Manga Search: Can anyone help me?

I'm a very picky person. The list I'm about to give you proves that fact. I've been searching for manga that have at least some of these things, but haven't been able to find any.

I'd be a big help if anyone can recommend some manga for me.

I want to read a manga with some of the following:

Heterosexual Relations

Action, comedy, romance, mystery

Please NO historical, mecha, or manga with high levels of ecchi/hentai

Seinen, Shoujo, or Shonen.

I want at least super competent female character that might even be a bad guy, evil in plain sight, or wearing a mask. She has to be smart (perhaps a bit manipulative) and competent at what she does. However, she can't be too perfect. That applies to the male character as well. However, he doesn't need to be as smart as she.

As for the relationships aspect, they can be platonic as well or simply obviously caring about the other but not knowing how to say so. I'm very open minded. However, I do have this thing against love triangles...especially when it develops into a pentagon. Displays of crazy-like jealously are cool. Like I said I dig a lot of tropes...except damsel in distress or anything else I've mentioned.

I want to read a manga where not everything is what it seems. Also it can get a bit bloody. I've read a lot of manga. I've read a lot of mainstream ones such as Naruto, Bleach, Haruhi Suzumiya. If it's super popular there's a good chance I've read it on a mangasite somewhere.

I'd appreciate a link, but it's okay if there isn't one. If someone does provide me with a link please make sure the manga site is safe. That being said (or written) I'm against anything related to Mangafox. I'm not stupid enough to press ads mind you.

Update:

Character development. Also I HATE "perfect" characters...

Again thank for your time.

    Sorry but to be realistic theres no anime that has everything u said.

    i suggest u to jst watch any anime, because then only u might find another type of anime thats amazing, u will never know if u never try different types of anime. I was also like that, when i reallllly liked one type of anime, i thought i would only search something similar. but i realize any anime could be good. i hated romance for instance, but realize there are many awesome romantic anime.

    so u should jst try any anime.
