I want to read a manga with a male lead who is in some way awesome, like being verry smart (like in Spiral ),...having a special ability or tallent (for example:...being a great hacker as in Bloody Monday or a master thief as in DNAngel ), possessing a special ability...etc.

But I don't want him to be kinda of an idiot with a strong will like in MxO or as in the most shounen mangas (I prefer shojo).

I like mangas like the one mantiont above and:
[dath note]
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Dengeki Daisy kind of ....
ES
Monochrome Factor

and so on ....

but i don't want bad art like in Blame! (it's only my opinion ) but good art like in (it's also only my opinion) Spiral, ES or Skip Beat only some examples but I think you have noticed that I want good looking boys.(if the art isn't to bad and the story is good I read seinen, too)

I don't want the genres harem, hentai, ecchi, yuri or shojo ai but I like shounen ai and yaoi is also ok.

I hope someone can help me ^^ thx

Vampire Yuuji Kai
That guy is just awesome, in the beginning you might not think so, and it's not just for his powers, you'll start to understand what i mean towards the ending. That guy is one of the most awesome male leads. He leaves lelouch behind in all aspects.

I can only say about seinen/shounen:
Vampire Juujikai seconded
Historie
Monster genius surgeon
Ares

I really don't know about the art because what is good for one isn't for all. I can say Ares' art is quite peculiar. If you want bishounen the best choice is Vampire Juujikai.

________________
What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:

Yuki Kaori's: Angel Sanctuary, 0 no Soukoushi, Count Cain + Godchild. I am sure you will like those main guys. They are all good-looking and special or have a special talent.

Petshop of Horrors and Shin Petshop of Horrors

Ghost Hunt - Interesting story. And a lot of volumes are scanlated.
Zombie-Loan - Attractive/cool guys. There's a little yuri (?) but it's ignorable and not important (and I am not gonna spoil...).

And you might be interested in Ilegenes. It's a shounen-ai.

Taishou Mugen Kitan - Shoujo + shounen-ai short stories. Should have guys with special abilities.

Defence Devil - Main guy is smart. Good art. Doesn't really have much (annoying) ecchi. You can always drop it if you don't like.

Seinen mangas:
Innocent W (a little ecchi but shouldn't be a big deal)
Bitter Virgin - No supernatural ability but you should try this good drama/romance. The guy is decent. And I generally prefer male protagonist instead of female. This one didn't disappoint me.
Blood Alone - Just good.
Dogs and Dogs: Bullets & Carnage - Good heroes and good art.
M.C. Law - Main guy is clever.

I guess you should start xxxHolic now? It's long and fully scanlated.

The main guy in Liar Game is clever and awesome. Art is decent.

Akagi (anime) - The art might not be to your liking, but the main character's awesomeness can't be denied.
Bartender
Cesare
Jiraishin
Kurosagi
Kuroshitsuji
Shin Angyo Onshi

Reading: Kingdom, Sangokushi, Historie

maybe immortal rain - shoujo. as per title, the main lead is immortal
trinity blood - another shoujo, deals with vampires (Abel is kinda special )

Non-shoujo:
hellsing - godlike protagonist (Alucard), art may be a little too ugly for your taste
tokyo babylon, X - subaru, kamui etc.
Nabari no Ou - Miharu

Shin Angyo Onshi Awesome

D-ASH So what if it has Ecchi? is not caused by stupid situations, and I have the feeling you will like it a lot.
Haruka na Machi e bliss

Majin Oh great always goes nuts at some point in his mangas, but is a good read
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Defense Devil
Mahou Sensei Negima! It overflows with Ecchi, but as the plot advances, the manga improves, dunno if you will like it, but never the less JACK RAKAN RULES!!!! and all the male kids are kind of Bishi in their adult form.

Akumetsu You like Death Note, and this one is almost as good, just that this one was done first

PS: it went a little nutty in the last chapters, but I won't complain.

Fullmetal Alchemist DUH
Aflame Inferno Some Ecchi, but is good



________________

I guess you could also try Bakuman, by Death Note authors (and as text-heavy as DN). The main guys are talented and the art is certainly good.

Adarushan no Hanayome - Shoujo with a male lead. Wouldn't say awesome but not bad.

Seconded Bakuman and FMA.

Also try:
Rurouni Kenshin- Skilled swordsman who is a former assassin.
Gintama- Also a swordsman.

Liar Game akiyama is genius in psychology

Lost+Brain Hirama Ren genius in hypnosis and top student in school (people say it's similar to death note but it's not)

Many aspects are not similar to DN. The motivations of the MC are different (and gave me the look). I personally wouldn't recommend this to someone looking for an "awesome" lead. The story itself is not well-made, with lots of over-exraggerated and over-dramatized stuff. Meh... O_O
