Hey, I'm looking for a shounen/seinen manga where the main character have an interesting personality and not the usual "I'll protect everyone".

Either something like Sheila from Superior or someone with a bit more twisted personality like Natsuo from Teppu

While I would prefer any manga with a bit of adventure/action, if you've got any good suggestions outside of that where one of the main characters are interesting like that, that would also be appreciated.

yeah I see you're getting bored with these typical main characters, I'll try to recommend some manga based on the MC's personality

"I'll crush anyone who dares stand in my way"
Death Note

"I have to save myself! Even with sacrifice of others!"
Mirai Nikki

"I have to kill her, I have to kill her!"
Tsumi to Batsu (OCHIAI Naoyuki)

"Today's prey,,, is she!
Onani Master Kurosawa

and actually I think every seinen Manga consists of nontypical shounen MC

________________

I've read death note before and it's one awesome manga, I actually tried Mirai Nikki but the male lead was to much of a wimp, he just got on my nervs, will check out the other two tho. Thanks

Hmmm...

Level E -mc is a self-absorbed alien/prince
Iryuu - Team Medical Dragon -medical manga, and Asada is definitely out of the norm.
Kurosagi -mc is a swindler.
Durarara!! -multiple protagonists but each one is more or less out of the norm.
Usogui -mc is a genius gambler (and clinically insane imo.)

Those were off the top of my head. If I have more suggestions I'll come back.

Hoshi no Samidare help me save the world, so I can destroy it afterwards... sure, why not?
Iris Zero a MC with brains!
Blood Lad anime-loving vampire who always keeps his promises
Chou Dokyuu Shoujo 4946 I'll protect it as long as it is a girl
Ai Kora and Lock-On! same as above, but slightly different
Big Order he's kinda... well...
Mysterious Girlfriend X mysterious...
Seishun For-get! hilarious!
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge is a bit strange sometimes...
Gwisin Byeolgok both of them are kinda special
Melo Holic just try it!
Densha Otoko quite realistic but still like a fairy tale

I guess I have some more, but those should keep you occupied, make noise if that's not enough for you.

Seikon no Qwaser : Even through the protagonist do perverted things, he has mysterious personnality and really stoods out of most typical harem male leads here.

Code Geass : The MC has evil plans.

Big Order : The MC also have evil plans and wants to conquer his world.

Hajimete no Aku : The MC is a part of a evil organization.

No, he doesn't. Selfish would be a more accurate term, at least at first.

It's hard to find a manga when the main lead isn't normal or clichéd (aside many seinen maybe). Very hard for me.

The World God Only Knows - Keima's all, "go away and lemme play my eroge."
Denpa Kyoushi - Kagami is all, "Leave me alone and let me do my NEET stuff."
Zippy Ziggy - Shingi is a huge dick, but you can't help but love him.
Beelzebub - Oogami is a total asshole, but he's funny as hell, like Shingi.
Ubel Blatt - Koinzell is a revenge hungry protagonist
Minamoto-kun Monogatari - Main character's creed is "I will sleep with all the girls I meet as revenge for them picking on me when I was young."

I also second Onani Master Kurosawa and Hoshi no Samidare.

I second Ubel Blatt & Seikon no Qwaser; their protagonists have no qualms about killing their enemies, though they are still essentially good guys.

Onani Master Kurosawa is known as the Death Note of masturbation.

They lack action or adventure, but Minamoto-Kun Monogatari & The World God Only Knows are also great reads.

yeah but it isn't true. Just because a panel was drawn in reference with Raito doesn't mean the whole story resembles each other
if you've actually read it, you'll realize they aren't similar at all


________________

Hunter x Hunter is quite unique in my opinion. Gon isn't trying to save the world or anyone in particular, not vying for fame or fortune. He's just trying to find his father, and it's not the typical action shounen formula of "find a bad guy, lose, get stronger and beat him, rinse and repeat."

Strangely enough I've been reading quite a few of those recently
Tower of God wait until you get to the second season to judge this. It changes.
Marionette
City of Dead sorcerer
Dendrobates
Attaque
Death Sweeper
Usogui
Magician
Dr. Frost
Peak (Im Gang-hyeok)
Mail
