When it comes to hentai, it's never aims toward females reader (have a good looking male). The dom fm either overly cruel or out right abusive towards their partner or the male are resentful and ended up taking revenge. No, i don't want yaoi cause reading them makes me feel like i'm that creep who stalks on the couple.
I'm here, really looking for a manga (romantic) that has a genuine alpha/strong/smart female lead (not the type that acts tough, screams and yells but dumb af and ended up being save) she can be a bitch, breaks heart, be cold, idc. I need a character that's real and down to earth and would take the lead in the relationship if she wants to.
Is It Wrong To Get Done By A Girl?: Is a great example. Ever since i discovered this diamond block of a manga, i realized that there is almost nonexistent to have another with a similar premise.
Blood of madam Gissel: is really good
Lore Olympus: also have an amazing lead that act reasonable according to their background and can actually hold her self with out the help of a guy
Raise wa tanin ga ii: love this, absolutely 10/10 favorite female lead
Who made me a princess generally realistic and smart FL
Tale of Felluah: not physically strong but splendid at keeping her cool and social manipulation
Yumi cells
Some other Chinese imperial manhwa has amazing storyline with strong, calculating FL
That's to name a few (these took me years to find btw)
I've read a lot of self claimed "strong" female manga, but really though most of them ended up being dumb and need saving from a guy. Dude, this is 2020 women don't need saving no more, we do what we want, when we want and we have control over our life.
Technically r/l in Japan is the exact opposite. modern day Japanese men get depressed over every little thing(they would never survive even in the US, let alone places like africa, lol they have no idea what real stress is), and are more like robots, where as woman are more ascertive/outgoing.
However yea in manga and anime woman are portrayed as weak more often then not(got to cater to the fragile Japanese male psyche after all otherwise they literally kill them selves)
On to the suggestion:
Hanasakeru Seishounen(the art was greatly improved in the anime to make the characters stand out more, but otherwise the manga for this is pretty damn good, and she's very domineering. You can tell, she's use to getting her own way)
Moribito Guardian of the Spirit(this might only be available in light novel form, I don't know if you're ok with that or not)
Saiunkoku Monogatari(Haven't read the manga for this, but considering how awesome the anime is, the manga should be pretty good)
I have more parse, but they're not pushy about their obvious dominance, so I'm not sure if that counts towards what you're looking for
