Bashful Male lead

Hey everyone, and happy thanksgiving!
Well, getting to the point, I'm looking for a Comedy, Romance manga with a sorta introverted, awkward male lead who is incredibly shy. He doesn't necessarily have social issues caused by an outside source, but keeps more to himself and just doesn't know how to handle people too well (girls especially). Blushing is a necessity! ;D I'd prefer if the manga is shoujo, but anything is fine as long as it mainly deals with romance!

Thanks again, xoxox Bubbles!(:

Tonari no Megane-kun
He blushes but he's not socially awkward.

Cyboy
Hides the fact that he's a nerd, but in his 'off-mode' he's pretty adorable and shy.

Issho ni Neyou yo
Both leads are adorable. He's not shy, but he can act that way when he's neglected.

This is hard. There are really never any shy boys in non-ecchi harem mangas :<

Planetary* has a shy guy, but I don't know how much romance there is.
I second Cyboy.
Uh, Keppeki Shounen Kanzen Soubi the boy has quite a few problems, one of which includes his social awkwardness. It's a fun read.

Wow, this IS a lot harder than it looks! I can't think of very many.

If you'd care to look at some that are just blushing, not necessarily shyness or awkwardness, then:
Kimi ni Todoke has a popular main lead, who still gets embarrassed and blush-y around his crush. The girl is the shy one, though.
Dear Mine is farthest from all these; basically, the only reason I mention it is because some of his expressions (like shy and embarrassed) are the cutest ever. Maybe you could draw a parallel that he doesn't know how to handle people too well because he's a child? (The age gap is not creepy, by the way. If you were worried.) 🙂

As they played the game...I waited for someone to call "onigiri." But no one called. I was very little then. I had almost forgotten about that. [...] But they knew...there would never be room for an onigiri...in a fruits basket.

Although more on the NSFW side, Sadistic Beauty has a shy and flustered male lead (Haesol)
