I don't care for the reason, it could be because he wants to hide it or because he doesn't want to use it, or something else. The first examples that come to my mind are Blood Lad and Nanatsu no Taizai. I'd be grateful for good results.

So I still think you should check it out; moreover most of the mangas people indicated here are on that other topic as well.
