Why are there so few shounen romance series with the MC being

Because japs have shit taste. they love it when MC gets punched through the door because generic slut didnt lock it for the millionth time

>>151710636
Because it's the journey that counts.

>>151710636
Stories need conflict. A romance based story needs romance based conflict, that inevitably can only be handled in two different ways. It's either "will they won't they" or it's, "they already did but now things are going bad". You can't have things be absolutely passive, that's not a story. You can shift the conflict to a different problem, but at that point you're no longer dealing with a romantic story, it is likely now a drama (for example see Clannad).
You can do a slice of life about romance, but that's not exactly a love story, more of a comedy with love life as a topic.

The conclusion I'm trying to illustrate here is that a love story that is 100% pure to the genre is going to be limiting, and the kind of "they're already dating" setting people lust after simply cannot work well within the genre. That is a territory for different types of stories.

Not being in a relationship naturally creates tension and you always end up rooting for the characters. Not to mention that the actual confession in the end is always really satisfying.
It's really all in the build up and the finale in my opinion.

This

Manga about relationships can work but the two partners need to be interesting and I need to care about them.

Tsurezure Children has that in spades.

Shounen manga are quite literally for little boys. Young boys (as in 4-11) don't even have sexual desire yet. They want women to be interested in them, as a status symbol but they don't actually want a relationship.

Because the target audience (including the author) usually isn't in a relationship and thus can't identify with someone like that.

I agree with this. Fantasy/Action/Sports anime can make it work because romance isn't the main conflict and any romantic drama can be naturally resolved without making the whole thing boring.

>Why are there so few shounen romance series with the MC being in a relationship from the start?
Shoujo that focus on girls often have the main guy in a relationship early on. Then the guy eventually finds the main girl and chooses her over the popular girl he's dating.

When it comes to shows aimed at guys but happen to have a love story, its usually told from the male perspective. So the MC is struggling to find a girl.

>>151713184

Yes, you can. Conflict is not necessary for a story.

>You can do a slice of life about romance, but that's not exactly a love story, more of a comedy with love life as a topic.
SoL =/= comedy. Bonnouji was an SoL without any real conflict, but that was absolutely a romance.

> the kind of "they're already dating" setting people lust after simply cannot work well within the genre
OP just supplied two examples, though.

You aren't wrong that the reason they do this stuff is because it supplies a conflict, but you're absolutely wrong that it's inevitable.

>>151711222
At the rate of like two chapters a year. It's also not that good, and I say that as a big Toume Kei fan. It started strong, and I like the characters and all, but it's just way too fucking stretched-out on the drama end.
