alright so this one is pretty simple i am looking for more romance manga to read that follows a strong female lead falling for the opposite weak guy i am gonna point out a few things below but keep in mind they are not things that needs to be in the manga for me to read it but i would love it more if they where
the 2 first points are the only ones i feel like i need to have there

1 i want the girl to be the one who starts out falling for the guy and be the one who actively tries to find ways of letting this be known since i have seen too many mangas where the guy is the one to try and win her affection so now i want the opposite

2 NO TSUNDERE i repeat no tsundere if i find even a hint of the girl being a classic tsundere i will close the manga down right then and there and pretend it never existed i cant stand that trope and want it to die so none of that please

3 when i say strong female falling for weak guy i mean something like
girl who loves working out and is physicaly strong falling for the less than average normal guy
delinquent girl who everyone is afraid of and tends to look scary falls for the small weak guy that no one looks at and is the only one she acts girly around and shy about
taller than most girl who others tend to avoid for being so different ends up liking the small guy that one one would expect her to like
generally i just want stories where both partners are complete 180 of each other yet the girl still tries to win his confession for whatever reason

other than that i have a few more points that do not have to be there but does increase my enjoyment

no tsundere but i dont mind shy reactions from the girl or panicked or her running off if it becomes too much for her just avoid the whole agressive i hate you and i shall hit you cause i dont know what else to do thing

if she is someone who is considered scary or dangerous i love when she acts completely different happy and shy around the guy she likes

i would like to avoid the guy being an ass or someone who dislikes her till later i would prefer him to be either oblivious or just as shy about it as her

i would like if someone other than the two leads knew or learned about the girls affection and would prefer to avoid a situation like this one manga i dont remember with this stupidly strong delinquent who always tries to keep it hidden from everyone but i dont need her to try and tell people would just like if she didn actively try and hide it

i would like to avoid the type of strengh that involes magic supernatural powers or aliens and such and focus more on more normal strengh like what i said above

and just like with her i prefer if the weak term for the guy does not include being a coward or a wimp though i dont mind if he is someone who tries to avoid conflict or is afraid of things as long as he still has the couarge to stand up for what he likes or who he cares about and such

i think that was about it really i think i gave a good enough idea of what im looking for
also i dont have a mal since i always forget the name of stuff i have read so fire away
and lastly remember i want the girl to be the focus and the one trying to gain affection not the guy this time i want to focus on how much she ends up liking him and her ways of trying to make it known

Well you’re asking for a lot sir...I didn’t read everything but try SNK
Eremika is def not canon but whatever, try SNK, even though Mikasa can be seen as Eren’s sister since they grew up together, they’re not really blood-related so it’s not incest.
Eren isn’t that weak but compared to Mikasa, he’s a weakling, to me atleast.
Mikasa is a very strong character, she even has abs (source: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pPDx0PkM904) and she always tries to protect Eren whenever he’s in trouble.

"Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon", follows a goddess attracted to a young boy who derives his fighting abilities from the said goddess.

Also I havent seen this one, but maybe Gosick? Heard the female MC is much smarter than the male lead but apparently grow closer.

Spice and Wolf might also be in this category

Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic."

i have seen some of these only problem is that in most of these cases it is the situation of a normal looking ish girl with supernatural strengh or magic :P

and to the guy above i dont need most of the points i put out the only thing im really looking for is strong looking girl like a delinquent fitness nerd or stuff like that falling for the opposite of her :P everything else is more or less optional

My bad. Didnt read the part about physical prowess. I havent seen a lot of episodes of this but based on what I have seen, there may or may not be a certain romance element.

Seirei no Moribito. MC is a badass warrior woman being one of the best in the country. She has a childhood friend who is a medicine specialist. There arent any overt romance shown so far with 10 episodes in, but they certainly share a close bond.

Frankly, I've only watched the first episode of the anime (it felt way too sugary to my liking, but I'm a cynic, so the problem's probably not in the show) and I don't even want to know how the story progresses (who chases after whom) or if the anime's anything like the manga or vice versa - but people seem to enjoy it (based on the average rating) and the premise (super tall girl + super short guy) is precisely what you're looking for (uunless you've already read it), so I thought I'd bring it up.^^

Koukou Debut: The girl, Haruna, is super athletic and falls for the boy, Yoh, first. However, Yoh is super popular and kind of angsty, but he is generally always pretty nice. Its one of my favorites and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Tsuki ga Kirei: I don't know if this has a manga, but the anime is about a athletic girl, she's in track, and a boy who is not very popular or athletic. He is sometimes a wimp, but when it comes to the girl he goes for it.

3D Kanojo: The girl is just way out of the guys league, so I don't know if this is 100 percent what you're looking for, but the guy is super wimpy for the most part idk sorry.

Another vote for Moribito. The relationship between Balsa and Tanda extends through the other novels which were adapted into a beautiful live-action series by the NHK.

That's awfully specific. Maybe try Kurokami? I only saw a few episodes, but from what I remember of the setup it might go in the direction you're looking for.

I was reading your description and all I was thinking was, this sounds soooo similar to pashiri na boku to koisuru banchou

In this manga basically the girl is a delinquent and she falls in love with this guy but they guy thinks she's trying to make him her errand boy, and so the misunderstandings begin XD
