So, I admit it. I'm a sucker for Jealous main characters. When the ML gets salty over the female lead being overly friendly with another guy, I swoon a little.

That being said, I feel like a lot of the time Jealousy in manga gets to some incredibly unhealthy levels... Even in the "good examples" below it gets to be a little much... but I enjoy reading it!!! Just PSA people it is not healthy to have that in a real life relationship!!

Anyway, I'm looking for some recommendations where the male lead gets repeatedly jealous about the female lead doing X, but doesn't go overboard. That is, the male lead may get salty and yell/corner the female lead or her love interest, but MAY NOT sexually assault her. Some physical violence is OK, but more like the level of a small slap or maybe going out to vent some anger by fighting with some randos.. beating up the FL is NOT or holding her against her will or something is NOT. Ideally, the ML will hold most of the jealousy inside or only vent it occasionally or with the occasional angry/harsh side comment, but there will be plenty of ML POVs so we know how jealous he really is.

And honestly, I'm in a melodramatic mood so the more drama the better...

Bad;
ML (or triangle love interest) physically/sexually assaulting the FL
