Not meaning to be rude, and an honest take, but doesn’t that describe many male MCs in anime?

The rarity I see, is the confident and open male MC that has no problems talking to people or women.

I'm not talking about those lonely and shy MCs who are unable to talk to girls, have zero friends at the start and makes some friends along the way. I'm looking for characters that go through significant development and becomes a better person.

Okazaki Tomoya from Clannad is another example.
@NegativeRei That describes a lot of anime male MC's as well, that is still general and not specific enough.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

We have both an inferior complexity and a confident MC in japanese what we actually lack is just a normal MC that is not too confident nor like can't talk to girls
for example
MC from Days with my stepsister
or MC from pseudo harem
or MC from Rascal does not dream
We lack natural love development like we have in days with my stepsister or Rascal does not dream series.
@Nirabu That's a good point, I do agree, to an extent.

I think Rascal & Pseudo Harem are good examples of this concept and I enjoyed both anime.

The male MC in Days with my stepsister, is an example of a character that does act more normal in the story, except, I don't think the anime has what could be described as a "normal love development", they purposely jerked the audience back and forth between this "will they or won't they", with the lack of communication and strange assumptions, to the place that it got annoying and it didn't matter any more. In other words, I liked that male MC, but I disliked the anime story, I also disliked the female MC.

I think the male MC Hikigaya, Hachiman in the anime, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU", is another good example.

@kyo_1 So, I have watched 100 Girlfriends. It was actually enjoyable. But, it got weird when
Also, why doesn't this show has an ecchi tag? I'm kinda curious about how it'll handle the remaining 94 girls. I'm not sure if I'll watch S2 because it has a lot of fanservice. Maybe, when I don't have anything other to watch.

@NegativeRei Oh well I’m glad you tried it out! I do agree though, even if I’m not to bothered by the fan service, adding that in was a bit weird. I plan to watch season 2 myself.
