Captivating Romance 5h1n61

Hi!And here I am again... I really need your help (I need motivation and inspiration to write! xD).I've been dying to read something special. Not that regular high school drama/romance. I'm soooo sick of that. I'm looking for something along the lines of what Kare Kano, Mars, Cat Street, make you feel... Which means a truly complete story and not just that happy-go-lucky/common story. That captivating story, that makes you want for more and more until you finish.But here's the problem... It must have romance and it must be a finished manga (I prefer something not on-going). And I don't like shoujo-ai, shounen-ai, yuri, yaoi, hentai, lolicon, shotacon, mechas and incest.So I hope you can help me! x3f2y

Maybe...
My Heart is Beating Premise sounds really weird, but it's actually a very nice read and touches on other subjects other than love
Lovely Complex Well, the couple is definitely different from its other famous romantic counterparts. I like the take on how if you really love someone, you look past their appearance.
Six Half & Bitou Lollipop Both mangas are by the same author. They're not finished scanlating, but if you haven't read them, you should give them a chance! 🙂

Try basara. The art may feel a bit different at first, but it grows on you as you get farther with the story. So give it a try. It is definitely one of my all time favorites and an epic love story.

I started Hana to Akuma a while ago, but I haven't finished. Not quite in the mood for it, since it's too sweet. I dropped Angel Diary, since I found it confusing, but I'll try to give Full Moon another try (even though I found it way too sweet). About the others, I'll see if I like them. Thank you ^^

It was one of the last stories I tried to read. I had to pause it, since it was so dramatic and nerve-racking. But I'll continue it. Thank you ^^
Still accepting more suggestions! ^^

Check out Yumeka Sumomo's works. They're really good. A lot of her works are a collection of short stories, so even if there is a shounen-ai tag a story or some might be straight romance, so read their description before overlooking them. :]
Out of her stories, I think Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan is the closets to what you want.
If you are okay with mature stories, give the Deep Love series a go.
It's not completed yet and it's a webtoon, but Can't See Can't Hear But Love is good.
I haven't read it all yet, but the 3rd story of Kono Koi wo Wasurenai. was good.

My suggestions would be (note some have already been said):
Ouran High School Host Club
Kitchen Princess
Card Captor Sakura (kinda childish but i love it)
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
Rave (adventure mostly)
Shinshi Doumei Cross and Special A may not be exactly what you're looking for but are good
those were all the completed manga
if you want ongoing i'd say
1/2 Prince
Akagami no shirayukihime
Kaichou wa Maid-sama
Skip Beat
Akuma to Love Song
Hibi Chouchou (only like 9 chapters so far)
Last Game
Love So Life
...and probably more
sorry if i didn't help or gave you something you read/weren't looking for

Yumeka Sumomo is my favourite mangaka, so I already read all of her works xD I prefer to read already completed stories. ^^
Thank you ^^

I dropped Skip Beat and Kaichou wa Maid-sama. And I already read pretty much all of your suggestions (except one or two, at most). Thank you, anyway ^^

The only one I didn't read from all of those is Faster than a Kiss. And Kurohime. But I don't know if that's what I'm looking for... Thank you ^^
Well, still accepting more suggestions! If I didn't read them already xD
I don't want that usual plot (like Special A or any kind of high school romances like that one). I really wanted something deep... Kare Kano, Kanata Kara, Cat Street are good examples of good romances. I'm a huge fan of romance, so I already read quite a lot. My lists are public, if you want.
