I'm looking for a manga with an innocent, adorable puppy dog male lead. Must be complete, and preferably no yaoi, yuri, ecchi, hentai, smut, or harem (unless it's a reverse harem). It's okay if he's more of a side character as long as he shows up often and it's a good manga. I might take similar suggestions as long as there's a good reason for it. I also might consider a yaoi, since I know it's easier to find a character like that there. Thanks in advance~ 6h4c6m

When I said 'death' before 'dishonor', I meant alphabetically.

Imagine what would happen if there were no more hypothetical situations.

Maybe Crush on you
Not yaoi but shounen ai 😕

Favorite Art:
Gangsta

My Hero! - he's the lead
Strobe Edge - side character but he gets his own special oneshot

I also go by amatsu.

Merupuri
Beast Master

Koori no Mamono no Monogatari - it's a shounen ai, but nothing really happens, so it's safe to read. The main character is so innocent that he's almost stupid sometimes, but he's still likeable and not annoying.
Asterisk - it's generally a nice, fluffy and innocent manga, also a shounen-ai.

You might be interested in my old thread "genki" male lead then. I am still looking too...

I'm in idol hell T.T

Hmm maybe Kimi wa Pet. The male lead is puppy like and somewhat innocent. It's josei and complete.

God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things...
At this point I am so far behind, I will never die.

Fufufufu..

Thank you guys for the suggestions, and theLettuceGarden, for the topic, I will look through it. ^^ I would still prefer a guy and girl, but thanks for the shounen ai too. I'll read it sometime my mother is not around... 😛

Sekine's Love - I don't think he's quite the "puppy dog" type, but he's surprisingly innocent/gentle-hearted for a man his age? Just something about him makes you really just want to take care of him.

Eclipse Hunter (Novel) - If you don't mind a novel, the main guy is supidly cutesy. It's mostly a action comedy.

It might sound weird to suggest this, but the most adorable and puppy-like male lead I can come up with would be the one in Miman Renai by TAKASHIMA Hiromi. Even though he is an eroge programmer nearing 30, he is totally love-struck when he meets a certain, fluffy middle school girl. Somehow, the mangaka manages to avoid the creepy paedophile-stalker scenario. Instead of that, we get to see a peculiar innocent relationship grow between the unlikely pair. Their interactions are so twee that it is difficult not to take them into your heart.

To be savoured:

• Blood Alone by TAKANO Masayuki
• Otoyomegatari by MORI Kaoru
• Gangsta. by Kohske
• Seishun Kouryakuhon by AKIZUKI Sorata

A reminder; I'd really like it to be complete. I have too many great stories I'm riveted by only to lose interest while waiting for more chapters, and it disappoints me. :/ still looking for more though, thanks for the suggestions. ^^
