Thread: Romance

I have read all the big titles, is there anything out there worth looking into?

i recommend the following... though you may have already read some of these

hana yori dango (c)
hana-kimi (c)
love monster (on-going)
fullmoon wo sagashite (c)
tsubasa (on-going)
hot gimmick (on-going)
zettai kareshi (on-going)

of course i've read way more than these... but i think these are really good and are definitely worth looking into

i can probably recommend a few more, but i can't think of much right now... i'll have to go through my collect first

best if you list what you all ready read

I have not read any of those listed. But I have read Ichigo, I's, Parfait, Love Hina, Open Seasme, and a few more I can not remember right now.

lol well ichigo and OS are still going, here's a few from my collection:

Hana Kimi (a must have)
Almost every Adachi manga has romance as one of the central parts.
Ah Ny Goddess
Ai Yori Aoshi
Angel Densetsu
Arcana Soul
Chobits
Flame of Recca (has romance elements and is a must read regardless :P)
Family Compo (bloody funny, shame its stalled)
Gekkoh
Girl Saurus and GS DX
Handsome Girlfriend
Hiatari Ryoukou
Ichigo and Chocolate
Iketeru Futari
Inu Neko Jump
IO
Kaede Typhoon
Kimagure Orange Road (a classic loooong one)
Kiss
Lilim Kiss
Love Monster
Loveless(Yaoi in this one among others)
Magic
MSN
Mermaids Saga
Midori no Hibi
Misty Boy
Nineteen
Oh! My Darling
Parallel (forerunner of Pastel, and well worth readin, even though its to short)
Perfect Twin
Ringo
Toshiue no Hito (bloody funny, very ecchi almost hentai, one of my all time faves)
Urusei Yatsura
Video Girl Ai
Wish
Wish to be beside you

I think they should keep you going for a while. Most can be found through the links post on this site, or through box torrents and hongfire.

wow a very nice list Talisman! (i've read about half , will read rest soon!)

Only ones that i can add is Psychic Academy and Pretty Face

I recommend:
Living Room www.directmanga.com
B-Shock http://shoujoheaven.com/modules/manga/ms1.php
and if you haven't read Salad Days your collection is sorely missing, cause its like the King of all Romance mangas. http://pinoyotaku.com/index.html

You shouldn't be disapointed by any of those.

I was going to add Psychic academy, but i felt the romance wasnt really the issue as such, and its only on a very subtle level we see it. Though the bond between the 3 is there, its played down quite a bit on the romance level until later volumes. But its still a damn good manga to read, the anime is almost as good, part from being short and only going upto vol 5

I'm waiting for them to finish it off Later vols of PA are awsome.

Adachi ones id reccomend are:

Touch
H2 (though i've kinda lost interest in this now, been going for waaaay to long)
Rough (one of my faves since its non-baseball and getting interesting now )
Katsu
Hiatari Ryoukou (Adachi's pure romance manga)
Miyuki (mothing like a bit of incest to stir the story along :P)


Miyuki is fun, step sister and bro meet for first time in something like 10 years, not knowing who each other is and sort of fall in love.

Hiatari Ryoukou is good, but its really short, one of Adachi's shortest i think, and i dont really like the ending, since it just stops in mid flow. To me it leaves a sence of being incomplete, but its still well worth reading.

And i cant reccomend it enough Hana Kimi is one of the best, but it is pure romance so for a lot of people its a bit dull, but its one of my faves. Also dont forget Misty Boy and Sexy Guardian, both are short 2vol manga's, but i really like them. Sexy Guardian was critercised aparently when it was first released since its a tad ecchi at times, no where near Gekkoh though hehehe.
