Although my glorious king, Rokuhira Chihiro (the MC), might not be the most OP character in Kagurabachi (peak fiction), he is DEFINITELY the most nonchalant + stoic of the cast, BUT he also has a PERSONALITY outside of his nonchalance. Kagurabachi as a whole also might not be the most stress-free dark fantasy, action shounen manga, but it sure is one of the best new-gen manga! It has a great plot with an albeit more slow-burn but well-written pacing and world-building, realistically written and interesting characters with cool designs, GORGEOUS ART that gets better and better with each new chapter, the panelling and composition is movie-like AND THERE IS NO ROMANCE, ZERO FANSERVICE AND ABSOLUTELY NO SEXUALISATION, ESPECIALLY OF IT'S FEMALE CAST!! GO READ IT NOW!!!

Also not sure if these have the type of MC you're looking for, but these shounen/seinen mangas are also pretty good:

Have you read any of these?

Highly recommend The Player Hides His Past, its sort of comedy and there's barely any romance (literally almost none)
