Higurashi has...

Spoiler for Higurashi:

A yakuza boss girl, a girl with an disease that makes her insane, a loli whose magic lets her relive a certain time over and over, a loli whose uncle is abusive, her brother who is a murderer and was kidnapped, another loli in Miko attire who is apparently a god, and the yakuza boss girl's sister, who also goes insane.

Kanon has in a magical city:
A fox whose spirit lets it live as a human for a short time, a girl with an extended disease, a girl in a coma whose spirit is wandering through a "dream", a girl whose previous experiences recreate demons, and a cousin.

He just feels more "real" than the standard seinan-romance hero.

Ichigo 100% is far from seinen.
You may have mixed it up a bit, since seinen romance (if it can be called "seinen") is very different from shounen romance.
