I want to read a manga where the protagonist has to keep his/her identity a secret from everyone in his/her life, including his/her parents. I would also like for the antagonist to be unaware about the protagonist's identity at the beginning, but later finds out about it. Genre: Preferably shounen, but it's okay if it's not. No yaoi, yuri, or smut. ________________ [CENTER]Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.[/CENTER]

(protagonist doesn't have parents) Although, she keeps it hidden from her parent figures, which should fulfill your request. Even though it is shoujo, it's not stereotypical-romance-cheesiness that most shoujos are. The romance actually doesn't rule the story. Good luck!

Her mother orders her to behave and to start a new life, but again and again she is back to her usual self, even if she tries her best to cover things up for most of the people around her. * Dendrobates (Seinen) Spoiler (mouse over to view) Sengawa works actually as an accountant for the police, while he is an assassin and gets his equipment out of the archive. * Bloody Monday * Tiji-kun! ________________ "It's like love is a bonus in your life.

I really love it~! also I second Oresama Teacher and 1/2 Prince... really awesome :3 My list (all of them are girls as the main lead... except Yankee-kun to Megane-chan); Fly High! - the girl hides (at the beginning) that she's strong and trained in the mountains for 6years~!(but her parents know 'bout it..) Red Lion - it's awesome. the girl, after being expelled, hides that she was a well-known delinquent (her parent know about it too) Alyosha! - the girl was a hidden assassin... now she wants to live a normal live (she doesn't have parents) Yankee-kun to Megane-chan - she might look like a normal nerdy girl.... but she was a delinquent! (not sure if she still have parents... but I think yes and they do know about it) Gokusen - she is a nerdy teacher (I personally duislike the style of the drawings.. but the story is awesome!).. but hey hey, She's a head of Yakuza Family!? Beauty Pop - the girl hides her talent of being an awesome hairstylist.... Arisa - the girl is disgusted as her twin 'cuz her twin tried to commit suicide! Wait...
