Steampunk?

 Watching Last Exile made me realize that, though I dislike most mecha, I like most steampunk that I've encountered(I think Steamboy is the only exception, off the top of my head...there are likely others if I think about it, though...I just try not to dwell on things I don't care for) but don't seem to run across it a lot, even though I know there's a lot out there..

Anyone want to rec me steampunk or gaslight romances, be they anime, manga or books?  (And tell me if it's available in the US) 

ETA:  wikipedia's page on steampunk

. . . I only read Ruse and Route 666. And a couple issues of The Crossovers.

Then you'll want to invest in the full-size collections, rather than the manga-size edition. Better quality, plus bonus materials. At this stage, it's crazy to try for hardcovers, so TPBs are the way to go.
