Looking for an awkward main character, but awkward in a really funny or endearing way. I've seen a some series with awkward characters that make me feel also awkward, uncomfortable, and embarrassed, so I guess I'm just trying to avoid the negative awkward.

I don't have any examples cause I have yet to come across a lead with those defining traits.....


Thanks in advance!

Aqua and its sequel Aria.
Chii's Sweet Home, but that's about a cat.

Rensou Mode maybe.
Heh, I guess you're not looking for something like Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!


Maybe try out the Quirky Characters tag.

well the obvious choices would be
Tonari no Seki-kun
Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai

in need of romance?
uncommon, sad, sweet

I'd suggest for you then:

Miman Renai - really awkward character falls in a more awkward love. Both of the main characters are extremely endearing ^3^

Don't Cry, Girl - Nothing more awkward than living with a guy who walks around naked. Very fun, silly, short manga.

I haven't read it, but Aho Girl?
Jyoshikausei?
Gintama - Perhaps not what you seek but the characters are truly unique. It's a good read.
I second Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai
Golden time
Kuragehime
Sonna Mirai wa Uso de Aru

Eensy-Weensy Monster Awkward girl puts her school's prince in place in a fit of rage. The guy falls for her. Refreshing romance, not many cliches, and the few there are get subverted.
