Don't even bother watching Busu ni Hanabata. If you're craving the "Conventionally Unattractive Heroine and Popular Ikemen" pairing- Hananoi-kun is far better. The character designs are unique, and the FMC is not hopelessly dense or as self-obsessed with negative self-commentary. Each character is genuinely present, aware of their own flaws, and struggle in a beautiful journey to overcome them whilst conveying their truest selves to those they care for. It's a love story worth watching.
Both of these have:
High School Setting
"Ugly" female lead
Popular boy (actually very attractive)
Main character who's dense about romance
