I know there is already a thread similar to this, but i am looking for something a bit different. I always see princess-like females in manga that have weak bodies and are unable to go outside a lot, and are always very pale and delicate or always fainting or have a weak heart or anemia or something. I am looking for a manga that has a male character like that. It doesn't even have to be the lead. He doesn't have to be especially effeminate, just have a weak body, if he is girly or not is fine. I hope i explained that good i couldn't find any examples 🙂 v6p22

Thank you
any genre is fine btw

The protagonist of Minna Ai no Seine is sort of like this. He doesn't faint or anything, but I'm pretty sure he often has asthma attacks; and as a result, is constantly fawned-over by his incredibly over-protective family.

Maybe you should try Kuroshitsuji.

I can't think of any which matc exactly, they're hardly princess-like males, but they all have a sickly male lead.

Fruits Basket - Lead guy, Yuki, was sickly as a child, so is fawned over to a degree. (it's more complicated than that but I don't want to give away spoilers)

Boku no hatsukoi o kimi ni sasagu - Lead guy, Takuma, has heart disease, but he isn't really frail. He is hospitalised a lot though, for obvious reasons.

I second Kuroshitsuji - again, not a all princess-like, but Ciel's young age and asthma give him weak bod, However, he is a strong person most of the time.

Also, here is the search for the category "illness" for yo to browse at your pleasure.

Hope ths helps.

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

ah thanks for these. i will definitely check out Boku no hatsukoi o kimi ni sasagu and Minna Ai no Seine. Unfortunatly i have already read Kuroshitshi (pure awesomeness) and I just couldn't read Fruits Basket at all 😔

also he doesn't have to be exactly princess-like, just weak/frail/sickly/whatever

how about Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari?

oh please do click this!
