Like my subject title says, I'm now looking for any manga/manhwa (-please no manhua-) that contains a male protagonist or a protagonist's male friend, and/or female protagonist's love interest that had a friendly, kind, and/or pure-hearted personality. He could still have this personality, but, puts a false personality on top of it just to hide something about himself or to survive in a different environment. Reason for these personality changes could involve something tragic or something that was life changing.
I'm not looking for the guy to become a bad guy or a psychotic killer to the very end of the story. Just someone, who does the most popular tropes such as: becoming distant from others, join the wrong people, hang with the popular crowd just for "family obedience" sake, forget how to smile, treats a childhood friend coldly during a reunion, pretends to be cool just to keep an "image", pretends to be mean just to keep up a false appearance, warped personality, timid personality, and etc.
Throughout the story, he must develop and do a second personality change so he becomes more like his old self again.
Yes to: shoujo, shounen, seinen, josei, action, adventure, mystery, psychological/tragedy, magical, fantasy, drama, etc. -- you get the picture.
No to: stupid unnecessary fanservice, shoujo-ai, shounen-ai, yaoi, smut, ecchi, harem, mature, BL, etc.
Examples:
07-Ghost
Skip Beat!
(I have a feeling with) Deguchi Zero
Moon Boy
(I have a feeling with) Fukumenkei Noise
Viehmannin wa Utau
Nabari no Ou
Pandora Hearts
Tegami Bachi
X
Totsugami (in some small way)
Kazan
Thank you.

I couldn't help but think of Sakurasaku Syndrome by HOSHI Renji. The protagonist chose to be a loner and to focus on his studies for the sake of his old parents. He even goes as far as turning down his childhood love when they finally reunite in order to pursue his goal.
