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

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.

how about Chrno Crusade?

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.
Trip Fall Die
GAH! My plot doesn't bend that way!

Quote from flawful
I second Happy! (Ugh, though, has it had any real romance yet?)
*Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

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. =(
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

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.
