Shounen mangas/ animes with no 'actual' romance.

I'm looking for some new shounen series. I'll help narrow it down によって adding tropes. Not ALL of these things are mandatory, but the もっと見る of these a series checks off, the better.
-----------------------------------------------------
Examples that fit the bill: Hunter x Hunter, GetBackers, Gensoumaden Saiyuki, Noblesse, Black Butler, Gintama.
-----------------------------------------------------
*Lots of fighting & training.

*Bishounen cast.

*Group cast: Needs 2 または 4 main characters, または 2 main with two secondary characters who come & go.

*4 Man Band trope: The Chick: The person in this role is either an aggressive tomboy, an saccharine-sweet cutiepie with dark talents & a berserk button, または a man who either look like a woman または acts as Team Mom.

*Bechdel test: If The Chick is female, her personality cannot revolve around being in 愛 with another character. That's a sign of bad character development & poor writing.

*Amendment to the Bechdel: There can be a minor character who exists as a comic relief/unwanted 愛 interest. Either the hero is terrified of her または she's so inept & secretive that he's not even aware she exists.

*Mood スイング atmosphere: A good serious story with ランダム comedy moments, または a gag series with ランダム serious moments.

*Romance rule: Either all 愛 goes unrequited, the 作者 sinks all the ships, または there are no official pairs & no one hooks up at the end.

*Antihero cast: The ヒーローズ are not the best role モデル in town, nor the most moral people in the story.

*Preferred lack of ecchi または moe. Neither are mandatory, but some of my フレンズ find one または the other offensive/distasteful/cliche/doesn't understand why boobs are supposed to be funny/hates cutesy childish girly-girls with the intensity of 1000 suns.

*Genre shift: Early あなた are fooled into thinking it's a lighthearted series, then shit starts getting dark.

*1 または もっと見る ヒーローズ has a near-death experience.
*
*Group relations: Either they're super tight BFFs, または they all comically argue with eachother, like siblings または divorcees.

*Obligatory Creeper: A neutral または antagonistic character that s usually the last to die if they die at all. It could be an axe-crazy lolita, an adult-minded child who carries a weapon, a seemingly-incestuous blood relative, a weirdo mortician who might be a pedo, または a clown または doctor who get turned on risking their lives in a fight. likalaruku 投稿されました 4 分 前
