I can’t think of any mangas that hit all the same beats, but I have some specific recommendations for each trope!
For stories where the male lead falls first/harder I would go with Furare Girl, Game - Suit no Sukima, and What’s Going On!
If you’re looking for an atypical female lead I suggest Raise wa Tanin again II, Mud, and Cheese in the Trap!
And if you’re looking for blushing cuties I can only talk about Mamura from Daytime Shooting Star. He is the apex of that trope.
I hope this was helpful!
I absolutely love it when male leads fall first! Blushing boys are the best. Not only that, but it’s a childhood friends/second chance semi-roommates romance story with a lovable supporting cast?? And a legitimately strong and realistic main character who doesn’t fall in love at the drop of a hat??? And the art style is gorgeous??? Wow amazing this is a new favorite for sure.
Usually I’d root for the second male lead, but I reaaaaally like Haejun!! He’s really sweet and just like a puppy
