It can be an OEL-Manga, a traditional Manga, or a Manhwa, published in English probably sometime between 2006 to 2010.
Here are details that I remember from the first volume, which is the only volume I read: The dark-haired male protagonist has switched to another high school (a private school?), and already has a reputation for trouble. He wants to get lucky with the ladies, but they're snobby at best. He meets a blond upperclassman with girls flocked around him on the stairs and sees this fellow as his mentor. The upperclassman guy recommends that he help work the fashion show coming up so that he'd get access to the ladies and get on their good side. Although the delinquent kid isn't keen on the idea, he does want to meet women. There's one girl in particular that he has his mind set on. She's one of the most popular girls, and she might have red hair, but she's also a jerk.
One scene features the male protagonist knocked out during gym class, and waking up to find himself in the ladies' washroom, stripped to his drawers, with permanent marker written on his stomach indicating lewd things about his junk, possibly to get him expelled from the school. There's an African American girl (or Japanese black?) who finds him and either tries to knock him out again, or takes his side on the matter due to the pettiness of the cliquey girls.
Toward the third quarter or end of the volume, a two page spread and coda for the blond upperclassman, waking up in a leopard print shirt with a feather boa, conversing with his pet bird, and musing about how cute he finds the main character, and how he wants to pursue him for himself. This section may have been demarcated with a colour insert.
Despite his interest, it's not a predominantly gay/yaoi-oriented comic, but one with an additional bit of intrigue garnered from it. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this one out, as I've scoured 'Slice of Life', 'High School', 'Romance' etc sections, as well as what limited OEL-manga information is out there...
