Have you read Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku yet? I think it does it well from the chapters I've read.

What do you mean by "blend well" ?
Do you mean that the manga itself is not actually supposed to be a romance themed (as the main genre), yet the romance aspect is beautifully done?
Because if the genre itself is romance, then the romance should be the main course, not the sauce, right?

Let me propose the following, which I assume you have yet to read and are not romcoms (even though they have the comedy tag):
Already Husband and Wife
Another great straight couple
Kodomo no Jikan

I'm going to say Fist of the North Star to be the oddball. It's more about love in the end, but same thing. Kenshiro goes on big journey to save his lady, thinks his lady's dead, finds new purpose in protecting others, figures out lady is alive, thinks she dies again, ends up living nice with her for the next 5 years before she dies of an illness, goes on to reunite with old friends, kill evil family, train his nephew in his martial art, abandons the nephew and gets his brain scrambled by old friend who tries to get him and another friend of his together, but he ends up getting them both together right as the series ends.
Love is indeed a hurricane

Yup I think you're right to my view

Ok, so I'm not sure if you can call these as "blends well".
These are just a few titles which I think romance is not the main point (although MangaDex tags some as such),
but when the romance happens, I think "aw, that's cute, I like that"

- Angel Densetsu
The main theme is comedy and delinquent. I like the romance slapstick comedy there because it fits the absurdity of the characters and the situation depicted. If you can handle the artsyle that is.

- Baby Steps
The main theme is school and sport, and with a female main character presents, romance plot is always expected. But I like the no-nonsense romance and confessions, relationships grow as encounters increase, rejections and rivals are handled like how a normal people would. And that the romance is not the main point, it is actually used as a plot device: use romance as a motivation

- Kemono Jihen
There is just one instance of romance (That is if you can call it romance as it is still borderline between like/love or just simply admiration). But I think that was cute.

- Kono Oto Tomare!
I'm hesitant to put this because, well, the theme is school, so again, romance is obviously expected. But since the main theme is the music, there's no unnecessary side romance plots (so far). Straight up romance, realization, acceptance, now back to music.

There are also other titles where I have high hopes that the romance will be quietly brewed in the background, like Magus of the Library

Blue Box fits well with your request. While romance is the main genre, it also focus on how our MC n Heroine pursue their high school sport career (badminton n basketball) without overshadowing the romance. There r even good romance for side characters.

definitely not one punch man manga
