Absolutely. Generally with Shonen, protagonists tend to be idiots, which is frustrating.

I've started reading Korean manhwa mostly now, because their protagonists tend to be competent adults.

I've only enjoyed a few romance titles, and they're all older now so I don't know if they still hold up. My fav was Lovely Complex. They actually acted like people their age might act, with a little leeway for comedic overreacting.

Idk if you would consider a Silent Voice to be a romance, but that manga was god tier.
