Shoujo / shounen Bromance

Shoujo are popularly known to be RomCom And all fluttery. Iam sick of the flowery aura and the romance and all the love triangle. I need a manga where there's subtle or no romance..particularly shoujo. I need it to focus on bromance. Basically, Non BL with 2 male leads...some bit of comedy and rivalry. I've tried other tags but ...read them all. I need something new...
And shounen are more fight-oriented. I love fights but I'd like if the bromance is deepened etc. Like constant bickering.
I've read:
SHOUJO
Game x rush
kamisama kiss
cyboy
saiki kusuo
wolf girl ...
etc
SHOUNEN
Code breaker
kuroshitsuji
Pandora hearts
Oz Williams
etc
plz helppp. Tasukete 😢

A lot of my recommendations are josei. Most of my favorite bromances are in that genre.
The bickering/comedic sorts:
Akatsuki no Yona - there is romance but it's fairly subtle (simliar to Kami-sama)and there is a lot of focus on the male leads relationships. They argue/bicker rather a lot.
Golden Kamui - It's seinen but you might like it (it is rather vulgar if you are trying to avoid that). It's a really strange manga, but hilarious. Lots of male characters who bicker a lot. The relationships aren't really deep though.
Horimiya - There is romance but it is mostly about a group of friends. Rather comedic.
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - Josei. The male leads have a lifelong friendship/rivalry. It's really good (and the anime is excellent as well). Romance is pretty subtle, and is mostly used as a device in the male leads relationship.
Wind Breaker - manhwa webtoon about high school bicyclists.
S. I. D. - manhwa webtoon about a Korean police team with supernatural powers.
The serious/emotional sorts:
Sakamichi no Apollon - Josei. Hands down one of the best bromances out there. There is a bit of romance but is subtle and less important that the male leads' relationship.
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime - also has romance, but in a similar way to Akatsuki no Yona
Seishun Kouryakuhon - about boys at a boys school and their graduation fears and such.
Sugiru Juunana no Haru - Josei. It's not really that scary, even though it has a horror tag. The male leads are cousins, and there is no romance.
Tetsugaku Letra - This manga is mostly about the relationships between the male characters. The romance tag is a bit misleading since it's only at the beginning and end of the manga.
There was also a similar topic posted recently here which may have some manga of interest to you.
