Charismatic Male Lead? Corruption?

I'd like a romance manga of any genre (But Oh God, please no action or mechas and things) in which there is a very charismatic (Possibly dark or brooding) main character or love interest, male preferable but I'm flexible. The kind of guy who is actually charming enough to make a reader doki doki and not just the swoony person who falls in love with them... They could even be a demon.

The one they decide to be with could be innocent or naive or a normal person who just comes "Wow" about this person. Maybe they are an innocent and they are corrupted by desire? Bonus points if they don't just act stupid all the time. I suppose I'm looking for a sense of chemistry between the couple.

I've read all of Shinjo Mayu's stuff. Kurasaki from Dengeki Daisy is pretty hot at times. I like Kurosawa from Sukitte Ii na Yo. George from Paraside Kiss was very very charming. Maybe the closest possible example of this would be Hakuji.

I'm sorry if this made no sense.

It might help if you gave some hints about what types of guys make the reader (in this case, you) doki doki, because not everyone has the same tastes in men.

Only thing I could think of is Lost + Brain but it doesn't have any romance 🤣
Sorry 😳

Try Matsumoto Tomo's works. Her male leads are almost always very charismatic, especially Beauty is the Beast and Kiss.

Let's see... it's hard to think of stuff off the top of your head >.>

I dunno if my tastes suit you, but here are a few.
9 Banme no Musashi
Seimaden
Zetsuai & sequel
Cantarella
Rasetsu no Hana
Until Death Do Us Part
From Far Away
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Boku no Kan de Bansan o (oneshot 🙁 )
Kindan no Koi de Ikou
Koori no Mamono no Monogatari
And maybe NANA. I only watched the anime so IDK if the manga's any good.

There's probably a lot more... but it's hard to keep track of everything after your library builds up and you keep record on several different sites.

Sorry if the romance isn't exactly enough... honestly it's just not something that sticks in my head. Also... do you mind yaoi? Well, shonen-ai. I don't go as far as yaoi lol.

Edit: Woops... I found action tags >.> Well, I still recommend all of them, they aren't those shounen action which simply feels stupid anyways.

You made sense. Try these if you have not already:

Midnight Secretary
The One
Angel Sanctuary - charismatic brooding men all over the place
Model (but I didn't like the end)
Desire Climax - lead is hot IMO but pretty much a jerk 90% of the time
Atashi wa Sore wo Gaman Dekinai and Fu Junai - shorts

Yaoi:
Totally Captivated
Beast & Feast; Hachimitsu Darling
Toiki Yori mo Yasashii
Vassalord
Three Wolves Mountain
