Trying to remember a manga I had read a few years ago. A little spotty on the details, but - MC is the first born boy of his family, but is missing a hand/arm and is a family disappointment and closed off/ignored. A girl comes to live with him as his maid and/or fiance and lifts him up and heals him emotionally.

The closest thing I can think of is Taisho Otome Fairy Tale. However, the MC loses function of his hand/arm early in the story due to an accident. Everything else seems to fit though. I remember reading the beginning of the series, but dropped it pretty quick. I don't remember why though, probably just had too many series to keep up with.

Yes! This is it, thank you!

The only one armed protagonist born with a single arm I can think of is Devin from Standard of Reincarnation, but I don't think that's it.

Not it, but thank your for the thought! I don't recall if they were born with only one arm or if happened later.
