    Hi, I'm looking for shounen or sport mangas with little romance and no harem. I don't mind if it has a bit of romance, as long as it's not focused on that, and the romance won't disturb the overall plot. Stories with a clever MC with great scheming ability is a plus.
    Don't recommend any mainstream ones please (OP, Naruto, Gintama, OPM, haikyuu, KnB, Hajime no Ippo, etc etc), most likely I've read all of them. Thank you!

    One Outs - although this doesn't have any romance; highly recommended still.

    Shounen would be Kimetsu no Yaiba and The Promised Neverland
    Both are still new and I recommend Kimetsu but I don't know if Neverland is shounen since it is quite dark but still good.
    I don't know if they are already mainstream since no one is talking much about them

    Most of what I would recommend has already been suggested but Full Drive is a newish shounen sports manga about table tennis. It's okay so I would ask to check that out.

    I'm a big fan of Kimetsu no Yaiba it's one of my new favourite series and I love how it doesn't follow the usual shounen formulas although the recent chapters have been a bit too close to that.

    does Akagi count? it's mahjong. really tense.
    there's Umisho, but I don't know if it's harem. it's been so long since I read it. swimming.
    also, Takkoku. comedy table tennis.

    EDIT: ah, both umisho and takkoku have a lot of romance. I totally forgot.
