Hey,
I'm looking for a new manga to read, a shounen romance with the following:
The main couple is obvious even if there is a love triangle. (e.g Sankarea)
If possible the romance is with the MC childhood friend. (I know this is quite rare so if it isn't the childhood friend I don't mind)
Has a good/interesting plot.
Something along the lines of Magico would be good or Mahoraba. There two are completely different mangas but that is the type of romance I would like if possible.
The points I liked about Magico is the likeable characters, simple romance that takes place and the action.
I think that is it I'll add some more info later if I've missed something.

I would like no harems as well as no yaoi, yuri etc. Also that the female lead isn't too tsundere and that the manga isn't heavily relied on ecchi.

Thanks

Gan-Kon
Hekikai no AiON
Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi
Chou Dokyuu Shoujo 4946
Psycho Busters

I hope those fit, your requests lacks information (e.g which points of magico you liked)

________________
in need of romance?
uncommon, sad, sweet

maybe Ga-rei
or Tokyo ESP
not sure if it is enough romance in them though

Psyren
Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa Ending sorta pissed me off though.
Onikirisama no Hakoirimusume
Kannagi Main couple may not be too obvious.
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
Mysterious Girlfriend X Not shounen, but fairly innocent.
Toradora!
Yumekui Merry Main couple not totally obvious yet...
Love Allergen
Countrouble

NOTE: I didn't look through your lists so maybe you've read these or are reading, if so sorry and just ignore the ones that you are reading or have read, but maybe it will be helpful to someone else.

Eden no Ori [childhood friend]
NiseKoi [childhood friend(?)]
Minamoto-kun Monogatari [quite ecchi but it's a very good manga. may want to give it a go before dismissing it]
Sore wa Totsuzen, Unmei no Aite ga [about many different couples but goes on for a few chapters on each one. pretty good read I think]
Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami
Seishun For-get!
Tokyo Ravens [childhood friends]
Countrouble [has childhood friend in a love triangle]
Tonari no Kashiwagi-san [just started reading this so can't comment much on it but it's good so far]
Ga-Rei [one of my favourite mangas, has some romance but not alot]
Angel Beats! - Heaven's Door
Kiwaguro no Brynhildr [Childhood Friends]
Iris Zero
Superior Superior †

Thanks for the suggestions
@Lorska
Sorry if my post didn't have much info but I will be reading Gan-Kon and Itsuka Tenma. Thanks
@gss93
Thanks I'll be reading Ga-rei
@sunder
I'll check them out but I've read a few of them already and I agree with Kagami no kuni ending was bad.
btw for Yumekui Merry who are you suggesting is the main couple Isana or Merry?
@Blood_Wolf
Thanks I'll try out Eden no Ori, Sore wa Totsuze..., and probably a few others.
For Minamoto-kun Monogatori thats a harem isn't it? If so I won't be reading it unless the MC sticks to one character. Harems kind of annoy me.
Thanks alot all

yes I feel the same way about harems, absolutely hate them. and this one is also a harem, he won't stay with the first girl, there are another 13 afterwards (probably one per volume) so it's up to you how you feel about that. even though I hate harems I seem to enjoy that one

yet another title that I remembered;
Pajama na Kanojo [this is another new manga thats come out and has childhood friends in it. only 2 chapters at the moment though.] EDIT: never mind this is an ecchi title too i realized

Kinda makes me feel sorry for the characters in harem mangas
As long as Pajama na Konojo is not heavily reliant on ecchi I don't mind it so I'll check it out anyways, Thanks
