Sucky title, yeah
First and foremost I want to say that I have no idea how I could search for what I'm requesting, to see if it has been asked before ^^; So I apologize if there is a thread that is 100% like mine, and please direct me to it.
I'm looking for recommendations!
Manga that is romance (or rather a strong friendship) where complete strangers meet in an every-day average setting:
Laundry mat, grocery, library, etc.
I'd prefer if the romance/strong friendship were kept within the setting, thus never coming to a close. Though otherwise (they take the romance further, get into a relationship, etc.) is okay too.
A few chapters in Bus Hashiru fit perfectly, to give you an example.
Yaoi, yuri & hentai are O-k!

Renai Bus Stop comes immediately to mind for me, where - you guessed it - they meet at the bus stop. BL, for those who care.

As I recall, the main girls of Oniisama e met on a pretty ordinary bus ride, but it was made into the most amazingly melodramatic bus ride ever driven. Especially in the anime. *spin spin spin*
There's Densha Otoko, of course.

That first story was so cute, and definitely along the lines of what I was looking for. Thank you

Oniisama e doesn't seem like it's what I'm looking for, and the art scares me Going to check out Densha though!

Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Not your average, everyday setting, but it is the only place they can meet.
...What's wrong with Genshiken's summary?

Sanchoume no Tama....trap is not really trap...Sad day Ousama no Shichiya has a bad translation, so I'm not even going to bother I could make more sense of the raws. Shuukatsu is great so far, I'll continue to read it. Haruyuki Bus is purrrrfect! Thank you thank you thank you!!! :'3

That is on my decided not to finish list, and I have no idea why. Mind giving me some mild spoilers? Or some incentive?
Quote from amaranthine
Interesting! I read the first chapter...how does the tone go? Does it get bubbly or depressing as it goes on? If it's the latter, I'll probably continue to read it...

Well, it's listed as a tragedy, and that usually means someone dies. And it is kindof heartrending.
The artist is the same as from Bus Hashiru though, and I count that as a huge plus.

I don't know, now it has been changed, it was different this morning (but I don't remember it anymore).
Mahoraba is great for its slice of life.

Well I would say Basara, but I don't know if you count that as one or not.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Though they were strangers to each other at first. Then start to fall in love with each other without knowing the other one's true identity.
