something like Asahina Wakaba to ○○ na Kareshi or especially Super Baby. cannot think of any other examples at the moment. >_< i know asahina is labeled as a seinen but i would like something that isnt super catering towards males, i.e. yancha gal no anjou-san (which i love, but is definitely male demographic). so i guess something more like super baby. pls dont give me just gyaru leads though!!

just any love interests that arent bishie pretty boys or super handsome bad boys 😔 i hate seeing them they all look the same. give me less feminine looking dude svp TwT established relationship is fine

i know there are threads out there exactly like mine but was wondering if any newer mangas fit the bill!!!!

Ryoumin 0-nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushusama It's neither a shoujo nor a josei but I'm gonna recommend it anyway. Unfortunately as is the case with most shounen/seinen romance the male lead is a bit slow when it comes to romance. Female lead makes up for it though. Marriage proposal in chapter 3 for starters.

Another Typical Fantasy Romance There's 41 chapters out if you know where to look.
Goma Shio to Purin
Ponkotsu Fuukiin to Skaato take ga Futekisetsu na JK no Hanashi
Subete no Jinrui o Hakai suru. Sorera wa Saisei dekinai.
Do Chokkyuu Kareshi x Kanojo

The last 3 are shounen but not heavy on the fanservice like Anjou-san so I think you'd like them. I know Do Chokkyuu is tagged as ecchi but iirc that's because

they have appropriately censored sex in 1 or more chapters and it's very wholesome and hilarious just like the rest of the series.

these are all great!! i guess by non bishie i mean non pretty boy/idol types? like tamaki from host club, kyo and yuki from fruits basket, or kurosaki from dengeki daisy. i suppose art style has somewhat of a contribution to that, but usually the heroine goes for a guy that all the other girls also love. but this list youve given is awesome! i havent looked through it completely, but the ones ive clicked on at random seem to be up my alley, thank u!! :9

edit: also noticed you included butter!!! ive been reading that and loving it!! and its one example of non bishie i think id say
