I would suggest Pretty Face cause it's funny and weird. Well if you didn't want to look it up, it's basically about a guy who has this crush on this girl. They both get into an accident and are rushed to the hospital. However when he wakes up, he notices that he has gone under the knife of a crazy plastic surgeon who "fixed" his mangled face into the girl of his dreams. Why? Because it was the only picture he had with him. When he asks about the real girl in the picture, no one knows what happened to her. So he lives her life trying to figure out what happened to her.

Bokura ga Ita is another good long manga aboutlife/romance and all that high school stuff. It's more of a "drama", but it kept me interested. Read the manga before watching the anime, cause the anime leaves out the final scene.

I think Mx0 is something you would like if you liked Ichigo 100%. I never read it but it looks interesting.

That sounds weird enough to be interesting.

I would suggest W Juliet as a possible starting point. This series is 14 volumes long and is completely available in English via Viz Media. It centers around two members of a high school drama club and incorporates all the elements you listed as desirable to some degree.

Another possibility would be Hana Kimi, also released by Viz. Plenty of wacky, cross-dressing hijinks in this series, and it is 23 volumes long. About half of it has been released in English.

If you're looking for series with anime counterparts, however, neither of these titles would qualify. There is a live-action drama version of Hana Kimi airing in Taiwan right now, but it's highly doubtful that will make it over to the USA.

I can suggest to you Lovely Complex, about spoiler[a girl who is really tall and a guy who pretty short, and over she time she finds out she's fallen for him, which the story then goes into her trying to get him to fall for her and relationships beyond that.]

Wow...You're asking for a Romance/Slice of Life/Comedy and no one here has mentioned School Rumble yet? School Rumble seems to be exactly what you're looking for going by what you posted in your first post. Just push through the first 15 or so chapters, they're kinda episodic and not much for the story and in no way portray the awesomeness of the series once it establishes an actual story line. Anyways basic storyline is girl falls in love with boy, different boy falls in love with girl, different girl falls in love with that boy and much hilarity ensues because of the misunderstandings that come from the screwed up love triangle. It's still going too so it's something to look forward to every week.
