I have read entirely too many manga where many girls are in love with one guy. Assuming no harem ending, these are the kinds of girls I’ve seen become the guy’s one and only in the end:

*Tradwife

*Personality of a golden retriever, and IQ to match

*Terrible luck; sucks at everything; would probably starve if left to her own devices

*Tsundere (surprisingly rare)

This is decent variety, but there are a lot of girls I’ve never seen win in the end:

-Way older

-Way younger (you perv)

-Loves gadgets and/or hacking

-Tomboy who is NOT a moron

-Sexual predator who's somehow supposed to be funny instead of terrifying

-Antiheroine with sad backstory and a dark side. (I hear Monmusu is heading this direction)

-Prim, proper, can’t believe she’s attracted to a goofus like the MC

-Actually a guy

What is even with manga’s insistence that its heroes never have sex? I once read a manga where the MCs are married, they truly love each other, and the only reason they haven’t settled down to spend the rest of their lives together is that they need to save the world first. The MMC keeps rejecting the FMC’s overtures to have sex, even though he seems to want it, and it’s never really explained why.
