Kuudere, dandere, introverted and logical female love stories romance

I'm looking for a specific female characters from anime or other media (movies, manga, comics, TV series, books...) with an enough developed romance story. It should be stories where there is enough hope for successful love-story ending for such characters. There are many media where there is clearly no hope for such characters and they have unrequited love. Or such characters are friends only. Or there are media without romance at all. This is not what I'm looking for.

And these female characters should be:

- Kuuderes
- or danderes that are logical thinking or not very emotional "inside". That do not loose their head. May be even not good at relationship establishment — do not see other peoples relationships or do not pay attention to it (but this is not always the case).
- or introverted "emotionless girls"
- or introverted thinking types from Jungian Typology (see the paragraph after this list)
- that are non violent and non aggressive. At least she does not force other people to do what she wants (or stop doing something) violently or aggressively when it's not her duty.

But there are more than that. Three first types of characters actually are some subset of IxTx personality types from Jungian Typology:

- IxTx in JATS: INTJ-BS, ISTJ-BS, INTP-RA, ISTP-RA,
- IxTx in MBTI: INTx and ISTx,
- LXI/XLI in Socionics: LII, LSI, ILI, SLI,
- (See tables one and two from the article for unnecessary extra details).

Also with an additional condition of being non violent and non aggressive personality (see above for details) - this is in most cases valid for INTx and ISTP-RA, but sometimes is not valid for ISTJ-BS (ISTx). Surely there are IxTx that are neither emotionless girls nor kuuderes.

- I means introverted: more quiet than noisy, more passive than active, more observer than participant, more loner than social. Actually it's a complex trait that's not yet well defined.
- T means prefering logical reasoning / tasks over feelings.

To summ up IxTx is a smart and reserved personality, sometimes it's a shy personality, sometimes not. Smartness is about analisys and intelligense but not in knowing other people feelings and relationships (or they simply see relationships as something logical). Sometimes such characters simply lack interest or skills in feelings and relationships (it may look like social bluntness) but there is also no information about them being smart or logical (it's out of the narration).

So the criteria is actually IxTx.

List of anime, manga, movies, books, TV series & comics with IxTx romance is in this special MAL profile.

So the media I'm aware of is listed in this special profile (also see external list in "3. Some media that I watched but haven't added the the lists above").

UPD

There are links to crossposts with suggestions that are not in this list at the end this post.

Periodically I add new items to the lists. Mainly to the:
https://myanimelist.net/animelist/kiwi0fruit?status=7&tag=2list (anime 2list)
https://myanimelist.net/mangalist/kiwi0fruit?status=7&tag=2list (manga 2list)
But sometimes directly to the lists of other media on
https://myanimelist.net/profile/ixtx (other media list)

This time I updated the other media list of books.

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto https://myanimelist.net/anime/54492/Kusuriya_no_Hitorigoto
Looks like quite good but very slow IxTx female romance. Though we still not sure whether it would have a romantic ending (even from LN spoilers as it's still ongoing).

Kuudere girls romantic interactions (plus introverted and logical girls): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/45360

Some kuudere girls romance. Plus introverted and logical (at the same time) girls romance. Warning: happy ending with kuudere is not guaranteed. In some series there is no romance, but it can easily be imagined. More kuudere romance: https://myanimelist.net/profile/ixtx

Damn, I had forgotten about AURA, that film, whitefang's last battle or something, it was rad, definitely worth rewatching, there are some parts which are cute somewhat, then she literally turns into Rikka from that other Kyoani anime, some others are just cruel or cringe inducing, a very nice film to see why a kuudere would never work in real life, even if they're absolutely adorable to watch in anime.

Oh and HI-Score girl, right, that one I tried to bring up sometime before, Zettai didn't agree on her character very much, I can't say I'm completely sold on her either, she behaves like a D EG but then she suddenly gets mad as hell for whatever reason.

And RE-Life, definite must watch for a good EG B turning into kuudere and blossoming beautifully, even if the show seemed more like an analogy to me, it's not for everyone, it can stir up that same feeling you'd get while watching Welcome to the NHK, not exactly a nice thing to feel when you're depressed, but still.

This just makes me realize how many good #romancing cool girls# anime came out ever since the time we discussed this subject WAY back, I still won't be supporting Rachel in Satsuriku no Tenshi tho.

I have more leeway in this regard. I've seen IxTx MBTI personalities (introverted and logical girls) in real life way before I learned about kuudere trope. Hence for me kuuderes are a hyperbolization of the IxTx personality first and foremost. Likewise Genki is a hyperbolization of a ExFx personality (approximately). That said, not every person fits stereotypical MBTI type. Contrary, most of them DO NOT fit. But still it's a useful way of measuring personalities: use combinations of standard types to approximate real people.

Not a canonical IxTx but pretty close.
