Closest compareable would perhaps be Sharin no Kuni's Kenichi, though Yuuji is a much better written character overall. Unlike some of the protagonists in OP post, Yuuji "manliness" doesn't come from high powerlevels or chanted signature moves, but simply from his interaction with the other characters. He goes to very drastic lenghts in order to "save" the heroines in their respective routes (less so in Michiru's route, where he snaps out of his assholery only at the very last moments). There actually isn't much action in Grisaia apart from the very last scenes of some routes, where his skills do receive some spotlight.
He also receives some great development in Makina's route (Kajitsu) and Grand Route (Meikyuu).

I've withstood the bullying and made the program nicer. Now it has a GUI and you can select the amount of vertical lines you want your output to have. The font is supposed to be monospace and it works with Latin characters but as you can see not so much with Japanese ones. Not that it matters much, though, because after copying it here, it won't be monospace anyway.
