i really love the whole pure & self-sacrificial kinda character. (edit) preferably short & kinda feminine, too. any series you can think of? i’ve watched/heard of a lot of anime so i’d kinda prefer manga recs, since i don’t know of nearly as many.

i’d like to avoid romance, and i enjoy action, thriller or slice of life. lots of whump is VERY much appreciated too ;)

edit: i’d also prefer an overall score of over 8.0 pls

Trigun. Trigun is the textbook example of what you're looking for.

I recommend the manga over the anime.

Male protags with underwhelming physiques and easy-going personalities. Almost all of these have some romance, though:

Little Busters
Shakugan no Shana
Gosick
Seikai no Monshou
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Golden Time

Next one is female protag but Yuki, one of the male mc's, has some of the traits you're looking for:

Fruits Basket -- older version
Fruits_Basket 1st Season -- newer re-make

The male lead in Around 30 dakedo, Hatsukoi desu is very innocent and cute, but I don’t think he’s self sacrificial...
( also this is a romance )

GeGeGe no Kitarou is a centuries-old yokai that looks like a young boy. He has taken it upon himself to protect humans from evil yokai. One of the most famous manga ever written, it has been adapted to anime multiple times, with the current release being its 50th Anniversary adaptation.

Tarou in Ghost Hound is also a possibility. He was kidnapped as a young boy along with his sister and watched her die next to him. The story follows him when he is thirteen and in therapy for PTSD. He has also developed the ability known as "astral projection."
