snarpThis one, which is presently running in Hana to Yume. The love interest is this lecherous fox demon who wants to kick the homeless heroine back out in the street. A flashback started that I think was going to explain how his tragic past excuses this, but I stopped because I decided I'd rather think about C# again.
In this brave modern age, are there manga romances where the guy isn't a creep who excuses his behavior by means of a tragic past? Is Ouran High School Host Club seriously all we've got there? Ouran and Nana to Kaoru. I just listed the softcore bondage comic, I don't know if you caught that. It was the very best I could do.
I'd probably be happier with the trend if the girl got to take that role occasionally. I mean, is there even any yuri manga where one of the girls is genuinely a jerk? Where she doesn't die, I mean.

No hidden powers, no dark past of the hero to work on, only a misunderstood girl who makes friends in high school and whose personality catches the eye of a popular boy (who isn't as saintly as he seems either, although lots of people misunderstand that). It's just sweet and about growing-up and dealing with disappointments and doing your best in a non-preachy way. I think the only person who is a caricature of himself is the teacher.
