It can from every genre, she can be the main character or just the female lead, she can be protagonist or the antagonist, the manga can be told from her POV or not. The any restriction is that she has to be intelligent/smart/calculating/manipulative/anything along those lines. Other than being intellingent, she can be kind, cold, selfish, narcissistic, whatever, I don't care. She just has to be smart. The smarter, the better. Oh, and please mention both the character and the manga she's from. Thank you. ________________

At least I'm sure Queen is. 7 Seeds - Hana Bakemonogatari (Novel) series - Hitagi Senjogahara, Tsubasa Hanekawa Knight Run - the main character Sword Art Online (Novel) - Asuna Annarasumanara - main lead, forgot her name Dengeki Daisy - Teru

Basara Strategic, high emotional intelligence. Born leader. Ghost Sweeper Mikami Manipulative, "business"woman, always has the upperhand. Tenma no Ketsuzoku Can think and act for herself, even in an age where women should be submissive/obedient. Kisshou Tennyo Just try this one. Perhaps the most unique and strangely charismatic female lead I've read about. Very intelligent, knows how to play with minds. Dark, creepy ambiance. Gokusen Street smarts Eternal Sabbath Very smart. Has gone through high levels of schooling. Problem solving skills. Cheese in the Trap School smart. Special A School smart. Akujo Seisho Also dark, creepy ambiance. Manipulative. Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro Later volumes. Main female lead really grows up. Smart about understanding people below the surface. And many more! All these series I HIGHLY recommend, btw! Well maybe all except Special A. I believe I read that when I was like, 12. Last edited by dancebaby at 6:42 am, Jun 21

Ouran High School Host Club: Haruhi; only smart though, not the cold, calculating type. Warau Kanoko sama, Koi Dano Ai Dano: Kanoko; smart, calculating mischievous type. xxxHolic: Yuuko; um, she's smart but I dunno if that's the kind you want. Witch, more mysterious. Mirai Nikki: Yuno; she's smart I suppose, a pervert, maniac, murder and psycho. Kimi wa Pet: Sumire; working female woman. Soul Eater: Gorgon Sisters, Maka (?); the witches are generally quite cool : ) Skip Beat: Kyoko; maybe. Saiunkoku Monogatari: Shuurei; became a government official among a society full of men. Jormungand: Koko; probably the only one that actually fit your taste accurately. Firearms seller, smart, calculating, mischievous and also a bit comedic.

Member 7:37 pm, Jun 21 2012 Posts: 93	Lalalarry- yeah, like I said, I read Special A a long time ago and I listed it as "school smart." Try the other series I suggested! You'll be surprised! I am really picky with my series too, having gone through thousands. These series are good though.
