Male-lead romance with actual controversy 463xx

I'm looking for a romance with a male lead that actually has some story to it. I'm quite tired of the typical shounen romance, and I'd read shoujo but I can't stand having the main character a female, as close-minded as that seems. In other words, I'd prefer a main character that isn't a hopeless loser that has no likable traits that seems to make females fall for him for no reason at all. Anyone have an idea? Much appreciated! =] 1b332k

Why not read shoujo with male leads?

I second sora no otoshimono I love the protagonist, he's awesome!!! But now that I think about it he just seems like a prevert with his moments... A rec it anyway.

Thanks very much for that Akari! As for bitter virgin and Unbalancex2 I've read them both. I really liked bitter virgin. Unbalancex2 has been on a hiatus for over a year, though, I believe. I will check out sora no otoshimono, thanks!

Seconded. Quite a story to this one.
This is shounen, but you also might want to try Pretty Face.

Seen all of adachi's mangas/animes. He's a genius at perfectly balancing two genres, unfortunately his mangas tend to end with a far too open ending, considering the romance in them are generally never developed much throughout the series except in a few chapters. Meh, can't be picky though. Your first recommendation, flawful, sounds interesting though. I'm definitely gonna read that. Thanks again, all!

smash! is a pretty good sports romance, and it doesn't take the male lead 80 chapters to finally ask the female counterpart out.
