I'm looking for shojo (soap opera style) anime. Fell in love with Marmalade Boy, Chobits, Hankuyo Maids. Please help me!

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyo (His And Her Circumstances) is your perfect drug, if you haven't seen it yet. Plus you get tons of episodes per DVD.

Fûshigi Yûgi is probably something you'd like. It has a soap-operay feel to it (without to much of the lameness).

Fruits Basket.

Brother Dear Brother(done by the creator of Rose of Versailles who greatly inspired Revolutionary Girl Utena this one is also the master of all the drama and angst you could possibly imagine, it is the ultimate in soap opera shoujo) and Maria-sama ga Miteru if you don't mind a little girls liking girls(Maria-sama is relatively new and it's beautifully done). His and Her Circumstances as was mentioned. If you enjoy manga the ultimate in relationship drama is Peach Girl, I swear some of the cliff hangers make you want to kill yourself they're so bad!!. HanaKimi is another manga worth checking out.

If you want artsy stuff mixed with sword fighting go for Revolutionary Girl Utena. Hot Gimmik is a recent drama filled manga worth checking out. Fruits Basket was also mentioned, it's a fantastic series anime and manga both. There's Rumiko Takahashi's classic Maison Ikkoku in anime and manga form. (don't think it's a shoujo since it revolves around a guy but still, lots of relationship drama all over the place) Those are all the great show stoppers I can think of. Again I highly recommend Brother Dear Brother aka Oniisama E, if you can find it up for download somewhere get it you won't be disappointed! Sadly it's not liscensed so it can be hard to come by but it's well worth it

Angel's Tail (Tenshi no Shippo) was very cute, and I absolutely love Mamotte Shugogetten and Full Moon wo Sagashite. They are not so much "soap operas" as they are romantic comedies, but they're somewhat heartwarming and colorful ^__^

Would CCS count? It's a magic-girl thing, but it also has a lot of relationship stuff going on.

Kimi ga Nozomo Eien.

'nuff said

Hmm, would Kanon count also?
