"Popular male lead" mangas!

That's it. Looking for mangas where the male lead is known as one of the following options:
-The "prince of school" (kind, hard-working, flawless, just like Kimi ni Todoke's Kazehaya)
-The school delinquent (if he only has the delinquent looks it's enough 😉 )
-The one who looks cool, aloof at first but has a great heart
I'm trying to avoid with all my might the pet-master relationship (whenever the female lead is treated like a slave), please do so 🙁
That's the main reason I gave up using the "popular male lead" tag, as most of them were master-pet relationships.
Also, typical scatterbrain female leads are not welcome.
Thanks!!

If you are looking for flawless male lead, you can't really do better than Sakamoto Desu Ga? since the whole premise is Sakamoto is literally the coolest guy ever.
I recently finished Beelzebub where the male lead is literally king of the delinquents at an all delinquent school if you're into shonen battle series.
The male lead in Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatte Iru is kind of a delinquent in that he's super anti-social. Though one of the two main female leads is kind of scatterbrain so this might not work as well.
are you looking specifically for romance or are other genres ok?
here are a couple you can try, none have scatterbrains/master pet relationship
Beauty Pop -one of the most popular boys in school since he is the leader of Scissors Project
Cheese in the Trap -this one is set in collage and the male lead is the most popular guy in their department.
Iris Zero - not sure if this one really works or not, he is considered the loser of his school because he does not have an ability so that makes him popular in a way.
