Anyone knows a manga where the main characters are honest?

Thanks! 🙂

wow that's a pretty broad search actually. there's a lot of shounen manga with those character archetypes (almost all of them actually). the most classic being Goku and such. you can find it for a good amount of stories now too. you really just have to pick and choose which one you feel is the right one for you.

In Kurohime, Zero is. He isn't the main character though. Hmm.
Tegami Bachi, I'd say Lag is.
Bakuman They can't keep secrets in this one.

And of course Naruto and One Piece's Luffy.

These are all shounen! Are you looking for shounen or is that a big no-no?

Mostly shonen, but also seinen as well.

Hajime no Ippo
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
Ah! My Goddess
Id
Vinland Saga In that the main is honest about doing whatever the hell he needs to in order to get the job done/get what he wants without many moral hang-ups.

No matter how I look at it, Vinland Saga just doesn't fit here.

I see what you're saying, but "honest" is just so broad, that any sort of honesty could apply. Thorfinn is honest because he wants his revenge and makes no attempt to hide that fact.

And probably the fact that he insists on a duel rather than stab the guy in the back. And yeah, honest is too broad a term that almost every shounen-action manga protagonist can fit in it.

But he's not even honest to himself.
