Series which were officially licensed by an English publisher, but were ultimately left incomplete (or not even released). This isn't a very comprehensive list (and older licenses are probably underrepresented), but I aimed to have a variety of examples across different publishers.

Thanks to ertiis for suggestions!
& let me know if there's an error or any suggestions of what to add.

*doesn't include fully released series that went out of print, or series that were published as compilations (ex. Oishinbo, Golgo 13), or license rescues

Potential series: Freezing

Enjoy these diverse worlds and cute romances from Weekly Shonen Magazine.

Good games to play after read

This list contains only completed lesser known battle shounen manga (so no Jojo, Bleach, FMA and similar stuff). I also excluded manga that may have some battles but are primarily other genre, like comedy (Sket Dance) or survival (Imawa no Kuni no Alice).
I rated all of the following manga 7 or higher.

Aka the Mangaka of a million names because they feel like creating a new pen-name everytime they do something lol. Pen-names are the following:

Tadashi Agi
Seimaru Amagi
Yuma Ando
Yuya Aoki
Joji Arimori
Hiroaki Igano
Ryo Ryumon

Not on MAL:
Gakkou no Kowai Uwasa - Under Tadashi Agi
Psycho Doctor - Under Tadashi Agi
Kaitou Ruban - Under Tadashi Agi
Onikawa to Ushikawa: Edge of the World - Under Yuya Aoki
Snow Dolphin - Under Joji Arimori
Kaze no Kaminari

Can't Include:
Fire Emblem Fates (Videogame)
Lady Napoleon (ONA)

I've gone into MAL's database to find as many of these as I can, with some general criteria for making the list:
- Should have at least 20 volumes or 100 episodes in total.
- Should be aimed towards fans of battle shounen. However, it does not necessarily need to have the Shounen tag. This is very subjective, so I may have left out some legitimate series with that.
- Not including series that are mostly slice of life or that sort of thing.
- Not including Delinquent or Martial Arts series for the most part, as they can practically make up their own genre. Some exceptions though.
- Not including super obscure manga with very little/unreliable info about them.
- Sequels are counted with the original, so Boruto is included with Naruto for example.
