Saver has that sword-fighting girl pretending to be a guy that's really good with thinking on her feet
Legend of Nereid is also an adventure of a girl escaping persecution. witty, brave, and quick to action.

@dancebaby: yes, Musashi no.9 has a boyfriend - a hot one too. He remains stable through all the episode (with great effort 🤣 )

Midnight Secretary 😕
I don't think the female lead there is intelligent 🤨 She is "intelligent" just because they said so 😮

In that case, you'd be searching for clever, not intelligent.

I definitely second @reid1 for suggesting Holo from Spice and Wolf -- though the anime is a lot farther than the scanlations / Yen Press releases...
I'll add more as I find them...
Edit -- adding Zakuro from Otome Youkai Zakuro.

Try reading "Koi Dano Ai Dano" , "Oresama Teacher" , "Choukakou" , "Akuma to Love Song" They are all intelligent / smart female leads and have strong mentality too.

There's barely any romance in this though. But the art is gorgeous and the heroine is really smart and is also a strategist.

The girl from Oresama Teacher is smart? Really? I'm not ironic, just (pleasantly) surprises, as I was under the impression that she's kind of dumb and the act-first-think-later kind of girl. I haven't read the manga though, one of the reasons being that I thought she was stupid.
But yaaay if she's not 🤣 😀

"In a world where most people would be crazy, then it would be normal to be crazy and crazy to be normal... but then again, if you were normal, then you would be crazy... isn't it crazy what a paradox a little craziness can create?"

Kazami Kazuki in one of them Grisaia no Kajitsu manga adaptations (otherwise, in the original VN).
She's the smartest fictional character I've ever found that is not just on paper, she acts smart and talks smart.
Actually, if you pay attention, all characters are unusually smart given their roles in the story. But to get to the "intelligent" classification, I guess only Kazami Kazuki really fills it.
