Honestly, there isn't much romance between Yu and Shinoa either. The only thing that puts them together romantically is Shinoa's crush on Yu. If the creation team can develop their relationship more and give them some actual chemistry, I might support their relationship more. For now, them being together romantically just comes off as weird to me.

The only couple in the Vampire Reign manga that really has a romantic flare might be Kureto and Aoi since they kissed once, but even that development isn't much. Mika and Krul also kissed once.

Even in the Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen light novels in which Guren's relationship with Mahiru plays a big role, there is hardly any romance other than the fact they were crushing on each other since childhood and had sex once. These two are the most canon couple in the whole series and can't be denied, but, even so, they had just about zippo romance between them.

I feel that anyone who is focused on the romance aspects of this series might consider just giving up. Romance is not Takaya Kagami's strong suit in this series, no matter which pairing you support.
