Hello! So, in my opinion the love story-for those who believe that they was love- between Hamlet and Ophelia is much more tragic and fascinating than Romeo and Juliet. What i'd want to read is a story with that kind of relationship and situations that make the male lead, formely amply declaring his love for tha female, hide his feeling. His actions should behold some contradiction, from one hand declaring that he's not in love with her, and from the other behaving irrationaly (even toning his lack of feelings in an excessive way works).
The nearest to that kind of relationship that i've thought so far is that of 100% Perfect Girl, i wasn't satisfied with it though, because i don't see a reason for all the bullying and change of behavior on behalf of the male- Hamplet is called an antihero for some reasons, you know, i'd like them to exist, if there is to be a behaviour like that.
Also,the female lead in that manhwa almost has no character. Even though Ophelia didn't also react and defend herself to the bullying, it didn't give you on the nerves, because of the idiocity and immaturity, made you sad of course - well Ophelia is much more of a mystery though,i'm not even conviced if she did love Hamplet.
So a likeable female lead would be really appreciated.
Well, something like Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang gives me a feeling that it's gonna develop towards that way.

To sum up, because i represented it very vaguely, i'd like a story, in which
- a loving relationship (or an unrequited love) becomes a hating relationship
- i don't mind the romance not being the main element ( actually, i'd like it if it wasn't)
- there should be some solid description and displaying of the backround
- the female lead should have some backbone (well, i'd prefer the silence of Ophelia or the cold detachment, rather than those cheeky-cheezy immature fights)
- i don't mind novels
-no shounen-ai, shoujo-ai. or ecchi (well, if there is no other suggestion, i'd take that)

If you don't mind novels, I highly suggest Hakomari for two reasons: it's the best light novel I read and the relationship between the main duo is kinda moving toward your request (still have to read vol. 6 though). The only con is that since romance isn't really the main point of the story, you've don't get that for some books. Still I don't see why don't try it, it's a great read (the rating speaks for it). Another novel I've been reminded of in your request is Gekkou (novel), you can pretty much guess why by reading the summary, but the main character is more "fatally attracted" to her than in love, imho.
Keep in mind that there are some differences from what you asked, so don't expect something exactly like that.

I'm not sure about Hamlet - Ophelia relationship but try Full House when the male character sort of has a change of attitude in the latter chapter

Help! I'm looking for... manga with dangerous guys http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=39874&pa ge=1#post594033

Thanks a bunch!!!
@reid1 I finished Gekkou and just started Hakomari! [in a sense Gekkou was similar to what i searched, since after he read that "murder recipe" his view towards her became somewhat malicious and with prejudice]
I'll aim towards Hakomari now, i've seen the characterization "the best" everywhere i look about it
Ah don't worry, i know that the story i described was concrete, but i have no problem with differences in the story or the relationship itself!

@cliff Thank you!! I've read Full House and i liked it a lot-yeah they were one of the most "bilious" yet acute couples i've ever seen, i loved their communication and interaction in that backround full of misunderstandings! It was also similar to what i was searching
I must have been really thrilled with the synopsis of Bichunmoo, since i've put it on my wish list without a chapter translated~Oh man, i really want to read it now!!!
Again, thank you both!

You're welcome. By the way, this is almost unrelated, but in the anime of Zetsuen no Tempest, a character says that they have a relationship similar to the Hamlet-Ophelia-Laerte relationship (not for the reason you asked, but it'd be difficult to explain without spoilering everything). All the story is a sort of metaphor of two Shakespearean works, "The Tempest" and "Hamlet", with a lot of quotes from these plays. If you like "Hamlet", it could be worth to check it out. And if you like it, from the same author, there is Vampire Juujikai that has a relationship with some similarities to what you asked in this thread.
