I was just wondering if there is a manga or anime where the main character/hero falls for a dark/tan girl. The only place I have ever seen this kind of outcome is.....well..........in........porn...or hentai, and I do mean the only place.

I just want to know if their is one out there that has nothing to do with sex or is just not hentai. I do like echi just not borderline at least in manga, hentai is the opposite for me.

The only one I can think of off the top of me head is Peach Girl. Hope that's in your strike zone

Threads of Time well kinda..
Flower Flower its shoujo ai though (nothing explizit as of yet)

Threads of time - sounds interesting (very similar to inyuyasha though).

Flower flower - sounds okay, might cheak it out (soujo ai doesn't affect me to much, I don't really mind girl X girl relationships).

Peach girl - good suggestion, but soujo is definatly not somthing I like to go into.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I also used peach girl connection to tanned characters just to discover that the majority of characters that I was looking for really is in hentai. That just pisses me off, well good part is at least they have some that aren't. (but wait their soujo, GOD DAMMIT)

Berserk sort of fits.

I was actually interested in this at one point, till I read it had rape in there. I mean freezing was good till it took a NTR turn, so for me berserk might be good till it takes that rape turn (from what I read on it that might be pretty early on though).

Ipaasha its a shoujo oneshot though..

GUESS WHO??

Just for the record Triela (main character) from Gunslinger Girl has dark skin , but it's definitely not a manga you want to read hoping for a good romance story.

What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:

The female lead in Lequios is dark skinned. But so far I don't see romance, it's more to sci-fi...

There are some but too few! WE NEED MOAR DARKSKINNED CHICKS IN OUR MANGA!~

Yes, there is one rape scene. It's not very graphic, but rape nonetheless. A word of advice: Do not pick up Berserk unless you plan on reading manga for the remainder of your life. Berserk has been going on for over 20 years and doesn't seem to be nearing the end anytime soon. Also, the dark-skinned heroine of this series became retarded (not mind break, just herp derp retarded) after being raped. They also haven't made any progress in the storyline in the past year, it seems. Maybe if they got weekly serialization it'd be worth reading, but this monthly shit makes it unbearable
I really can't think of any other series with dark-skinned heroines. Japanese really like the pale-skinned girl. Any tan girls are usually considered "Americanized," or something, and are usually sluts that are looked down on. I can't remember what they call them. Any kind of tan on a girl usually lasts a few chapters at most.

I think you can read "if we could meet by the sea" (I read it on fakku).

Helena is like that. However, romance is not the main focus of the story. Be also prepared for some unpleasant surprises.
