Yeah there are always exceptions…
Another - In Rune Soldier the main male character is laughably hopeless in comparison with his 3 female party members. But even then, you have 3 female designs of desire in a anime woman there:
-The cute young-looking character
-The sexy amazon build character
-The beautiful pure and faithful character
They all have 3 strong personnelities in comparison to the main male character. He has his moments, but he is just a hopeless dork most of the time.
