...that is not the lead.
...and it would be preferred that he wouldn't be an outright jerk. I like love triangles, and am getting tired of "first love" mangas!
an example of what I'm searching for would be 17 by Sakurai Machiko.
I LOVE ALMIGHTY X 10!

Phantom Dream (he starts with a steady girlfriend. Close enough?)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do
Solanin - seinen but fits (I guess there isn't really a "male lead")
Nana - might not be "steady" though
There are mangas where the women/men already broke up with ex's. They are not "first love" mangas either. Do you want those?
