Hi, i read so much shounen that sometimes i'm in the mood for psychology. I want action and adventure. Id like lots of action,adventure, and intelligent leads. Id also like the whole manga not to revolve around the main characters itself, and also to revolve around other characters as well (no dumb minor characters)

Musts: Smart leads
Adventure/action

Funny comedies
awesome main characters
Light-hearted situtations?

NO WAYS: yaoi/yuri/shounen-ai/shoujo-ai
tsundere/yandere/ or whatever those things are

Villains who have a stupid reason for becoming villains
Stupid minor characters
No long speeches about life
High school
CLICHES

Thx, this is probably hard to find but its like my ideal shounen manga

Wow, a triple post...

Back to your request.
Ga-Rei (features a bit of high school life, but not annoyingly much)
Kurohime
Shin Angyo Onshi (the romance is only part of the background, but significant to the plot)
Superior (lead isn't the typical airhead, but not completely "smart")
Tokyo ESP
Vampire Juujikai (the romance is only part of the background, but significant to the plot)

It's not shounen, but I'm sure you can understand it: Hoshi no Samidare

Rave Master would fit perfectly. Not sure if you've read it or not though. It's a great read either way biggrin

Totally second Rave Master ^^

You can algo give Psyren (but the ending is rushed because the series was cancelled) and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles a try.

I second Superior, although it doesn't fit in in everything that you asked (like the smart lead, althought the protagonist isn't dumb and love happens in the beginning).
I also recommend:

Inuyasha: The main characters aren't genius, but they're far from being dumb (although the villain is smart). There's lot of adventures, love takes time to happen and its built gradually and has everything else you asked. It's cool because almost every character has a romantic subplot.

Mirai Nikki: Maybe. It's love... Though in not a common perspective.
