Of course, the opposite would be interesting as well, but I'm irritated by all of these shows where the MC simply cannot say or defend himself against abuse by women. In [m]Index[/m], Touma gets the shaft whenever a woman is involved. In Oreimo, Kyousuke takes roundhouse kicks to the face. Hell, in Zero no Tsukaima, Saito gets beaten with a riding crop!

We need some MC's who fight back with wit and skill. We need a guy like Shinobu from Tsuki Tsuki! who's mastered the art of ninja embarrassment who can stave off abuse from his haremettes with well-timed comedic praise.

Any other MCs like this? Ones that lead the harem rather than pick up after them?

Wow!! I know what you mean and understand your disappointment.
I have been searching for this as well.
I'm hoping Mangaka's & Chief editors in Japan have start noticing this because its so annoying knowing they can be with the Female Love Interest if they would stop being little bitches...That's right I said it haha
They're are many ways around this plot change without the lead being a little punk.
I would like to see MC be with his Love Interest and see them going through their hardships together..

irrevelant to this but still !!
Extremely Underrated

Onani Master Kurosawa
Read The Rest of The Ending Online

These are just with Tough MC's
May not be a mix of action/romance/comedy/harem

Rave is awesome... not a harem though

Oh, and also "Ushio to Tora". This is not a romance manga, though there are a couple of girls who like the MC.
This is probably not exactly what you are looking for, but it is a great piece of art.

Trinity Seven: 7-Nin no Mahoutsukai might be worth a look.

I knew there was one I had forgotten. Yea, Tora Kiss is like that too.

Thanks for the leads everyone.

Harem leaders with skills, huh? How about...

Dragons Rioting
Kannagi
Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara
Nagasarete Airantou
Rising x Rydeen takes his licks, but still comes out on top
Kimiiro Focus
Kure-nai (not much romance, really)

maybe:
Abnormal-kei Joshi
Shina Dark - Kuroki Tsuki no Ou to Souheiki no Himegimi i think...
Seitokai Yakuindomo
