| i hate this anime but its popular and it seems the thing you like kimi ni todoke |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
Smooki said: i hate this anime but its popular and it seems the thing you like kimi ni todoke She did say she doesn't want one like Kimi ni Todoke. Plus she has already watched it. OT: Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun Might be what you're looking for. It fits most of your descriptions pretty well. |

| You should update your list. Chihayafuru This one has characters like the ones you're looking for but its main focus isn't romance. |
| maybe you like this Sukitte Ii na yo.: http://myanimelist.net/anime/14289/Sukitte_Ii_na_yo. ( normale girl ) |
 |
| Aishiteruze Baby would seem to fit the bill. Manga is a little better than the anime to my mind but they're both fine. (and I watched the anime first). The main difference is that the anime had an original end that avoided the final few chapters of the manga and some of the more adult situations involving the lead couple were only hinted at in the anime. Most importantly the lead couple seemed a lot more realistic in terms of where high school students are, than most anime's traditional rather old fashioned attitude, but I find that an advantage of shoujo over shounen romance. |

| Tomboys are never unpopular. |
 |
| Try Himitsu no Ai-chan. It fits your criteria iirc. And Koi Dano Ai Dano. She's not exactly tomboyish, but not insterested in looks like other girls. She's plenty independent. The story starts with the male lead already in love with her, so you might also want to check out the prequel Warau Kanoko-sama for how it happened. |
| Kokoro Connect Mod Edit: Please use spoiler tags. |

| Suzuka..? Everything fits your criteria except maybe the tomboyish part, but the main girl protagonist is from the track and field team if that counts. |
| First thing that came to mind was Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My Little Monster). She's not exactly a tomboy, but she doesn't really care about "girly" stuff. mino-chaan said: aratakun said: Kokoro Connect hmm i read the summary. Apparently they switch bodies, or personalities or something. And there is 5 boys and girls, and a love pentagon. All that sounds incredibly confusing. So.... Is Kokoro Connect confusing? It sounds like it would be super confusing with all the body switching love pentagon and 5 girls and 5 guys all mixed into it. Even the summary sounded confusing. It's surprisingly easy to follow. I'd give it a watch, and then make sure you watch the four episode OVA that concludes the series (Michi Random). Mod Edit: Modified quote. |

| Eminem meets Clannad Just when you thought Clannad's OST was as sad as it could get ;_; If you seen School Days, rewatch the ending while listening to A Little of Piece of Heaven by A7X. I guarantee laughs. |
| I think that : http://myanimelist.net/manga/1183/Cross_Game and http://myanimelist.net/manga/4770/Full_House may suit your taste. Cross Games it´s the one with more traits that you specified, the girl is tomboyish and cool, but the principal male it´s not quite popular, at least not in the beginning even through it´s a story centered in baseball, there´s plenty drama, i prefer to think, that´s it´s a slice of life mixed with the sport, one of my favorites. Full House is a bit more dramatic, and can be heavy in the psychological, but the comic relive is always present, so the reading does n´t get tiring.But the protagonist is a tomboy that thinks of love, not like some brainless girl.She´s gutsy and speaks her mind, the guy is possesive, and too popular for his own good, a bit naive too.And there´s plenty of pages for a development, just what you asked. Well, you did say that you dind´t appreciate the protagonist to be crazy love, but, try this one : http://myanimelist.net/manga/7630/Toshokan_Sensou:_Love_&_War Toshokan Sensou it´s not exactly your preferences, but, the protagonist it´s a tomboy,more the clumsy type, and the love between the two have development.It have more action than what you may like, but i recommend. http://myanimelist.net/manga/1896/Akuma_to_Love_Song In this one the protagonist it´s not too tomboy, but she´s cool.There´s development between.It´s more physiological then simple slice of life, but the development of characters is good. http://myanimelist.net/manga/11850/Keishichou_Tokuhanka_007 I do categorize the protagonist as a Tomboy, as the way she acts gives me this feeling, but, she doesn´t dress as one.There´s a development between the two, and the guy gives possessive vibes. http://myanimelist.net/manga/30315/Last_Game She´s not a tomboy at all, but it´s your typical girl that doesn´t have interest in love. Good Luck. |

| Definitely watch Kokoro Connect, it's one of my favourite anime and the summary really doesn't give it enough justice. |
 |
| Warau Kanoko-sama and its sequel Koi Dano Ai Dano. Kanoko doesn't really dress tomboys but her character design is pretty plain overall other than that I think it has everything you want. |

Like she acts/dresses guyish and all. Not a tomboy, but she definitely isn't interested in the male lead (who is the class romeo) at the start. Also it's worth watching just for the song "Sunnyside Up" which is the OP. |

mino-chaan said: Yep it's canon he likes her in the sequel. They now both go to the same high school. Iirc, it was already like that for him in Kanoko-sama. After all he's the only one among their group of friends who visits every school she transfers to. And they almost merryyeah said: Try Himitsu no Ai-chan. It fits your criteria iirc. And Koi Dano Ai Dano. She's not exactly tomboyish, but not insterested in looks like other girls. She's plenty independent. The story starts with the male lead already in love with her, so you might also want to check out the prequel Warau Kanoko-sama for how it happened. I read some of Warau Kanoko-sama, and he did seem kinda interested in her but i wasn't too sure. So does that mean in Koi Dana Ai Dano, it's proven canon? Like he does/says something that proves he likes likes her. Just curious, because the first one didn't have much romance so i thought they were just all good friends. |
| Library Wars is amazing and underrated. (⌒▽⌒) |
| hmm, interesting Arakawa Under The Bridge maybe ? |
mino-chaan said: Psyche_Izaya said: Library Wars is amazing and underrated. (⌒▽⌒) I tried watching some of it, but it kinda bugged me that the girl towered over the guy. She was like a head taller than him. And what bugged me more, was that he was basically like her teacher and had authority over her... Yet he's a total midget and shes all tall. To me, it looks kinda awkward when they stand near eachother; with the obvious height difference and all. Does he grow any taller? Or are they like that the whole story through o__o No, Lieutenant Dojo doesn't grow any taller, but the story itself as well as the development of their relationship is pretty good overall. I really like this "Library Wars" and I agree that it's a very underrated show but I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for right now, but give it a try in the future, it has a very interesting premise. |

| Mujuuryoku Shounen Okay, this rec probably doesn't fit at all, but at least the girl is a tomboy, and a cute one imo :) |

mino-chaan said: Is the female lead from Kokoro Connect a tomboy? The Inaba girl that dates the male lead. Just watch Kokoro Connect already! Trust me, you are going to like it. And yes, Inaba is a bit of a tomboy. Not a hardcore one, but she does act like one every now and again. Also don't worry about it being confuzing, it's not and the body switching is just the first "phenomenon" that the group is subjected to (due to the whole "body switching" description, my brother wrote the anime off as a "gag anime". After hearing that I almost didn't watch it myself.. I'm glad that I did give it a chance, one of my favorite anime right now ^^) |

Bit727 said: I think you just described Beauty Pop perfectly, I just LOVED the main girl character, she's so cool and chill about everything, the title isn't the best kind of title, but read the description This. Beauty Pop has hands down one of my favorite shoujo protagonists of all time. However, the romance in it isn't really the "main part" of the story, as there is legit no romantic devlopment till say the last few chapters. It is still amazing amazing though, my favorite shoujo <3 Also I would try Lovely Complex, the girl in there is sorta tomboyish, and it's super cute :D |
