Hi. I'm currently getting kinda worn out by all the drama in shoujo manga, so I've been looking for my romance fix in my shounen, too. Josei is good but few and far in between, and seinen works are very enjoyable indeed, but need time, effort and energy to read (plus the fact that most of them end in the patented bittersweet/poignant tragic romance that--albeit perfect thematically--seem to infuse all seinen works).

So right now I'm looking for a shounen with an actual resolved romance between the main ass-kicking character and a girl. I've searched the forums quite a bit, but most of the suggestions I've found on threads that bear a resemblance to mine are either a bit old (meaning the manga is already dead or has gone downhill in terms of either quality or romance) or the manga suggestions are ones that I've already read. At the top of my head, the only shounen I can really say have resolved romance are Psyren, Wakusei no Samidare and Rave. Beelzebub, Holyland, Area no Kishi, HSOD, HSDKenichi and Code:Breaker are still at the unconfessed feelings stage. Aishiteruze Baby, Beck, GTO are not shounen enough. and FMA and Bleach are a bit TOO shounen (not enough romance). And Ga Rei and Mx0 somehow lost its way.

Any suggestions? Right now my reading list is as follows: Mana, Aflame Inferno, Id, Eatman, and Shina Dark.

Zippy Ziggy romance is still in the blooming stage but it's there. Also, the comedy is more than enough to read this manga. laugh

Full Contact the art is sorta like shoujo though imo.
Superior also has a sequel.
Negative Happy Chain Saw Edge short but nice.

they´ve done many things, but no kissing and stuff. Like the thing with the photos,the hospital or the +natural anime. it may be not the main content, but romance is indeed a very important content in bakuman. even if it is platonic
