Oh, and the ex-girlfriend is of course still badly in love with him.

12 Kingdoms/Juuni Kokki.

I also suggest the novels. Don't expect the girls to be moeblobs and otaku-bait waifu: they are all flawed and unsympathetic first who struggled to grow up, facing their demons and reach their coming of age.

Or romance. There's very little of that shit.

There's nothing wrong with boyish girls as long as they feel comfortable with their own skin and aren't trying to "prove" they are manly. That's why Youko is great. She's not a forced tomboy, she forced herself to play the role of girly girl while she preferred to tomboy around and got to be herself in the end.

Nothing wrong to be girly either as Shoukei is.

To them, their strength was to grow compassionate from their more selfish, jaded and bitchy attitudes (because their lives sucked) and with that kindness and maturity they gained, they became admirable. They both also have a close relationship with a guy, but the series isn't focusing on romance so it only lightly teases it. All of them have an understanding, and their goals, and they cherish and support each other without some kind of sick dependence that you often see on anime.

A little of selfishness isn't bad either, it just makes the characters, male and female, more realistic.

Senpais are good, but the relationship tends to be too uneven, either the senpai becomes too lovey dove for the kouhai, or the kouhai is too beta and puts the senpai on a pedestal.

With a kouhai heroine, the MC often learns to respect the younger one despite age or experience difference, so the relationship becomes more equal.

So kouhai heroine definitely.

Warning though: anime adds two anime only characters (one, another was a minor character who was reinvented) to make them join Youko's journey and externalize the conflict, but it's ok as adaptation. The third season (second Kei arc) is amazing in the anime. A must see.

Second warning: the girl trio that is fleshed out in the anime (Youko, Suzu and Shoukei) all start as really really obnoxious and uncomfortably human (these aren't flaws people overlook like "she eats too much" or "fails tests") they are bad, petty people in a noncrazy way. The trials the show put them through make them grow and mature to be kind and compassionate.

It's a standard trope for kouhai characters to have low self-esteem and worry that their senpai won't be interested in them but still hope that they'll attract their attention. A prime example of that is Sakura from FSN who idolizes her senpai and hopes that he'll pay attention to her even though at the same time she considers herself unworthy of it.

It serves to make the character seem cuter. I don't think that's a negative trait in itself; it all depends on how the character as a whole is structured and whether there's more to them than that. In the case of Mai for example I think that this is the case.
>>
>>133795471
Twelve Kingdoms is pretty much this, and it's especially strongly present in the novels (I really resent what they did to Youko's characterization in the first part of the anime).

She starts out as a meek, submissive little bitch who's terrified of making waves and plays along with other nasty assholes in order to fit in. She grows up into a strong leader with the resolve to do what she thinks is right.

Every protagonist in the series gets their own story of growth in a similar sense.

Why does a girl need to be automatically all over the MC as soon as he appears? She thought he was a useless newbie until he proved otherwise and earned her respect, and then her love, and when she realized she didn't leave to fate, confessed and worked so he would also love her with success.

It was not her fault, but a result of the evil (imperfection) of others.

Not being completely welcoming with new people doesn't make someone antagonizing, in fact she immediately acted as his friend and was always the closest girl to Tatsumi in Night Raid. Other characters were "welcoming" but distant until much later. The only dichotomy here is the one you're projecting.

Women don't work like that though. Women have developed reproductive strategies that work by cultivating incertitude and what is colloquially called 'spinning the plate', that is, ensuring enough choice to allow her to retract at any moment.

Most women literally can't get out of this deeply imprinted behaviour. They literally can't seek a man and tell him they want to have sex with him, even though they really want to.

As bullshit as is the standard of interaction between the gender in the traditional anime, at least Japan got it right on that. A woman will never be forward because incertitude is a useful tool in the early stage of her relationship and even more, it will be useful all her life.

Seriously, I can't get into most Shonen series because how they handle it. Either have romance or don't even hint at it, I hate how they flirt that stupid line withour any resolution. At least in Naruto everyone gets married.

>One Piece
Characters confess to MC/flirt with MC, making romance relevant in the moment. MC is literally oblivious/asexual, leaving that plot point pointless.
>Bleach
Character literally confesses over sleeping MC while she goes off to sacrifice herself or whatever, and is always thinking talking about MC romantically. MC never gets involved in plot point, making it pointless.

Seriously, either nothing and no flirting/confessions, or give us resolution.

I mean come on, even Dragon Ball and DBZ has marriages in it, awful, irrelevant marriages, but at least there's a conclusion thrown in.

You are literally the reason there are so many poorly written women, because writers are too concerned with making the male audience want to fuck or marry her. As a result, they are boring as fuck and lack interesting flaws. A female character does NOT have to act like a female who would appeal to you in real life to be a good character in anything but shitty waifubait series.

Gender swapping a male character to a female would be a safe way to make them interesting, but the instant the writer decides to make a girl he waters down her personality and ups her attractiveness to make her more palatable as a woman rather than as a character. Bitchy, selfish women can make excellent characters (eg Eva from Monster) even if they don't make good waifus.

In tons of animals (especially mammals) you can see this. Males compete with eachother, females sit back and get competed over. For the most part this has not changed in humans.

That's exactly the kind of "just-so" conjecture that gives all of evolutionary psychology a bad name: it takes a personal perception of "how things are" with no quantifiable empirical research nor any statistical evidence to back it up, spins a fantastical evolutionary justification for it, and declares it an inexorable truth.

People who already want to believe it and don't want to put in the effort of any kind of source criticism will eat it up and feel validated that their emotionally based beliefs are "justified by science."

In the mean time anybody who actually cares about truth and science is left tearing out their hair in exasperation.

Anyway, this was supposed to be a Tibetan wall scroll board, not some infantile men versus women battleground.

On that note, it's safe to conclude that the OP just wasn't looking hard enough; there's plenty of material that matches their criteria, such as Best Girl right here.

It's a well known fact that the only people who refuse to admit something is true unless some impossible study encompassing the ENTIRE world is done are people who know they're wrong but just don't want to admit.
You're like some Bigfoot enthusiast who refuses to think it might not be real unless somebody somehow scans every square inch of the earth and the same time and proves Bigfoot isn't in any of them. And even then you'd probably come up with some excuse like "yeah well he can probably just become immune to scanners so I'm still right!"
Like seriously how fucking delusional do you have to be to try and claim women aren't generally the passive one in relationships. You'd have to be a retard, or a woman yourself looking to protect your ego. If anything you're the one who should be giving some kind of evidence since you have the claims that are so ridiculously against common sense.

Feel free to point out where that specific claim was made.

Even if we presume that a general trend like that does exist, it doesn't make the bullshit layman evo-psych speculation (as in >>133800884 ) about it any more valid or useful. Even worse, that post immediately proceeds to claim that this is a universal, inescapable truth.

> women literally can't get out of this deeply imprinted behaviour

> A woman will never be forward because incertitude is a useful tool in the early stage of her relationship

You say that people deny that "women are passive in relationships" but that's a pretty fucking different statement from "the biological truthfact of the matter is that women are born to be blueballers and literally cannot help it because it is the best evolutionary strategy, this is a fact because of evolution and psychology. QED."
>>
>>133816240
Neither have you. Why should I believe anything you say. Why should I believe women are JUST as active and aggressive as men when that goes against every observation and experience I've made in my life.

Are you one of those faggots that will hide behind "muh science" as an excuse to deny literally everything you don't like? Do you think nobody can ever know ANYTHING unless there's a study done on it? I'm pretty sure I have 2 hands. I've spent my whole life seeing that I have 2 hands.

I never said that women are as sexually aggressive as men; I disagreed with the idea that you can ascribe human behavior to biological laws that apply to all animals. There is actually a body of research that shows that human female sexuality is in fact plastic and can be easily altered by social conditions. Here's a review on the topic:

Oh so you're all just mad that he said it like it applies to 100% of all females. Do you also think people are always actually being serious when they use the word "literally"?
Well I'm sorry I can't change what he said but do know I made sure to say "yeah maybe a few women break the mold". Still won't change the fact that most women probably go through their entire lives, with multiple relationships, and have never once had to be the one to approach the man and ask him out. When you see women giving and asking for dating advice it's always about "how can I get this guy to ask me out?". The thought of just asking him out herself never occurs to them because women are just far too risk averse and comfortable in their position of safety as the chooser that they virtually never put themselves in a position that they might be rejected. Hell I've tried suggesting they just do the asking before (on some of the more normalfag boards like /adv/) and the women there get mad and tell me to go back to /r9k/, like my suggestion that they put themselves out there is somehow so offensive to their core beliefs about women that it's sexist.

It stretches belief somewhat, but there are definitely people that would just internalize everything and blame themselves for abuse they suffer, and she seems to be a pretty prime candidate given her childhood. She's more believable if you think about it less from the perspective that she's too kind and nice to resent anyone, and more that she has such low self-esteem that thinks she deserves everything she gets.

Though I will agree that she's flawed in such a way that will be palatable to most people, unlike Ueno or Kawai, who are more realistically flawed (and thus more distasteful).
