Manga or manhua similar to...

[DOmus]

So, yesterday I started this Manhua that was really entertaining and the plot(kinda like SoL, with not teenagers characters) that focused on him trying to make the other girl fall in love with him with the comedies and hardships in between it make it really fresh for me. The manhua's name is Skill of Lure(shame there are not so many chapters).

So here is the deal, anyone knows another Manga or Manhua which could be similar?

-Guys trying to make the other girl to fall in love with him(but not in the shoujo way(I recommend to read this manhua for better understanding))
- Harem not necessary(better if there isnt)
- Decent quantity of chapter(though I could deal with it if there are more than 20 or 30)
-Comedy in it(but better if its handled properly)
- Similar art if possible(Im kinda picky in that area)
- a plus if there is a bro with a similar behavior like in the one Im talking about
- IMPORTANT, THERE MUST SOME ROMANTIC PROGRESSION not something were the guy just back off at the end or something that goes to nowhere, Im so sick of that at the moment

Hope there is something and thank in advance for the help.

The World God Only Knows has a guy making girls fall for him for plot reasons. All the relationships sort of end in a reset at first, but the manga changes later on and lots of things happen...

Spoiler for minor *ending spoiler:

he does end up with someone in the end, though I kind of wish it would have had a harem ending

Already read, raged that Yui did win and got over twgok. Thats why I said Im looking for something that it might not be an harem. Plus, he was being forced, Im looking for something more real, someone he actually wants(not someone in the last arc).
Still, thanks.

wow, am i reading that correctly?? im surprised it ended that way from reading your spoiler. i did try that series but rage quit after the first 6 arcs or so in the manga (or anime, not sure anymore). something about him getting all those girls to fall in love and then be just friends was painful/annoying to watch. even more so when he just ignored them soon after completing their route.

It wasnt that he ignored them, they forgot about him. It actually makes up for alot of exposition and internal struggle in the later story.

Also that was not a minor spoiler. That was a massive spoiler. But anyway.

true enough, though that whole reset thing was very, very, very annoying for the girls' side. what annoyed me the most was that he himself didnt learn to take the hint in the short time i followed the series. so what, he captures their heart, they forget about the details and he simply moves onto the next target.

keep in mind i used the word target, he doesnt consider what sort of feelings they may have felt for him in their route. i can excuse a few routes where he coldly moves onto the next target. the fact it takes that it takes so long for him to even feel something should be considered about the previous girls is what infuriated me the most about the series. seeing something in the short SE1 anime eps i saw would be one thing, but to drag it on is inexcusable. though i dont think i ever got around to watching the anime. i think i probably dropped it before it ever got animated.

regarding the anime ending spoiler

Spoiler:

who was it that he settled for? a harem ending is rather routine but unsatisfactory given he had so many options that he was better off choosing 1 girl

Spoiler:

The girls all start to remember their routes, so if them forgetting was what bothered you that changes... I didn't like the series much until I found out that the making girls fall for him and them forgetting was basically just one story arc

Spoiler for if you really want to ruin the ending:

He ends up with Chihiro, which early on was who I would have like him to end up with (how she was the one "normal" girl and how much she disliked him at first appealed to me.) But by the end the author developed things with other girls to the point where I felt really bad for them... I don't think the mangaka handled the ending as well as he should have.

ty for the reply Jedinat
spoiler #1

Spoiler:

cant say im surprised about that, i had the feeling they had some sort of vague interest in him shortly after their memories were erased. i did have a feeling they'd slowly remember it and i did accept that for the series. that was a minor thing that bothered me with the series, Kiema's cold attitude was the main problem i had with the series. from what i saw, his attitude/view wasnt any different from the first route or the many other routes. its like he also reset himself when the girls' lost their memories, that or he's just coldly indifferent to anything that isnt 2d. im not sure if i'd consider him a sociopath but id place him at some point on that scale for his indifferent attitude.

spoiler #2

Spoiler:

i dont mind skipping ahead to spoil the ending. i do have some interest in how some series end regardless if i lose interest in them or chose to drop them. this series was one that i wanted to know how it ended but i just couldnt bear reading/watching the series to find out. though with so many girls, im not surprised how complicated it ended up being. the mangaka had to develop each relationship so much that he's bound to break a few hearts either way

in the end i understand the running plot was complete the girls' routes but Kiema's approach to it lacked any real emotion. he did what he had to complete the routes but outside of any real routes ie 3d life/RL he's just the same person he was before Elsie met him. his approach is more like a soldier merely completing missions, no more and no less than that. this was one of the few series that i really did dislike and mostly due to the MC Kiema. he did change his ways later on but it took way too long for it to happen.

sorry if i side tracked the thread for a bit, i'll try to refrain from doing so in the future.

Thanks. At least post a series that might help.

Need A Girl, maybe? I guess that wouldn't fulfill the "romantic progression" part; or to say its on very slow side.

You could also try Moteki, which doesn't get the ball rolling for the MC for a number of chapters, and he'll never become a playboy or anything like that. He does get a "bro" of sorts in the later chapters and starts to move forward a bit like Sung-gi from that vantage point(but as the "bro" isn't his everyday-wingman, it doesn't go as fast).

Just occurred to me, do you play VNs? I think that might be fun for you ^.^"
