'Kageno datte Seishun Shitai' is very similar to this story; female lead is just as funny, unpopular and awkward. Male lead is just as sweet and popular. He falls in love with her first.
There's also 'Seishun Otome Banchou!' if you're just looking for Unpopular girl x Popular guy. The female lead in this story does think negatively about her own appearence, but she also uses it to her advantage. It's really funny.
If you're interested in reading through the boy's perspective, then there's also 'Boku No Orion'. He's popular, while she isn't. He also falls in love with her first.
Skip to Loafer! Super cute and a refreshing read!
+1 Skip to Loafer, it’s so wholesome.
I also recommend Mobuko’s love.

There’s a lot of stories where “ugly” girl gets to be with a hot dude but the FLs are gorgeous as fuck, I can’t take them seriously at all. So Tabata’s plain appearance is such a blessing,
Yey! Finally some recommendations thank you guysss(つ≧▽≦)つ
Can anyone pls recommend other shoujo mangas like this?
