I'm looking for a romance mange with a happy ending that has a male main character that is shy (awkward) and or unpopular. I would also be happy if you could recommend manga the is already fully scanned or is at least finished and very close to being fully scanned.
examples of manga with characters that are exactly what i'm looking for.
- Hibi Chouchou
- Hajiotsu.
- Tonari no Kashiwagi-san
or also has something else unfavorable about him.
- Saruyama!
basically a manga where the main male character is not the perfect combo of looks, charm, brains, and also happens the be the most popular guy in school who is also the son of a billionaire. So just an average person.
The above stuff is more important what i mention next is more specific and I would like it included but not necessary.
If possible I would like the MAIN(last) "problem" with the relationship to be pretty flushed out before they start dating not some secret problem that gets relieved later.
Example WARNING MINOR SPOILERS for the first 3 manga mentioned above.
- Hibi Chouchou
The shyness of both the characters is the main problem and is introduced long before they start to date.
- Hajiotsu.
The story starts with her lying about her confession and that's the last big problem their relationship faces
- Tonari no Kashiwagi-san
He is an otaku and she hides their friendship which is one of the problem they face and also get introduced at the start
Also if you want to recommend a manga that doesn't fit the criteria as long as it's fully scanned and has a happy ending. just tell me it doesn't fit the criteria i'll still look at it.
EDIT: Didn't mention in post but in the title also looking for the main couple to be dating for at least 50% of the manga this is not necessary but highly preferred.

You can try 3D Kanojo but only 7 volumes are released out of 12.

There's this manga: Seishun Location, playing the otaku boy x popular girl trope. It's not completely scanlated though, with 2 of the 3 volumes out.
And oh, a cute oneshot: Jimikoi might fit the bill.
I'm in idol hell T.T
