Vanitas no Carte is good but the romance is so annoying I wanted to drop it, therefore I didn't buy the manga. Anyway, someone recommended me this story and said it's good. I wanted to try it but I'm hesitant. I know it is tag as shounen like vnc, but I want to make sure. So can someone tell me if this, Pandora Hearts doesn't have romance or no forced and random romance in it. Because if there's none, I'll definitely read it and buy the manga. But if it's like vnc, I'll pass.

Vanitas no Carte romance annoys me too. Pandora Hearts has also romance, a little random pairings too tbh, but not annoying and actually cute. Better than vnc.

The author stated in the last the guidebook that Oz’s and Alice’s relationship was platonic so they don’t really count. (Link to the interview if you would like to see it: https://lilyginnyblack.tumblr.com/post/123113949145/i-am-screaming-an-excerpt-from). Otherwise, the only canon pairing is Ada and Vincent but they’re more of a side couple.

Oh, and Echo has a crush on Oz but that’s about it.

Pandora Hearts is worth checking out, such a well written story and the peaks are insanely high.

Same here. I'm not fond of the romance in Vanitas no Carte either, so I dropped the manga and decided to just stick to watching the anime first. Pandora Hearts is definitely better and that's pretty much the general consensus. There's no annoying romance in Pandora Hearts. Well, tbh there're a few pairings that are toxic and uncomfortable, but it's not among any of the main characters and the romance doesn't feel nearly as forced so it shouldn't be a problem.

Comparing a finished manga with an incomplete one and both being the works of the same author...
Seriously?
This isnt a fair comparison

@234Mannan People literally calls an unfinished story the GREATEST manga of all time like Berserk fans shit on other manga with an ending then why can't we compare them though

@234Mannan not a big deal, u can but berserk has considerable amount of chapters, it's a very very long unfinished story,, similarly HxH, Nana etc.....

Just like how Boruto's actually character development story has just begun, there were a lot of flaws in the og Boruto but now the 2 Vortex seems to get better a lot.

Same way, the story of VNC seems to stretch a bit longer than Pandora Hearts, so let's wait and see, the art has already improved tremendously, let's see what the future has got in store for us.
It might get even better who knows, so it's a bit little early to compare.

@Feitan_exe Thats their problem in all honesty... Berserk to be perfecty honest is the epitome of edgyniness that attracts the delusional Misogynists(I literally had to drop after 4 vols)... But I let it slide mostly.
But my main point generally was that, Both are by same authors and are not exactly complete. Them being from different authors could have been something but not the case and in addition its not exactly even half way through. Vanitas is better in some aspects so far(Art, World building and the setup arcs) so there is a fair chance of it being better but the plot of PH is def very hard to surpass imo.

Depends. Pandora's story telling was a mess. It was so hard to understand, even incomprehensible at times. It's a killer of reading enjoyment. In this regard Vanitas is better by landslide. Plot, worldbuilding? While Vanitas is fascinating in these, it cannot hold a candle to Pandora. Pandora has the most unique theme and execution I've ever seen. But at the end of the day I'm someone who cares about the reading enjoyment the most. So I'd say Vanitas.
