Oda tries to make OP different so it may not end up like that romance wise.
So far we had plenty of "romance":
Usopp & Kaya,
Rogue and Roger
Pudding and BM
And Luffy I believe says he doesn't want to get married.

The main romance was AFWUL, it had it's moments like Azuki coming to Mashiro in the hospital and supports him, but it never really evolves and they act like stupid awkward teenagers about this crap at times, it should be more developed since its the driving force for one of the main characters.
Hiromaru and Aoki romance was the best just due to Hiromaru being hopeless in love with her and his wack antics with his editor to try and impress her.
Kaya & Takagi romance was good, but Kaya really turns into just a support wife character after that, so much so she appears on the final volume with a vacuum when she was a bit more than that earlier in the series.

Yeah, I'd agree with that somewhat, remembering the manga. The main romance didn't really have much to it at all, even with good moments here and there. It's a bit of a problem for me since it's the driving force of the main character throughout the manga. The other romances are fine, but they could have had something to them.
Thank god i'm not the only that hates the romance i love the manga battles and the side characaters but the main romance is cringe though i do love the take that at idols culture.
The side romance, i think it was a romance can't remember i remember liking because one of the characters were hilarious, the gag manga guy also

Yep. Luffy truly wants to live that pirate life.
Some Jump series have good romance, but, like...real people would actually get together and start dating in that situation. That's what a normal human beings do. But not so in Shounen Jump, there's always something weird going on, sometimes reasonable, often stupid. It'll never happen unless the series ends, and it just gets so tiresome.
(not counting timeskip stuff like Dragonball, not that they have terribly well-established romance anyway)

This and Dragon Ball are the way to do it.
Though people will still lose their shit if Nami or Boa don't end up with Luffy.

Well I mean
Okuyasu is his girlfriend practically.
Shonen manga definitely has a problem with romances, especially battle manga. It's pretty annoying when two characters like each other and they take forever to talk about it, often not until the end of the series. Like, just fucking go out already! That's what makes me like how Yu Yu Hakusho handles it. Yusuke and Keiko were pretty much a thing since the beginning of the series, and they actually talk about shit.
Hopefully MHA doesn't fall into the same trap as Naruto and Bleach. But at least the MC in that series isn't completely oblivious like Naruto or Ichigo.

Not to mention Yusuke poking Keiko's ass during the Dark Tournament. Everybody knows they like each other, them two just don't know on what level though.
This is the most annoying thing, just have them hook up and then guess what...don't adress it aside from a line or 2 every so often.

Maybe this is just my nostalgia talking, but I remember Rurouni Kenshin handling romance decently.
Yeah, YYH and Kenshin did it near completely right. But they still didn't actually go through with it completely until the end, right?
I'm pretty sure it's gonna come up in the next arc, so we'll find out within the next few months, I guess.
...though it's not gonna come up until season three of the anime.
On one hand, My Hero Academia has an extremely clear-cut romance, is written by a guy who could write it well, and who has given every indication that he'd be willing to do it. On the other hand...there's nearly every other shounen manga ever made. I give it a 50/50 chance.

I sometimes wonder if all this "ship-teasing" crap is simply because most authors would have no idea how to deal with with actual romance.

Even Saito was married, that reveal was hilarious.
We never saw the wife right?

Yeah they both more or less follow the same path where the Protag and main girl are clearly interested in each other, the rest of the cast pretty much treat them like a couple, but they don't "officially" hook up until the very end. FullMetal Alchemist follows that method too with Ed and Winry.
Gintama mostly uses romance for jokes.
Nah. Just mentioned.

Even Yahiko got a girlfriend. Seriously, everyone except for Sanosuke and Megumi got a hook up in that series.
That could be it, hence the ship teasing, could be a way to keep certain type of fans engaged or Shonen writers suck at developing romance

You just know she's a helluva woman for being with Saito.

Yes Hajime Saito is actually a real person. His character name is in some other show I can't remember the name of, it's trash tier though.
Yep.

That doesn't look like Norio Wakamoto.

Part 3 is the best part of jojo, I'd watch an infinite number of episodes with that cast
Does Norio Wakamoto voice Nigel Thornberry in the Japanese dub of that show, if it exists?
Are you saying your future wife/girlfriend didn't magically teleport naked into your bathtub while you were in it?

So much this
though the villain would probably prefer to be in the third best anime.

SMASHING.
Also Nigel aside, I could never decide if I liked The Wild Thornberrys.
It's one of those cartoons I watched as a kid I can't remember anything about.

The only good Jobro in Part 2 is pretty much Stroheim. Part 4 has a much better cast than Part 2. Part 2 for the most part is only loved as much as it is cause it's propped up by Joseph, that and it's bat shit as fuck.
Which is funny seeing as Nick was trying to push it at the time.
