I'm looking for something in which the main lead falls for someone who is super nice to her or him and later finds out that the person he/she falls in love with seems to be nice to her/him just because there's a moral obligation to do so. Something that screams: "I'm guilty!" "I hurt you," "You'll be better if I'm not exist." I want to be able to see his struggle of not being able to say why he's being super nice to the girl. Or the gender can be reversed.

For examples,

If he kills her parents and then feels guilty so he takes care of her. Jaki no Sakura (unfortunately isn't scanlated). Or becomes sort of her guardian or her guardian angel.

Also, if by any of his action, the main lead's parents got killed. In the attempt to protect him or because of his stupid jokes or pranks they got killed. Like if he sets fire and killed many people. Or he crossed the street and then, the main lead's parents try to save him and got killed in the accident. Or if he's about to get shoot, the main lead's parents protect him.

If by chance, his action left the girl a permanent injury or trauma. Like a scar because she got involved in a car accident (he's driving, she walks passed the street). Or the accident makes her blind or unable to walk. Or deep trauma psychologically.

If by chance something that he did play a major part and have a direct consequence in the main lead's life, making her growing up unhappy. Kimi ga Uso o Tsuita

Anything that plays along that line.

No hentai, yaoi/yuri, please. Prefer shoujo or josei but good seinen or shounen are welcome as well. And prefer something with happy ending (if possible). If there's no manga like this, can you recommend film or novel? My first preference is of course manga or manhwa tho

Thanks! biggrin

Have sxm on my want to read soon but forgot to read it. So i'm gonna read it soon smile didn't know exactly what the story's gonna be about before

thanks hobbitelf518

I'm yet to read Kono Koi wo Wasurenai after I'm done wit the week. Have been putting that on my list since the beginning of the month

thanks Blique

Dengeki Daisy
Spoiler (highlight to view)
came to my mind as I wrote the thread but isn't Kusaki asked by the female lead's brother? So technically he doesn't owe her anything or that the brother got killed because of him? Or I'm wrong? If it fits on my category, I'll definitely have to pick it up again since I got bored with it


thanks what-if_machine

more suggestions please

About Dengeki Daisy
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Kurosaki feels guilty of Teru's brothers death, he feels some kind of obligation and need of protecting her (Also because the brother asks him to). He makes it pretty clear in the volumes ahead, he blames himself for the death of Teru's brother.

So not sure if that's what you're asking for.

More suggestions? biggrin

Hmm, maybe Genshiken. The guy appears in the first chapter, though the girl doesn't appear til chapter 23. But after that, the relationship becomes a main focus.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
She had a boyfriend, and was pressured by her classmates to draw a yaoi doujinshi involving him. The secret came out in the worst possible way, and her boyfriend dropped out of school without a word to her. In the current timeline, she draws a yaoi doujinshi involving another guy, and then she falls in love with him. Thus starts the "I love you, but you'd surely hate me if you knew the truth..." plot.


Ah, and Glass Mask
Spoiler (highlight to view)
He pretends to harass Maya so it adds to her passion in acting, plus he encourages her through a secret identity. He later hides Maya's mother away from her so that the media pays more attention to Maya and her unfortunate circumstances. This backfires when the mother dies as a result of trying to see her daughter, and Maya blames him for it. However, he still helps her from the shadows and struggles to repress his love for her.

Novel - The Autumn Castle by Kim Wilkins

This fits pretty well and is quite a cool story:
Spoiler (highlight to view)
The main lead's boyfriend killed her parents in a car crash, which left her with chronic back pain. He is pretending to be in love with her and she doesn't know yet.
She finds out after he has an affair with a fairy from another world (the fairy was a childhood friend of the main character).
Meanwhile a hunter is after fairies as he uses their bones to make sculptures. So genre wise it is a bit of a fantasy/horror/romance
