all for girls

There are  of course  tons of comic books for girls, they divide in two categories shoujo (younger audience) and josei (for girls 18+). I always preferred other mangas, there is something uneasy when it takes 10 volumes of dating for the girl to get the first kiss, also all fiance, re-marrying parents business is starting to be extremely cliche. Not to mentioning all impossible scenarios of getting to live together by mistake or getting to be liked "by the most popular" guy at school. 
All of this stuff makes me shiver.
There are authors I find good are : josei - Nonomiya Tomoko (Nodame Cantabile, Tensai Family Company),  Yazawa Ai (Paradise Kiss, Nana), Yayoi Ogawa (Kimi wa Pet), shoujo: Ikuemi Ryo (Honey Bunny),  Suzuki Julietta (Kami-sama Hajimeshita, Karakuri Odetto). Also it would be good to mention that Harlem Beat wa Yoake Made by Takashima Kazusa (mostly author of yaoi), the story is really different from typical plot. 
Plus see Morinaga Ai, I'm kind of confused if I can call Yamada Tarou Monogatari shoujo.
