this one epitomizes everything I love about this trope.
Both are misunderstood because of their expressionless faces but go about resolving that issue in different ways. One becomes and outcast, the other a people pleaser, but together they feel understood and comfortable. Beautiful art (mostly), beautiful characters, fantastic dynamic
Scary-faced misunderstood boy x princely student body president who isn't as sweet as he seems. This is the blueprint
Terano's got that pretty boy smile with the evil glint in his eye love. (And Kumazaki's so damn cute)
Simple and sweet! Misunderstood tough guy falls for the calm, pretty boy that everyone likes. It's mutual and princely guy navigates the emotionally stunted habits of his bf. Not an astounding one, slightly lackluster ending but not bad at all. It's cute and sweet!
ABSOLUTELY fits the mould I love to see it. He gets that sadistic lil gleam in his eye from seeing him blushing
So cute.
Shima isn't exactly giving prince but the vibe still fits
not quite as good as the others and doesn't exactly fit the vibe, but delinquent guy is subby so there's that?
My guy's a prince in looks only but y'know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Fair warning, this shit is freaky in a weird way. Like, it's all played for comedy but there's some questionable decisions lmao. It's really funny and extremely stupid but yeah the freak shit is a lot
