I’m looking for mangas or manhwas (not too fussed) where the male lead either has a crush from the beginning or develops the crush fairly early on and goes after the girl OR he chases her but is very respectful.

I’ve read things like Special A, Maid Sama and A Business Proposal and LOVED them because of how the male lead portrayed their crush to the female lead. Even if the male leads in Special A and Maid Sama where cool, they weren’t as cocky or egotistical and actually respected the female lead (even if they were sometimes cocky for comedic effect). A Business Proposal is one of my favourite reads to date simply because the male lead was very persistent (which I love) but never under minded the female lead.

I’m also not afraid of cheesiness or tropes 😉

I’m looking for works similar to these so if you have and recs plz help 🙂))

Edit: I’ve been recommended the Last Game but couldn’t get into it because she showed no emotion nor inkling that they would have a relationship anytime soon but only read a little :/

Kind of guy that melting in your every way and seriously polite :
Futsuu no Koiko-chan

Despite the thrilling challenge and lots of fanservice I warned you, the ML's love is genuine :
Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai

Awkward and hopeless but still go for it :
Nijiiro Days <- a multiple couples manga, only counts the first/centered ML.
Shachou no Watashi ni Tachikko Naidesho?
Mystery/Mystique/Mystical
Rebirth Common Circumstances
I Love You, Baby
Sentimental Kiss
Observing Elena Evoy

Dependable, always be there for you :
Girl's World/Odd Girl Out <- not a romance-oriented story, it only starts in season 2.

Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai
The first few chapters give weird vibes but it gets really fluffy as you read on. It's pretty much exactly what you're looking for. The only thing to note is that scanlations have stopped due to it being licensed but you can buy the newer volumes digitally from Kodansha USA.
