1) A tsundere that isn't a B*****d Boyfriend

I have a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with tsundere. It's mainly the only time I'm really ever sexist. Male tsunderes tend to be more my cup of tea.

For those that aren't sure what I mean when I say tsundere I mean a character that is either tsuntsun (really harsh or grumpy) and may typically be cold to their love interest, but shows a softer side.

Or a character that may typically be nice, but whose temper is sparked done by something the love interest does.

Male victims of Dynamite Attraction might not always be tsundere. Most times they're Jerk With a Heart of Gold. Those types of characters are typically jerks to everyone whereas tsunderes (at least the harsh ones) are cold primarily to the people they care most about.

For example, Ranma from Ranma 1/2 is classified as a jerk with a heart of gold, not a tsundere.

2) Love Martyr

I don't necessarily want someone (a guy) who is stomped on by their love interest, but someone who is willing to give up something essential to themselves or what they want in order to make their love interest happy. And they do it again, again, and again without thinking of themselves.

I haven't really been able to find a good enough example. But peeping at the tropes page...Haku from Naruto.

3) B*tch in sheep's Clothing

Now this is semi-significant from the usual "nice guy" act as they're not so diabolical as they are really petty. See: [m]Zippy Zippy[/m] Man, do I love this guy.

4) Distressed Dude

You know Damsel in Distress? Well I basically want the male version of that. A rescue once or twice is enough for me. As long as the guy gets rescued by some female, IDC.

5) A Jerk with a heart gold that isn't a lech, idiot, or surrounded by a harem.

I don't think I can be anymore clear with this one.

6) Guile Hero=Smart Guy or Strategic Guy. Where smarts isn't an informed ability. Preferably the Protagonist.

7) School Idol. CANNOT be in Shoujo, Josei, Shounen Ai or Yaoi
----

I'm really looking for "het", but shounen ai is okay as long as it averts the uke falling victim to 2,4, and 5. Any genre is fine except harem. Romance isn't necessary.

Looking for something a with flow---not episodic.

I'd prefer the male to be the lead, but as long as they're a main character, I'm happy.

I'll appreciate whatever you can give me. Thanks.

Are you looking for a romance?

Or just any male lead that fits the description?

I recommend linking to TV Tropes or giving the definitions, considering not everyone understands exactly what you mean by a "distressed dude"; someone might give you a guy suffering from mental anxiety or something.

Hello other Prince~

Vampire Juujikai for number 2. Even if it doesn't end up fitting the way you wanted you should read it anyway, its a masterpiece.

________________
Is this me in a nutshell?
Pretty much.

1) Seiyuu Ka!

6) Itsuwaribito Utsuho would probably count

1) Nakanmon! for Himeno lol and Vivid Cherry maybe. And like Kurenai Ouji
2) Ningyo ga Fuchi oneshot?
3) Cheese in the Trap pwaha, How to Hug an Elephant eh maybe?
4) Present wa Shinju? Gar to Oujisama (oneshot) though he's not incompetent, just naive. Witchcraft Works
5) Oboreru Knife, Tomodachi no Hanashi, Bitou Lollipop?

And I can probably think of more. I'll come back later.

Hana to Akuma- not sure if he was tsundere or he just doesn't know his feelings.,
InuYasha
Midnight Secretary-maybe..
Himitsu no Akuma-chan-??
3)Abnormal-kei Joshi-nehh?

Previous Post edited for clarification. Thanks. ^_^

Vampire Juujikai Ugh. I'm so mad at myself. I keep forgetting to read this! Thanks silencecomes. It's on my reading lists now.
Seiyuu Ka! I haven't really gotten into this. Added to my reading lists!
Itsuwaribito Utsuho I really like this. Added. Thanks, lovelylalaland.
How could I forget [m]Tomodachi no Hanash[/m]? I put it on my complete list now. Gar to Oujisama Really cute oneshot. I forgot to put Witchcraft Works on my reading lists too. Love Cheese in the Trap. It's on my reading lists. I think I might like How to hug an elephant. Thanks ImaginaryWishes
Midori no Hibi Seiji is totally tsundere! How could I forget about him?
Fujimura-kun Meitsu I remember skimming this awhile ago. Completed.
Inuyasha Jerk With Heart of Golds+BST
Abnormal-kei Joshi Love this series! The guy is really manipulative, but everyone seems to know what he's about. He doesn't put on too many airs to really count for 3.
GunxClover Added to reading lsit
Himitsu no Akuma-chan I remember this. Isn't my cup of tea, but the 1st chapter was really good.
Megaren - Megane x Koi haha. I remember this. Thanks knightzomegaz.

Thanks everyone actually! ^_^ I got some new manga and I was able to sort out my lists.








________________
I like my men androgynous.
I like my women androgynous.

1. Tsundere / 5. Jerk with heart of gold (Your definition of tsundere is throwing me off.)
Kawaii Oresama (Oneshot) - Heroine has him eating out of her palm by the end.
The Prince's Cactus

2. Love Martyr
Can't Lose You - IMO, I find it a bit bittersweet, when you think of what the guy gave up.
Basara - Ageha. Reoccurring side character who plays a lot of big roles. He helps the main girl a lot in the background without her knowing sometimes. I think his love for the girl is very pure (it's almost brotherly?) and unselfish.

3. Sheep clothes
Yoru Made Matenai. - Cute younger boy...
Lasboss x Hero - Genuinely interesting story that makes fun of a lot of shounen tropes as well.
Legend of the Sun Knight - He's a spiteful crafty guy. (A lot of characters actually qualify for this theme. Nearly everyone's not what they seem.) Don't let the sparkly art discourage you, it's hilarious.

4. Distressed dude
Saver? - Heroine saves a lot of male ass throughout the manhwa. I know she saves the main guy at least once...

6. Smarts
Tower of God - Koon Agero. He's like the main character's best friend ang generally functions as the strategist.
Liar Game - Yeah, the girl's annoying as hell, but seriously, she gets better (although it doesn't seem like it for maybe 2-3 volumes..) Main guy is an ex-con artist.
Dr. Frost - He's more of a book smarts guy. Professor in psychology. (It should be noted that some parts, like the opening chapters are not "actual psychology." Even the author admits that some parts are written to keep a general audience interested.) Potentially qualifies for sheep clothes.

1)Nagi no Asukara

Ten of thousand soldier are worth less then 1 high rank officer on the battlefield

Magetsukan Kitan-maybe..
