okay, so i'm looking for a manga where the protagonist, a girl, is really, and I mean REALLY smart and perceptive. she can be the top of her school, I don't really care. I want her to be the type that can see through people's lies and fake personalities, who can creat a perfect fake personality for herself if she has to, without others noticing, to see and even use people's weanesses.
of cours, this means she cna't be the kind and altruist female lead we all know, who always put others before herself, but rather the calculative and manipulative one. she should be a good judge of character, and she should always think first before acting, considering all the possibilities.
in the end, she should be the type who's an excelent strategist in battles or the one who solves hard detective cases. she should have that kind of thinking.

since my request is rather specific, and since i know it'll be quite hard to find this type of female lead in a shoujo, then all gens are fine, except for shoujo ai/shounen ai/yuri/yaoi/hentai. smut is okay, and even ecchi, if it's not too much.

thanks in advance and sorry if my thread is similar to an already existing one. 😛

"In a world where most people would be crazy, then it would be normal to be crazy and crazy to be normal... but then again, if you were normal, then you would be crazy... isn't it crazy what a paradox a little craziness can create?"

Well... Last Game fits with the really smart and top of the class thing
As for the perception and such... Not as of the currently released chapters (who knows it might get better?)

Is this me in a nutshell?
Pretty much.

Warau Kanoko Sama and it's sequel Koi Dano Ai Dano fit well. The protagonist is extremely perceptive and not one of those cliche shoujo leads.

Akuma to Love Song

Cheese in the Trap is perfect for what you want.

Maybe Show Princess for the part that she uses people for her benefits well not exactly since she needs to survive. There's a part that she uses someone till the person got hurt really badly.

Also seconding Kare Kano. It's the closest one that I immediately think of. She's not bad but she uses people and can create a different persona when needed.

Help! I'm looking for... manga with dangerous guys [url]http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=39874&page=1#post594033[/url]

Skip Beat. After the first chapter, she becomes really perceptive. And of course Akuma to Love song.

Maybe the girl from Zippy Ziggy

kare kano

Seconding this, as these manga fit OP's description spot on.

Most of the mangas I know of and fits the description is already written by somebody else but if you really into it the you should consider reading:

G-senjou no Maou (Visual Novel) /perfectly fits the description, and has a very good main story line but has adult content/

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (Novel)

ghost sweeper mikami

It's a shounen, but I'm a girl and liked it, mostly because the female protagonist is amazing. Even if you feel iffy about it for the art/genre, really give the first volume a try at least! It's quite good 🙂

i would surely love to read Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (Novel) but unfortunately i can't find a site to read it. oh, and i know this site doesn't allow questions such as ''where can i read that manga'?'', but is it allright if you send me a PM to tell me a site? if it is, then please be as kind as to do so, and if it isn't, then please, dear mods and admins, just forget my question.
