Hi.

 

I don't really have that much manga to read nowadays. I used to read completed series, so yeah, once I've finished them, there'd be nothing else to read.

So, if you guys have read a lot of manga before, I'd really appreciate it if you guys would suggest me some.

 

Anyway, I prefer manga with smart MC. I don't mind if the MC has any other strange attributes (such as being lazy, pervert, otaku, or whatever), as long as the MC is within smart or genius boundary. I've read TWGOK and Mahou Sensei Negima!. Also Denpa Kyoushi and Mahouka are already on my reading list. And also, it'll be even better if it's a romcom (just like all of those titles that I've mentioned).

Just a note, I don't really mind if it's a shoujo manga. But I guess I'll only kinda enjoy it if the male MC is the one who's smart or genius.

 

EDIT: Completed series is even more welcome. I don't mind the length.

 

So yeah, thanks in advance!

Here are some with smart MCs, altough not really romcom:

 

Iris Zero - Really good imo, however rarely gets an update. Also Romance.

 

Brynhildr in the Darkness - i only watched the anime, but it's in my to-read-list. also Harem.

 

Real Account - The MC may not be a super smart guy as you want, but i think you will like it

 

Assassination Classroom - Comedy, with The MCs being little smart. I only read until chapter 35 or something tough.

Iris Zero looks interesting. I guess I'll go with that one first. And Brynhildr..whatever. I guess I saw this at some anime list back then. Was the anime good? I thought it was just a decent romance story. As for the rest, I'll just bookmark them for now. Anyway, thanks a lot!

The Anime was good imo, except for the super rushed ending, where they put (to my information) like 50 manga chapters in 2-3 episodes or something.

And Romance isn't really the main genre here, it's has more to do with witches aliens and stuff.

I see. Ah well, at least the MC has photographic memory (right? it says so on the manga's description). Did they cover anything special regarding his ability? I mean, what's the point of having photographic memory if his ability will never be useful in anything.

IIRC, yes, he had.

And he is Usefull,

He is, let's say, the Brains  of the ''team''.

Now now... that's more than enough as a reason for me to read this. Definitely going to read this one (or perhaps watch the anime first, or whatever). Thanks for the info!

Smart MC, male preferred, romcom would be good, bonus points if completed?

 

Black Lagoon has a smart (male) MC but is action orientated.

Shinigami-sama ni Saigo no Onegai wo has a smart (male) MC, has more or less Romance and Mystery too.

Billionaire Girl, Magudala de Nemure, Spice and Wolf are all from the same Author and have smart (male) MCs and Romance, at least Spice and Wolf has a good amount of Romance and a little bit of 'advanced' romcom.

Liar Game has smart secondary MC (male), but the lead is naive (acts stupid) at the beginning...

Gunka no Baltzar has a smart male MC but lacks romance and is more or less action/politics orientated.

Naze Toudouin Masaya 16-sai wa Kanojo ga Dekinai no ka? Has a 'smart' male MC and it's some sort of romcom.

Kaiji has a (gambling) smart male MC...

Itsuwaribito Utsuho has a smart male MC, it's more action orientated and has almost no romance and only a little comedy...

 

Romcom with smart MCs, huh?...

 

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Be Mine, Hero!" "I Refuse!" has a smart (knowledgable) female MC and romcom elements.

Hitsugi no Chaika has a decent (not really smart) male MC and some romcom (the Anime was decent, dunno about the Manga).

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica has a smart and even stronger male MC (the Anime was decent, dunno about the Manga).

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. -Monologue- has a smart male cynic MC and should contain romcom elements (the anime was pretty good, just noticed that the manga has only 6 chaps out or translated).

"Smart Male Lead" + complete (and that I'd personally recommend   ) Buyuden, Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru, Eyeshield 21, Green Boy, Ichigo Jikan, Kurogane (IKEZAWA Haruto), Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Sakamichi no Apollon and Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume

[Coma Culture]

Two i'd suggest, with smart male leads are probably Horimiya, and Zennou no Noa. One other incredibly popular one has an emotionally clever lead is Onani Master Kurosawa. If you liked Brynhildr in the Darkness, which was suggested earlier, you'd also like Elfen Lied, another work by Okamoto Lynn. The main character of that one is a smart, normal, capable guy though he's entirely oblivious.

If you like Mystery Manga you should also check ''Death Note''(not hosted on batoto)
