Hello! I'm looking for a romance manga that fits this description: Cold, smart female lead and an equally cold, smart male lead. Any suggestions similar to this will be helpful! Any genre is fine except adult stuff.

An example of "cold, smart male lead" is Light Yagami from Death Note. I can't think of an example for the "cold, smart female lead" but it's not the type of "coldness" that say, Mikoto Kujo from Last Game has (though I adore her!). I want someone who may be ruthless (not necessarily), stoic, cunning and doesn't show any emotions. Kind of like Manon from Throne of Glass (if any of you have read the series).

Sorry for the kinda long description. Thank you 🙂

Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss. The amount of romance might be a bit low... but it's there.

I have checked it out. It seems fun, and the reviews sing praises, so I will give it a try! Thank you 🙂

Eternal Sabbath. I didn't like the ending but the romance definitely matches your request.

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou might fit. Neither of them are so "cold" like Light Yagami, but they're both fairly ruthless and calculating. It's a high quality story too.

Edit: oh, Anne Freaks definitely fits.

Great manga and beautiful art

If you’re cool with Korean webtoons, the male and the female lead here are definitely cold and calculating. Male lead has some Yagami Light energy. Plot is going great so far and art is pretty good too.
