Hi,
I'm looking for manga where the main character looks like a child, but is mentally veeeery mature/smart/evil etc but constantly hides it from those around them.
The characters can either be:
(1) the main character is physically a child but is mentally not a child, for example:
Detective Conan: Conan is actually a high school student, whose body has reverted to a childlike state.
Please Save My Earth (boku no chikyuu wo mamotte): Rin is a child, but inherits the memories of his past life as an adult.
Or (2) the main character really is a child but is very mature or knowledgable for their age, for example:
Kuroshitsuji: Ciel is capable of running his company and household at a very young age.
I hope that makes sense?
Please specify which type it is, but the most important is that the characters MUST BE HIDING THE FACT that they're super mature or smart etc. So they might act childishly or silly a lot, for example. Ideally a character like Rin would be great ^^
Please, no manga where the character is used as a premise for ecchi, no hentai, BL, GL. And I already read a manga about a high school boy who gets in an accident and is plastic surgeried into an elementary school girl, though I can't remember the name.
Many thanks in advance!
Have a nice day!

It later reveals his age, he isn't what he looks like
It fits number 1, he even looks like detective Conan.

You were thinking about Ichinensei ni Nacchattara at the end right?

mushoku tensei, knights and magic, pretty much every reincarnation novel/manga.
e.g. douluo dalu(aka soul land, combat continent), yomigaeri no maou, law of the devil.
also
Modaiji tachi isekai ....(izaiyoi's childhood chapters).
that's just off the top of my head.

The protagonist of Boku dake ga Inai Machi is an adult with a strange power that occasionally skips him back in time against his will in order to stop a death that occurred somewhere near him. Eventually, he ends up getting sent all the way back to his childhood to try and stop three serial kidnapping/murder cases that happened to his schoolmates. He keeps his adult brain and memories in his kid body and obviously can't reveal he's from the future. ^^
