There are plenty of well-written tragedies out there because a tragedy needs to be written well in order to be effective. But how about well-written comedy (in its traditional definition)?

-happy- manga?
Happy isn't a comedy. I assume you knew there was a manga called "Happy!". : )
@ Matt
I've read comedy manga's but I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for... It's not slapstick comedy though, right?
Allow me to clarify.
The traditional definition of tragedy was a story in which the hero made the wrong choice, i.e. Romeo and Juliet. A comedy was one in which the hero made the right choice. So when I say I'm looking for a traditional comedy, I'm looking for a happy manga: the opposite of a tragedy. I should have said that to begin with.
So I'm looking for a happy-ending manga with deep characters and a good story. Preferably light in tone, too.
fairy tail is pretty light.
So when you say comedy, you don't mean a funny thing?
Goddammit he means like The Divine Comedy.
Just something happy and/or hopeful. Come on, I just read Wolfsmund. Excellent writing (probably the best I've seen in manga), but the most depressing thing I've ever read. Is it too much to ask for excellent writing and a hopeful story?
I'll start reading Fairy Tail. Is it well-written or standard shonen-action fare (or well-written shonen-action fare)?
I'd go into detail about why I'm looking for a happy story, but I have a feeling I always overexplain stuff on this forum.
free collar kingdom is pretty happy. its drama/comedy but not very ...deep:)
Um romeo and juliet is a comedy
