You might like it, based on what you've listed. Also Mars, The Sleepy Residents of Birdcage Manor, and Kagen no Tsuki. (Haven't read the last one, might not be what you're looking for)
