Self-Deprecating MC - Recommend Me One

[waldo220]

Hi. I'm weird. I'm looking for a specific type of trope in a manga: the Self-Deprecating MC. He may have a pretty lady that likes him (or dating him) but he feela he isn't good enough for her.

I'm looking for something that'd emulate the pang you feel in your heart when you read (perhaps relate) to never feeling good enough for her.

Best example I can think of is Nana to Kaoru. Feel free to recommend anything similar or can emulate that pang for me.

Edit: I say he/she, but it can be the other way around too.

Real life ain't depressing enough for ya, huh?

 

[waldo220]

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN Apparently, I enjoy this kind of pain.

Not exactly sure but it sounds like you would like suicide boy. The only difference is that this is suicide boy and is mostly just depressing.

Ah, if you want depression here you go

Oyasumi Punpun? Punpun is self-deprecating at times (when and how, I will not say it here) as well as his uncle, Yuichi (sad to say that he's not the MC, this one I could spoil) has a whole arc that revolves around him

Spoiler

and how he tries to make himself look bad while his admirer could see through his act and thinks that he isn't that bad of a person.

I'm weird.

I don't think so. At least my gut says so.

Imamura from Again!!! is pretty self deprecating and also one of the best protags around

I don't think so. At least my gut says so.

That's sweet of you @AfterMidnightMoon

Will check out your recommendation.

@Ranzo I'm actually reading that! Kinda slow-going for a whileever since I've reached the latest chapter.
