Any Good Shounen Anime or Manga?

Question

I'm in the mood for anime and manga, but I haven't been able to find any new ones that I like. I guess I'm very picky when choosing so finding some that I like might be a problem. Anyway, here's a list of things that I require in a manga/anime:

1. It has to have a lot of action and a good plot.
2. I'd like the main character to be male. (Girls annoy me for some reason)
3. Can't be a harem (really don't like girls)
4. Nor do I like: horror, ecchi, yuri, or shoujo-ai
5. It doesn't matter how long it is; I'd actually prefer it to take me awhile to finish it.
6. I don't really want a lot of romance.

Another thing: I'm very fond of sports manga/anime right now.

That's about it. Told ya I was picky. (btw I don't know what my problem is with girls because I'm a girl)

Here's a list of anime/manga I've already read/watched:

-Naruto
-Bleach
-One Piece
-FMA
-Big Windup!
-D. Gray Man
-InuYasha
-Saiyuki
-Fairy Tail

Thanks in advance. :)

Haha yeah I'm a chick to and girls tend to annoy me as well ^ ^. K there not all shounen, but I promise you that there worth your time:

Manga:
Count Cain-God Child; Link: http://www.mangareader.net/1573-48793-1/count-cain-godchild/chapter-1.html
Are You Alice?; Link: http://manga.bleachexile.com/are-you-alice.html
Doll: IC in a Doll; Link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/doll_ic_in_a_doll/
The Embalmer; Link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_embalmer/
Beautiful people; Link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/beautiful_people/ ( really any manga by Mihara Mitsukazu is great and I enjoyed all of her works, but they sometimes have horror and a pinch or romance in them, sorry :-/)
Liar Game; Link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/liar_game/ (one of my faves)
Monochrome Myst; Link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/monochrome_myst/
Karneval; Link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/karneval/ (has horror here and there in it but there's also comedy, the story is great, the artwork is amazing, and there's plenty of action in it + there's no romance [the story would be yaoi if there was any since most of the characters in the story are men] This is also one of my faves <3)
Cheese in a Trap; Link: http://webtoonlive.com/description/Cheese%20in%20the%20Trap/ (it's one of those LMAO type of stories once you get into it + the main character is a girl but she's kind of a tomboy [like me] and the romance in the story is mostly with the side characters [and no it's not that corny shoujo type of love or perverted either] It's one of my faves as well)
Di[e]ce; Link: http://www.mangareader.net/979-38643-1/diece/chapter-1.html (I know that I have allot of faves but this is yet another one of them)

I'm into the psychological/ comedy/ mystery/ horror (but not gory) type of manga, so I don't know whether you'll enjoy these or not, but I hope that you do :-).

Anime:
Time of Eve (it's really sweet)
Cowboy Bebop
Princess Jellyfish ( Warning: has romance but it's pretty funny and is extremely cute XD!)

And WALA! There is my amazing list of anime that I recommend to you. Sorry that it's not longer, but I don't watch TV all that often.

Watch Trinity Blood, it meets all 6 of your standards. Actually, read the manga before you watch the anime though, it's waaaaayyyyyyy better.
