well it's not really a romance but Beach Stars and it's sequel The!! Beach Stars have a main character that fits the description

What is the point in asking how it fits if it's plainly obvious that it doesn't? You seem to be under the impression that I'm obligated to have perfect courtesy. If a suggestion is extremely misleading I'm going to call it out, and that's all I did. I only used the term "wrong" in my second reply because he copped a defensive attitude afterward.

I (and I'm sure many others) use these threads to find titles that suit my interests. If someone picked up Countrouble expecting it meet the OP's conditions (since on the surface, it appears that it does, so you'd keep reading) only to have it blow up in your face at the end, you'd feel cheated. That's the only point I was trying to make.

If my posts seemed hostile at all, that wasn't my intention. It's not like I was attacking him or his post (there are actually some nice titles there, like Hajimete Datteba! which was going to be my original recommendation), only that particular suggestion.

Anyway, I'm stepping aside now, because this exchange has run its course and is only derailing the thread.
