Can anyone suggest some shonen manga that a shojo fan might want to read? Some shonen I'm already reading are Kuroshitsuji or Mother Keeper. I'm okay with blood, but would rather there be no gore. Also, I don't want a manga that has a tournament-style plot ("Now that you've defeated THIS villain in 10 chapters, face THESE!"). I don't care it if has romance or not, but I'd like to read one with detailed art. Thanks in advance.

Errr, I'm not sure if they fit, but I like these:
Fullmetal Alchemist (I didn't see it on your list)
Id
Shikeisyu 042
Otomegatari
Superior

Why don't you try this seinen manga: Otomegatari? I love the artwork in it.

I've already read Full Metal Alchemist, and I liked it, but I'd rather read one where less people die . The others look really interesting.

Natsume Yuujinchou <-Shoujo type art and rather cute, but no romance to speak of
B-Shock <-Seinen, but the plot is kind of like a Shoujo

Sengoku Strays <3 <3 <3
An Untold Fact about Izumo Kunisaki <== IMO I thought the oneshot was much better than the ongoing chapter...
Tamago no Kimi <== this feels more like a shoujo most of the time
Change 123 <== I think it's good and has a pleasant atmosphere, but unfortunately is also ecchi...
Beelzebub <== funny and has super short battles lol
Ray

these are seinen, but their still very good doesn't have any explicit/mature content to be worried about.
Chocolat (KUBONOUCHI Eisaku)
Blood Alone

might also find some stuff here:

A lot of the good ones are already named so I'm just going to recommend one thing: Nononono - despite the fact that it's labeled as ecchi, there really isn't a lot and the storyline and characters are totally worth the read. Plus it's a gender bender told from a girl's perspective.

I would say Cheeky Angel (Tenshi na Konamaiki). Its labeled as Shonen but I always thought it was more like shoujo than not. Its got a lot of romance and comedy with of course some fighting,

Ruroni Kenshin - maybe... fighting + a bit of romance
inuyasha - same as above

hmmm...
i love shoujo!!!
but for some reason i like Battle Royale...
hmmm...maybe youll like it as well!!!

GUESS WHO??

those are good manga but I'd prefer something with less fighting than Inuyasha (I don't mind fighting, but I don't like the endless stream of enemies for Inuyasha to defeat) and I don't really read mature manga. Also, I'd rather there be no gore, and by this I mean body parts, insides, ect like in change 123. Sorry, should have been more specific..
