Im looking for a manga with a really great/well written romance in it but isnt the main subject of the manga.
Put another way: I really like adventure and/or action mangas spiced with a bit of romance.
Ive read Superior, Watashi no Messiah-sama
and a few others...
I dont mind if its Mature or Ecchi so long as there is no Yaoi or Yuri.
Thanks in advance
(if there are any threads like this one already feel free to direct me to them instead)

Hmm, a difficult request.

Check out Kurohime, if you haven't already. The romance (and most everything else that makes it a good manga) doesn't kick in in full force until like the fifth volume though.

Other than that, you could maybe look at Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge, though the romance probably is the real point there. And Vampire Juujikai or Shin Angyo Onshi might work if tragic romance is okay.

For now, all I can think of is Ga-Rei.
EDIT:
Rappi Rangai
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
I don't know if these are really GREAT romances but here's what I got.

Quote from flawful

The Music of Marie
Happy!
Zetman

I second Happy! (Ugh, though, has it had any real romance yet?)

Change 123 is a great example of what you're looking for.

Double Arts would have been, but it's just disappointing since it was discontinued abruptly. =(

Great Romance but more than that??

Threads of Time
Godchild
1001 nights
Crimson cross
Ludwig kakumei
DOLL: IC in a DOLL
(and ignore the stupid description and mislabelled 'shounen-ai genres' in some of these mangas....)

ack!! How could I forget THIS!?!!

Princess!! Best Manwha EVER! It tells the reader THREE generations of Royal families. Loads of politics, romance and scandals. I feel like it's a retelling of Napoleon bonaparte's life or that british medieval times! 🤢

Try Kugutsugi. Also I am quite impressed by that author's works.
