This is an emerging genre in shoujo is what I think.. Main couple only please -a normal guy tries to hook up with a girl moderately good looking or even popular. I would prefer a shoujo if there is any like that...
Some obvious examples are
Monkey High
My Hero!
Non-shoujos like the following are okay
Love Roma
But these are usually harem and ecchi which takes the cuteness factor wa-y out...
Mangas like cynical orange and swan lake dont count as the guy is popular himself
Please no harem, ecchi or smut and no large age gap between the characters like a male adult trying to get it with a high school girl, because he is an awkward artist etc ...
Thanks in advance...

Maybe Fujoshi Kanojo. It's a stretch, but it's the closest I can think of...
He's a normal-looking college student, she's a slightly-older cool beauty.

its probably going to happen soon in Itoshi no Nina---the premise is pretty awesome, the guy decent, girl really popular and since genre is romance it will happen soon enough i think. Its josei though but that shouldn't matter right.
She is Mine--the guys are just normal, well they look like bishies but in the storyline they are not popular or anything so far. In fact one of the two guys is a virgin lol. The problem is there are probably going to be two guys(who are best mates) gunning for the girl and the girl herself is experienced in love, confident, cute and perhaps popular. Try it out and see.
Smash!-- um this is shounen and last i remembered there wasn't any ecchi. The romance is not the focus though, its on badminton but well it is definetly there and its quite cool in the way it is potrayed. The girl is very sweet and they both sincerely love eachother and you don't have to wait till the end of the manga for them to start going out or anything. so try and see.
