I've read the following, or some of it...
-Mars: read some parts. Most of what I read was really good. A complicated story. If you like psycological stories that really go deep and stuff, it's good for you.
-Kodacha: Definitely a must read. Also another complicated story. I LOVED it A lot. It's cute, but also has a deep story that unfolds as you read more. Rich actress, with a poor boy and a terrible famliy background. Might sound typical at first, but as the story unwinds, it'll be hard to put down.
-Mamotte Lollipop: I read a summary. It seemed really interesting. But then I watched like an episode of the anime and I didn't even want to start the book. They might be totally different, but if that's the kind of plot that the book has, it's too kiddish for me and stuff. But I dunno if you're into that.
-Charisma Doll: Have it. Read it. Um...it's good at first. Nothing too Wowish. It's just something to pass time along. Nothing you would read for fun. It only has 2 volumes as well. Really short and doesn't really portray characters well. The plot outline would've been good, but it moves too fast and takes away from the story.
-Special A: I read some. Just like Charisma doll, I think it moves too fast. Not a manga I would like to read. It's more of a romance comedy. I think those are fun, but they don't really go into detail and bore me.
-Parfait Tic: I really LOVE this series. I'm dying to read more. It's REALLY good. It's not too complicated, but really makes you feel like the characters are real. And you fall in love with them. The plot line is pretty good. One lesson I've learned from reading this, "Never mistake pity for love." I think this may be one of my favorite series. DEFINITELY a MUST read. I've only read up to volume 12. I can't seem to find the rest. Maybe you can help ME find it.

You're My Girlfriend
Genre(s): comedy, romance, shoujo
From the author of Special A, a oneshot about a girl named Hatsune with a "bad mouth", for lack of a better description. She's kind-hearted and all, but her mouth spews the total opposite of what she means (which is probably due to the fact that she grew up with five brothers, a father, and no mom). And so she is seen as an arrogant, mean girl at her school, and that is why she hasn't had a boyfriend for the past fifteen years of her life. Well, that is, until she gets accepted at this Maidens' Club, where she meets a guy called Kirie with a somewhat unique habit (it happens when a girl comes within six inches of him). How will these two fare? Will Hatsune finally have a boyfriend at last? Will she be more than just a "girl" friend?

I liked Tenshi Ja Nai. It was sweet and funny, just don't expect much in the way of believability.
I didn't care for Sensual Phrase, and in fact, I actually stopped in the middle, which I don't usually do. It started out good, or promising at least, but started to get pretty predicable and, well...I hate to say it, but kinda ridiculous after a while. I understand that some people really like it, though, so I guess it's just a matter of taste.
You should try Vampire Knight. It's really good, and volume 4 is about to come out. ^_^
Does it have to be something on the list? It seems to me that you're a shojobeat person b.c i see several mangas by shojobeat on the list. why don't you read more of those: Yurara and Ultra Maniac are some good ones. They're all cute, light, and funny.
Mars is good but it gets a little to dramatic and over the top and you kind of get sick of buying it after a while. I've never read Kodocha, b.c i think a manga about a 10 year old seems a little strange, but people swear its god's gift. orange planet is supposed to be really good, that's actually something i was planning on reading next.
Among the ones you mentioned, I'd suggest:
-Mars
-Kodocha
And check these as well, they're great and very romantic^_^
-Afterschool Nightmare by Setona Mizushiro
-Emma by Kaoru Mori
-Tramps like us by Yayoi Ogawa
