Does anyone have any good shoujo romance anime recommendations?

My sister and I like to watch anime together but we can think of anything new to watch! Our preferred genre is shoujo romance and some examples of series that we have already seen and loved are ouran high school host club, kaichou wa maid sama, nana, and fruits basket (in that order). So if anyone knows any animes that are similar to these or that you think we would enjoy watching, please make a suggestion!

And it would be much appreciated if you could tell us your favorites or any that we absolutely must watch if you leave multiple suggestions so we know where to start! (meaning please no random lists of like 20+ shows) Thank you in advance!

P.s. something with an English dub would be preferable, but definitely not necessary, it would also be great if its something available on Netflix!

    I don't know how old you guys are, but if you've seen NANA, then some of these should be fine. Also, I'm not sure if any are dubbed, because I'm more accustomed to watching subs, sorry. Err... I also don't use Netflix, I use the internet, sorry 'bout that. :c

    Paradise Kiss- I loved it, it's basically about modelling and fashion and such, but it's romance. I'd definitely suggest watching this, because the creator is Ai Yazawa, who also created NANA.

    Vampire Knight- Like the title suggests, it's about vampires. Really hot ones at that, so yeah, EYE CANDY<3 At first I didn't like this series, but I gave it another shot and got totally into it! It has a slice of action, but it's mostly romance/drama. The art is great though, I love it!

    Gakuen Alice- Alright, you might start watching this and think 'Why is there a bunch of kids?' But it's hilarious and heart-wrenching all mixed in one. Super cute, yet it tugged at my heart. The manga goes on longer.

    Kimi ni Todoke- OH EM GEE. WATCH THIS. JUST WATCH IT.

    Lovely Complex- It's about two class clowns, really funny. The girl is super tall and the guy is super short, which makes everything complex for them. xD Pretty good as far as I remember.

    Skip Beat- I remember this being absolutely wonderful. It's about a girl(Kyoko) who is madly in love with this guy(Sho?). Sho becomes super famous, and before Kyoko notices, he's completely ditched her(they agreed to run off together before). She gets angry and decides to take revenge by becoming an actress and making her way up.

    La Corda D'oro- It's like a reverse harem, which I usually hate, but this is an exception. It takes place in a musical school, in which the musically talented students wear white uniforms and the normal ones wear black. A musical competition is held, because the school fairy rings this bell thing(lol okay I just made it sound retarded), and somehow the main character is chosen to be in it. However, she's one of the normal students, and she has no idea how to play any instruments. Lots of cute guys. ;)

    Yumeiro Patissiere- Ichigo, a complete glutton, goes to eat at a sweets exhibit(type thing, I don't remember) when a certain dish stays on her mind. She goes the find the creator, and finds out it was made by a very well-known/respectable pastry chef. he is astonished by her taste palate(I think is what it's called, basically she can identify ingredients within a dish easily) and recommends her to St. Marie Academy, a school for potential pastry chefs. She goes to realize that she is the only one with horrible cooking skills.

    Some others to watch if you need to:

    Kamichama Karin

    Shugo Chara!

    Tokyo Mew Mew

    Peach Girl

    Air (TV)

    Full Moon wo Sagashite

    Good luck and have fun!~
