Hi all! I couldn't find any threads or tags related to the topic I'm seaching for, so I made a new topic. Like the title said, I'm looking for a type of romance where the guy falls in love first, and it has to be obvious, like showing signs or emotions that he wouldn't normally show in front of other girls. It would be better but not required if he is unaware of this feeling, but the girl is somewhat aware of it but does not respond to it right away(however, she responds eventually). Haha, it's hard to explain, but if you watched the Korean Drama Secret Garden, you'll know excatly what I'm looking for. A manga example would be: Kimi no Sei
And no love triangles or one shots please! Thank you very much!

Thanks for the suggestion, although I read that one already. And there is a tag for it http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Male+Lead +Falling+in+Love+First
But there's only 4 mangas taged under that category and I also read most of them already...

I'm sure i've seen like, the exact same topic somewhere. sorry i don't have the link for you.

ummmmm Ouran High School Host Club. he falls in love first. some minor love triangles. but honestly, i doubt your going to find a shoujo or even shounen manga that doesn't have some love triangles. but nothing serious. neither protagonist ever questions their feelings for the other person, if that's what you mean.

maybe Dengeki Daisy. I'm pretty sure they fall in love around the same time, but he's aware of his feelings first, though he's confused about them . . . ? Anyway, there are absolutely no love triangles in this one. and it's a really sweet story.


sorry i'm not more helpful. but most of the stuff i read has love triangles.

Edit: Oh! Akagami no Shirayukihime. Sooo sweet. i love this manga. and he falls for her first. no love triangles.

mmm i think skip beat, kimi ni todoke, Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume might suit your taste.....

Yet.

kimi ni todoke

I hope u havent read this... as it falls totaly into wut u are looking for. And the love triangle in it isnt a big deal.

Yeah, by love triangle, I meant indecisive characters, like the ones that can't choose between the two people pursuing them. But all the suggestions made by you and the others are fine! Thanks guys! And keep them coming!

I think you would really enjoy Mango's Bone! It's a series with a guy MC who's the top of his class. When he does the introduction ceremony for his class, he falls in love at first sight with the second highest ranked student that's assisting him. He wants to show her that he really likes her, and that he's not trying to mess with her to get competitive over grades and class rankings, but his twin brother who likes to play pranks, and her best friend who hates him are making things difficult for him.
