I'm looking for any good shounen/seinen manga with protagonist that's calm or expressionless.
Hot-headed/passionate protagonist seem to be the norm in shounen mangas that they're a bit boring for me I much prefer cool-headed/indifferent/egoistic/anti-hero protagonists.
Something like Ryoma in Prince of Tennis (arrogant type and he's usually pretty calm), Kuroko in Kuroko No Basuke, or lazy/calm protagonist of One Punch man, Noblesse protagonist,or egoistic anti-hero characters..or the protagonist in Sword Art Online (anime), very calm.
Works I read/reading with calm/expressionless protagonist:
Dr. Frost
Noblesse
One Punch Man (I like his "lazy" trait too)
Prince of Tennis
Initial D
One Outs
Kuroko No basuke
Noblesse
Death Note (antihero)
Jiraishin (crime theme)
Kokou no Hito (loner/quiet/calm protagonist)
Genres I don't like - Ecchi, harem
I would much prefer a shounen/seinen manga with sports/combat/dark theme.
I also don't mind shoujo mangas like Ouran Koukou, Last Game, Beauty Pop, where the heroine are very calm/expressionless.
Any recommendation will be much appreciated.

How about a genre + category search? Shounen/seinen + "calm protagonist" - harem and ecchi.
As for recs:
Mushishi
Liar Game
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan
Historie
Ajin
Ansatsu Kyoushitsu
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Ping Pong
Fushigi na Shounen
Ubume no Natsu + associated sequels and side stories.
Kuroshitsuji
Akagi
Usogui
Gunka no Baltzar
Funouhan
Yamikin Ushijima-kun
Will add more as I remember; I've got a lot of others I just need to recall. This is my favourite type of protagonist, too.

I did the category/genre search with tags in the past but the selection is quite vast so I thought it'll be easier to get recommendations from people.
Thank you very much for the recommendations
