Not annoying, funny idiot protagonist

I'm looking for a manga with a character (preferably a girl, but it may be a guy too) who behaves in a silly way, but his/hers behaviour is really funny, not annoying.
What I'm not looking is a manga in which the protagonist pretends to be stupid. The character has to be an idiot, although sometimes it may seem otherwise.

Some examples:
1/2 Prince - Prince
Tokyo Crazy Paradise - Tsukasa (usually she does behave like an idiot 🙂 )
Gokuraku Seishun Hockey Club - I guess there's no need to explain this one 🙂
Oresama Teacher - Hayasaka-kun (Mafuyu also has some idiotic moments 🙂 )

What I find annoying:

  • Weak, pathetic, clumsy idiots (Keitaro from Love Hina)
  • People who get into trouble because their own stupidity and have to be saved by other people (Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi, I suppose)
  • Extremely cheerful and optimistic characters (Tohru from Fruits Basket)

I don't like ecchi and yuri/shoujo-ai, but shounen-ai is fine.

The girls in Azumanga Daioh , Hidamari Sketch , Sketchbook and (most probably) Non Non Biyori and K-ON! are all like this, more or less.

Yasuna from Kill Me Baby is a perfect fit.

And - it's only a one-shot, but be sure to try out Afghanistan as well.

Edit - About A*D, which the person below me has recommended; I'd like to warn you that when considering the protagonist, it is very much a case of 'smart and perceptive guy pretending to be stupid' - which you said you didn't want.

Thanks a lot 🙂 A*D is a very good suggestion, I said I didn't want "pretends to be stupid" manga because I didn't want all the recommendations to be like this.
I've already read Koukou Debut, but it definitely is what I am looking for 🙂
I'll read the rest, thanks again 🙂
