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)

Jack has tons and tons of angst, although considering he's had way way more than a normal human lifetime in which to accumulate it, it's not as excessive as it might be. However, it's all rather Saiyuki-ish in that the angst and backstory only comes out very slowly, in bits and pieces; he'd much rather joke and flirt rather than sit and soliloquize about his emo manpain.
