I'm forever looking for two or three types of manga. moving on

1. I'm looking for manga with a focus on fashion. Either fashion is a plot or the clothing is amazing, attention to detail, very concious of what is trendy. + if it's a fashion subculture
   ex: Paradise Kiss - about Fashion
   ex: Lovely Complex, koukou debut - there is some amazing clothing in the story (and hime in the end of kk <3)
   ex: Cat Street - there is a lolita in there and she is prominant + focuses on fashion a bit
   ex: Kuroshitsuji - the main reason i read this manga is for the clothing.
   *I don't read yaoi, yuri, hentai. I also don't care much for smut but if it's not the main focus it's okay. I'm going to wager that the stories that will fit would be shoujo but other genres are fine.

2. I'm looking for normal/ugly/geeky girl/guy that gets with a normal/beautiful person but doesn't have a makeover or anything. :]
   *I will say if the story is a shounen harem I'll decline. These generally are only soso to me. And things that share a similar art styles as well (ex: love hina)

Part b: I'd like someone that personality stays true to their self. In shoujo at least the personality generally changes ex. Kare First Love (I liked her in the beginning much more)
ex: m]Gakuen Ouji[/m] a story where the main character maintains their personality would be ace.

*same rules apply. I saw this thread and it's helpful. any others (threads or series)

3. I've requested this before but I couldn't find the thread andI didn't get any responses anyway.
   I want a manga where the main character hates, dislikes, is terrifed or has an allergy to the other gender. 😀 Romance is pretty much a given (okay it doesn't have to be) comedy is a plus but not required.
   examples
   Koibana! Koiseyo Hanabi
   Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
   Perfect Girl Evolution
   HaruHana
   Girls Saurus DX
   Operation Liberate Men
   Do not suggest Bitter Virgin please (ot but why is that suggested for about everything on the manga pages?) 😕

The manga recommended in these have what you already read but there are some different ones too.

My own suggestion: Beauty Pop

Looking for... shoujo with a canned peach confession. Don’t English me I’m panic.

1. Himikei Doll (or Himekei?) Plot's kind of weak... it's kind of just a carefree shoujo, but it is about fashion
2. Hatsukoi Limited It's not a harem, but at first glance it kind of looks like it... It kind of focuses in and out on many different people and relationships.
3. I guess Zodiac P.I. would work for this... But to be honest romance was not the biggest point for it XD But it was a redeeming point.

For #3: Girls Bravo, but it's ecchi harem, if you're against that.

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
