I started reading different mangas again lately, and was hoping for some suggestions on reading material. It's preferrably a female protagonist, but not cliche (i.e. beautiful, cries a great deal, liked by everyone) and the main character is not immediately in a relationship. Of the mangas I've read recently, I've liked;

Beach Stars
Beauty Pop
Crimson Hero
Kimi wa girlfriend
...etc.

All recommendations welcome.

Kurohime is the one that comes to my mind

But you could check all these topics:

They all have recommendations about atypical female lead characters.

And I took all the links except one from Indreju, all recognition goes to her. (I think you are female Indreju, but not sure....your profile says alien...)
