something like Super Baby. cannot think of any other examples at the moment. >_< i know asahina is labeled as a seinen but i would like something that isnt super catering towards males, i.e. yancha gal no anjou-san (which i love, but is definitely male demographic). so i guess something more like super baby. pls dont give me just gyaru leads though!! 552w32
just any love interests that arent bishie pretty boys or super handsome bad boys 😔 i hate seeing them they all look the same. give me less feminine looking dude svp TwT established relationship is fine
i know there are threads out there exactly like mine but was wondering if any newer mangas fit the bill!!!!

Ryoumin 0-nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushusama It's neither a shoujo nor a josei but I'm gonna recommend it anyway. Unfortunately as is the case with most shounen/seinen romance the male lead is a bit slow when it comes to romance. Female lead makes up for it though. Marriage proposal in chapter 3 for starters.
~4400 manga completed
~1700 ongoing...

The last 3 are shounen but not heavy on the fanservice like Anjou-san so I think you'd like them. I know Do Chokkyuu is tagged as ecchi but iirc that's because
they have appropriately censored sex in 1 or more chapters and it's very wholesome and hilarious just like the rest of the series.

Like.. what's your definition of non Bishie?
Glasses type:
You and I are Polar Opposites
Rugged/awkward type:
Takasugi san no Chibi-yan Hero
Non-human:
The Girl Who Was Forced by Her Stepsister to Marry the Cursed Duke
Some of these are very old. So I don't if it was good or not lol
Edited: removed some repeats that others suggested

these are all great!! i guess by non bishie i mean non pretty boy/idol types? like tamaki from host club, kyo and yuki from fruits basket, or kurosaki from dengeki daisy. i suppose art style has somewhat of a contribution to that, but usually the heroine goes for a guy that all the other girls also love. but this list youve given is awesome! i havent looked through it completely, but the ones ive clicked on at random seem to be up my alley, thank u!! :9
edit: also noticed you included butter!!! ive been reading that and loving it!! and its one example of non bishie i think id say
