When I say aggressive, I mean it in relationships and it's as if she is taking the lead. So, basically, I don't want to find an irritating heroine which doesn't let a guy kiss her or do her but a heroine who is matured and brave enough and also understands the guy. In a nutshell: -The heroine should be somewhat brave, daring, bold or aggressive. (They all mean the same thing.) -Preferably, the manga should be shoujo or josei but shounen and seinen are fine. I can stomach almost anything. -Obviously, the manga should have obvious romance. The heroine doesn't necessarily have to be that bold. I want a heroine that actually allows her man to touch her and when I say that, I don't mean those typical heroines you find in most shoujo manga where she resists at first, shouting "No!" etc, and then lets herself be raped, etc. I don't want the typical heroine who gives in in the end. I want a heroine to be bold/brave from the start. And maybe gives her man a kiss or two once in a while? Thank you very much. Links to categories and similar topics are also appreciated. ________________ Made the set. Credits to Rae from Offrecord who drew Dante in my Avatar.

I haven't heard of Random Walk but it looks like a worth-read. Hmm...I'd like to add one more thing I forgot. I think what I'm looking for is a heroine that isn't shy. Yep, that's it. They're just too many typical blushing heroines, blah blah blah. >,< ________________ Made the set. Credits to Rae from Offrecord who drew Dante in my Avatar.
