I want more ROMANCE manga(manhwa/manhua) with Ugly or Dull or Plain/Super Ordinary Female protagonist.
BUT the Male Love Interest HAVE TO BE Sweet and Kind type, at least or mostly to the Female Protagonist. And better Handsome. 😉
The Protagonist herself better not be Annoying or Creepy. 😐
Example Manga i have ever read:
and my newest fav:
Added: Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai I always think MC is cute. But i guess she's mean to be the 'Ordinary' just slightly better than just Average-looking girl. 😕
Anyway it's my fav manga. ML is super sweet and handsome. Totally the Male Lead than i search for this type of Manga.

Raou-kun wa Watashi ni Kamau is finally getting translated. I absolutely love "flashy person deeply in love with plain person" dynamics and so far this one is absolutely perfect for me

Ohh thank you for the recommendation.
But it's only has one chapter so far... 😢
Finding this kind of manga is hard I guess...

I believe this theme would mainly be from Shoujo manga.
Have you also read Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai?
The romance is there but subtle and only at the end.
I recommended it because you included 'plain'.
You may also try Soredemo Boku wa Kimi ga Suki because ROMANCE

I thought so, but my newest fav actually Seinen manga.
Also, thx, but the rating was worrisome. Maybe i'll try someday

Plain female, not male.... As in Appearance more than personality.
Not what i search, but it's interesting manga. So thx i guess?
You may also try Soredemo Boku wa Kimi ga Suki ...
This one confuse me. I'm not into all Romance. Especially not the one with lot of Hearbreak moments. The review was worrisome. 😐

If you wanted romance, I don't recommend this one at all. None of them are interested in the plain female lead lol
Here's a few I think fits the bill. Some of the female leads are confident, some shy, but all are "plain" with handsome male leads:
Tonari no Aki to wa Kakawaranai
Sotodura Danshi no Shimizu-kun
Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai
Skip and Loafer
Gokusen
Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
Ill come back if I remember more!

Thank you for remind me of Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai.
I always think she's cute, but maybe she does mean to be the 'ordinary' looking girl.
It's my fav manga.
for the rest of the manga, THANK YOU~! 😁

Hi!!
These are some I've read
The Emperor and His Female Knight: The FL is considered "ugly". She's often seen more as a man than a woman, she has broad shoulders, short hair, and the physique of a man.
Kuragehime
Otonari Complex
Yamatoha koi no Mahoroba
Spirit Fingers
Busu nante Iwanaide: Now THIS actually has an "hideously ugly" female lead (as described by other characters in the manga). There are hints of romance, but it's more of a social commentary. I personally liked it because it talks about female beauty standards and how they're harmful!
The Ugly Wife of the Shady Duke
Kengai Princess
Gay to Omotte Ita Onee ga Bai de, Kizukeba Meromero ni Saretemashita
Nude Model: Pleaseee, read this!! The FL is so well-mannered, elegant, and composed! Her classmates make fun of her bc she's not conventionally attractive, but she doesn't give a flying f, I love her 😭
Shadow Beauty
Kinks 101
Season of Change
Yoru no Shita de Machiawase
God Bless You: The FL was "ugly" in her past life, but got reincarnated as a beauty in a medieval/regency setting, so...I guess it doesn't count?
Iincho to Furyou-kun
The Demon King's Commander is Infatuated with the Cross-dressing Hero
Death Love Letter: This one hit too close to home. FL doesn't seem to accept that ML actually loves her, because she thinks no one would even glance at her in a romantic way :'(
The Count’s Secret Maid
Yawao to Katako
Whale Star: The FL is "plain", but I promise you, the plot is SO HEART WRENCHING!!
Katsute Onnanoko Datta Hitotachi e
A Drunken Frenzy
Usotsuki Mille Feuille
Sensei no Shiroi Uso
Hosaka-sensei no Ai no Muchi
Samishii Hito

Holy sht. I didn't expect to list out so many lol
