Ok, so...
I have this crave for a romance manga. It has to
- have a powerful male lead (like a demon, a vampire or just a guy with some sort of power, even if not supernatural)
- have a smart female lead (the girl CAN NOT be the kind that allways needs to be saved, nor can she be naive)
- have a male lead that gets easily mad or revengeful
- have a protective/possessive male lead (wich irritates the girl)

I'd like it to
- be shoujo or josei
-be supernatural
-be drama
- have an evil male lead (it would be nice if the guy was evil or did evil stuff, at least in the begginig)

It can not
- be yaoi or yuri
- be shonen or seinen
- be harem
- have a love triangle (unIess it is two guys liking the girl AND it is obvious who is the one she actualy likes)

i guess thats it. Help me, plz eyes

You might want to try posting this in "I'm Looking For..." forum to get more responses.

A few that come to mind:
Midnight Secretary - smut
Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori - smut and non-supernatural male lead (royalty)
Reimei no Arcana - obvious love triangle and royal male lead
Kanata Kara
Hanatsukihime
They're all fairly popular and for good reason.

I'd also suggest Vampire Knight, but it does have a love triangle and the result isn't clear at all.

I second Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori and Kanata Kara

Here's a couple that I thought might good. Top fits most of the criteria; bottom barely matches:
Heart to Give
--This pretty much has all the criteria you asked for, but main girl is strong-willed rather than smart; if you like this, you should also check out the author's other works, because all her stories contain these kinds of characters.

Masca
--Girl is a sorceress in training; guy is immortal demon lord race. Guy may not be as possessive as you are looking for, but still on the possessive side. Down side is that there is kind of a love triangle...

Abide in the Wind
--Girl is chosen as the partner of the last dragon on the planet. Guy is possessive, but doesn't try to control her or interfere with too much of her life; basically just wants to stay next to her and keep her safe. Girl is borderline useless though...I only recommend because the guy is ADORABLE (usually, I can't stand useless/annoying girls). Also, this is a webcomic.

Akatsuki no Yona
--Girl is a princess; guy is her bodyguard who is insanely strong. Girl is strong-willed (in first couple chapters, she grows into it) and great. Guy is pretty protective of her, but not overly possessive. I would actually place this higher on the list, but since he technically doesn't have any super powers, nor is he possessive to the point of borderline psychological, I didn't place it higher. Even so, this is REALLY REALLY recommended if you haven't read it.

Hadashi de Bara o Fume
--Poor girl sells herself to rich guy in order to send money to her family. Girl is uneducated, but she's so cute, kind, and hard-working that I personally overlooked it (plus, the circumstances called for it). Guy is standard, arrogant, easily angered, rich guy who begins to fall in love with her. There IS a love triangle, but the second guy is so psycho possessive over the girl that it makes it so much more fun and dramatic.

I'm surprised no one's suggested Basara yet especially since it was recently in the Shoujo poll it definitely has most of what you want. The genre is more sci-fi than supernatural, but it could be taken as supernatural. The male lead is physically strong and he's a prince so socially strong. He gets easily mad/revengeful but he's also protective. Best of all, he's basically one of the bad guys for most of the series. The female lead is definitely smart, and I'll admit she is a bit innocent/naive, but not in the typical shoujo way, more of the political way.

Anway, Basara definitely fits the bill, but here are a few more:

Tokyo Crazy Paradise (Sci-Fi, possessive, mafia boss, strong male lead, strong and kinda naive female lead, but she's a cop so it's interesting)

Tenma no Ketsuzoku (Historical Fantasy, Strong male lead that gets easily mad/revengeful, strong female lead but again kinda politically naive)

This last one is Shounen, but I'm going to recc it anyway since it's not actually a typical Shounen, you can tell by the art how not typical Shounen it is, but anyway it's:

Mahou Tsukai no Yome (Fantasy, setting somewhere in UK, supernatural male lead that is definitely not typically handsome in any way at all, comparatively strong emotionally female lead, though she is a bit naive)
