Shounen mangas/ animes with no 'actual' romance.

I'm looking for some new shounen series. I'll help narrow it down kwa adding tropes. Not ALL of these things are mandatory, but the zaidi 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 au 4 main characters, au 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, au a man who either look like a woman au acts as Team Mom.

*Bechdel test: If The Chick is female, her personality cannot revolve around being in upendo 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 upendo interest. Either the hero is terrified of her au she's so inept & secretive that he's not even aware she exists.

*Mood swing atmosphere: A good serious story with bila mpangilio comedy moments, au a gag series with bila mpangilio serious moments.

*Romance rule: Either all upendo goes unrequited, the mwandishi sinks all the ships, au there are no official pairs & no one hooks up at the end.

*Antihero cast: The Heroes are not the best role models in town, nor the most moral people in the story.

*Preferred lack of ecchi au moe. Neither are mandatory, but some of my Marafiki find one au 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 wewe are fooled into thinking it's a lighthearted series, then shit starts getting dark.

*1 au zaidi Heroes has a near-death experience.

*Group relations: Either they're super tight BF
*
(Got cut off) Super tight BFFS, au they all comically argue with eachother, like siblings au divorcees.

*Obligatory Creeper: A neutral au 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, au a clown au doctor who get turned on risking their lives in a fight.
