funny main leads
Anime
The collection centres on leads whose behaviour creates comedy. Look at whether humour comes from a character's confidence, a misunderstanding or the response of the surrounding cast. A funny protagonist can support very different kinds of story depending on which of those mechanisms drives a scene.

What does success mean to the protagonist at the start? Check whether that definition changes along the way.
Start with a specific scene, then separate what happens from how you interpret it.
Compare the character's goal at that point with the choice they actually make.
