Whenever you try to search for a manga that has the main character (MC) who is a child, you will always find a list of Shounen manga that in theory have children protagonist, but can’t be considered as a child or kid.
For me, the answer or criteria Main Character (MC) is a child is, where the child has limited freedom and options due to their state as a kid and all always limited by their elders or guardians in many forms.
The thrill to see the child outwitting elders or just enjoying with them will make these manga’s worth your time.
