The problem with shounen romance is that most of them spend years teasing stuff then end the moment the romance actually starts.

Bakuman had better romance than that

I agree, i haven't read the manga but i watched the anime and my god, i disliked how every episode was like ''Takeo may look like a Gorrila but he can do this'', i heard the anime was faithful to the manga so i never bothered to pick it up, the only character i was interested in more was Suna, he was a bro, i was more looking forward to his romance, but sadly he had only eyes for Takeo.

¬¬ There's no way...

Tomohiro Yagi (Iron Knight, Red Sprite) is publishing a manga called Majin no Garudo!, and it 4th volume will come out in February? Look, I read his name here and remembered:

Isn't the same Tomohiro Yagi, right? Can't be!

This. Or worse they tease a pairing hard and then they don't make it canon, instead we have a timeskip with random people getting together left and right without seeing how they got to that point.

Its a mistake from jump site. Mangaka name is Ei Andô.

 

[Halloween]

I think everyone enjoys a good romance from time to time.

I don't. The genre has no appeal to me whatsoever. Same with gag/comedy series. Bakuman and The Promised Neverland are the only two series I've loved that go against my usual tastes.

 

[Silverblade]

Bakuman's """"romance"""" was though to be the lowest point of Ohba Tsugumi's writing career.

Then he went and wrote Platinum End.

Oh, I see. Thank you.

 

[Leoat12]

If you want THE romance series I recommend Ore Monogatari. There's no way a jump romcom can beat it.

Nah, it is Shoujo and Shoujo is boring. XD

The best one I'm reading right now is Horimiya and Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san.

There's something really ironic about saying shojo sucks and then recommending a series in GFantasy.

 

[tirakai]

If you think Takagi is a romance series then you have absolutely no clue what romance actually is.

 

[Mammo]

"it have cute girls, it's a masterpiece"

-sharkbait's bizarro

 

[SkerllyFC]

3 series that can be mentioned as good romcoms or romance series from JUMP are:
Kimagure Orange Road
I´s
Video Girl Ai

So those stupid theories that a romance series can´t work are basically bull****. By the way did anyone read the Magical Patissiere Kosaki-chan manga? As its author is gonna do the series that is being released this week, I think is more entertaining than Nisekoi. Some 4th wall breaks and mockery to the Magical Girl genre, and the ecchi was mostly part of the joke

 

[Mammo]

I didn't say they don't work, I said it's rare and hard that you will find a good one

listing 3 out of hundreds titles in the 50 years of publishing of jump just confirms my theory buddy

 

[savethecat]

What Battle Shonen series do you guys think handled Romance the best?

Imo Yu Yu Hakusho did the best job with its romance

 

[Mammo]

ygo, Joey and Tristan = goat otp

serious answer: kenshin

 

[savethecat]

So can you not get the $9.99 Jump Subscription if you're already a member?

I only have a monthly sub, and it expires in a couple days

 

[Bomber D Rufi]

I think everyone enjoys a good romance from time to time. I'm interested in them but not as much as battle/action shonens. For me battle/action > romance/harem/ecchi > drama/psychological. I wish more shonens go the DBZ route and have their pairings become canon in-series so it's no dumb ship wars, no end of series drama which usually leads to bad progression/glued together romance (Narutoooooooooo) or in general things that block you from the main plot. But it's rare and will forever continue to be rare.

I don't enjoy romance ever. In fact I usually prefer shounen because for the most part they shun romance too. I will admit watching breakdowns over ship wars is kind of hilarious even though I find shipping itself pointless.

 

[tirakai]

Speaking of shipping wars, today's english jump has the Kishimoto Jump Festa interview and he talks about narutoxsakura never having been intended at any point (apparently she wasn't even meant to be a major central character at first, instead only being about the level of Shikamaru and Kiba).
