I'm looking for good series where the main character pretends or looks like they're weak/dumb but is actually really strong or smart. Basically, mangas where the main character is underestimated severely.
Examples:
1. Gokusen- Teacher pretends to be weak, but is actually the ojou of a yakuza syndicate.
2. Shibatora - Policeman who looks like he's in middle school but is actually a 4th dan in kendo
3. Onepunch-man - "Hero" who looks like he's weak.
4. Rurouni Kenshin
5. Black Cat
Looking forward to the suggestions! Thanks!

Try Gun x Clover
The God of High School
Tora Kiss - A School Odyssey
Denpa Kyoushi-maybe
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei-underestimated
Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou

Black Haze - MC is actually a famous magician. Pretends to be a sickly student at a magic school. (When I say pretend, it's more like bold-faced lying, lol.)
Warau Kanoko-sama & sequel Koi Dano Ai Dano- Applies more to sequel, but character gives off the impression of incredibly average and dull student, but she's actually a schemer. (In the sequel, it's common for people to think her friend does everything, but in actually, they were her plans.)

Seconding...
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei I prefer the light novel though, this one Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (Novel), The MC here is hiding his real power with a proper reason and you'll see a LOT of discrimination towards him here.
Gun x Clover He pretends to look weak and useless when he's actually one of the strongest.
Black Haze Hiding his identity as a newbie magician. You'll get some discrimination too like in Mahouka

I third Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.
And Black haze is even better though not AS bad when it comes to discrimination against the MAIN character...

Aww, you've read Rurouni Kenshin alread ;(. Okay, then, a common one that many people recommend for RK fans is Samurai Deeper Kyo. I've tried it and it's pretty good, but it's up to your tastes.
