I'm looking for a manga that has shounen and shoujo elements combined...a manga with shounen'ish action and shoujo'ish romance would be very good...
something like:
Pandora Hearts
Mushi to Medama to Teddy Bear
Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
Superior

Although they are all categorized as shounen, I think they do have shoujo elements...(art/bishounen/romance/etc..)

I would be very thankful if you can suggest something like this...

The first one I would recommend is Vampire Juujikai, which is shounen action with (maybe) shoujo-ish romance and art.

And you might like Double Arts, 1/2 Prince and Hatenkou Yuugi.

Although I dropped them, but you might be interested in Code: Breaker and the author's other works. Ann Cassandra is a shounen action with romance but the art is not shoujo-like.

Theses have pretty art and are action-focused but no romance:
Monochrome Factor
Zombie-Loan
Chrome Breaker

Threads given by Liria are helpful. I think you want specifically action + romance or pretty art, so just find those titles with these genres (not all of them have both though).

There are many mangas like that. Trinity Blood is an example. It's action shoujo with a little romance. But the action aspects are not typical shounen-like. Tenshi Kinryouku and Kugutsu are this type too. Although I haven't read it, Meteor Methuselah, is probably one and a lot of guys on here seem to like it.

You could also give these a try. They are action seinen/shounen, a bit dark or unusual, and with pretty art.
Drug-On
Taimashin
Chevalier
White Dragon

I second Double Arts and Ann Cassandra. It's a shame both were ended early.

How about: xxxHolic (since you like TRC)
Bara no Maria
Basara
Blood +
Destination Heaven Chronicles
or stories by SHIOMI Chika (Yurara, Rasetsu, Canon, etc.)
