I class Romance as anything where the romance between two characters is a main part of the plot.

For example, I would class Romeo and Juliet as a Romance, but not a James Bond film as the romantic bits there are only a small part of the story.

 
 

Chibi Vampire (Karin)

The main plot involves the deepening emotions between a vampire named Karin (who is the titular character in the original Japanese version which was named after her) and Kenta, a normal human.

Chobits

Japan has a bit of a reputation of being the home of various craziness, and if any country is ripe for a good bit of social commentary then it's probably Japan.

Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play

It’s a traditional tale of a school girl transported to a historical fantasy setting. You may be thinking InuYasha and you wouldn’t be too far off the mark, except that InuYasha is more aimed at male readers, where this is slightly more for female readers.

Instant Teen: Just Add Nuts

If that sounds a little bit silly, then let me assure you that Instant Teen is deliberately trying to be very silly. I mean, Tokyopop have even gone so far as to design the cover to look like a serial packet.
