Not that I don't love effiminate men but after reading Zippy Ziggy I'd like ~manliness~

Okay anyway I'm looking for romance with guys that look like guys XD *But not pretty guys, I don't mind if they're attractive though (actually I'd prefer them handsome...not someone that looked like they came from Love Hina) :3
And if this just can't be found, super manly guys in shoujo, perhaphs even overcompensating ones

Example:
The guy pictured above is good
Hirata from Jun'ai Tokko Taicho is very nice (a little on the prettier side but not much)
The guy in otomen while not too girly is too pretty.so I'm gonna say no.
If you know what heechul or bou look like. Yeah no guys that can be mistaken as girls >3<

I'd prefer shoujo because I've read shounen with guys that look like guys

When you say "guys who look like guys", do you have an age range that you want them to look like? Are guys who look younger but still sorta scary the right thing? For example, Leo in Beast Master? Or would they need to be/look older (like Kurogane in Tsubasa? (I know Tsubasa is shounen.)

Do they have to be 'leading' males? There's Casanoda in Ouran High School Host Club, but he's a minor character who occasionally re-occurs. You could probably find a few shoujo manga with stereotypical 'yakuza' types in them, though they might not be leading characters. (Wild Ones comes to mind. The lead guys are bishies, though.)

That might narrow things down some.

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

hmm well Leo is slightly on the pretty side but I guess he's scruffy enough to work XD But either would work because I'm guessing there aren't that many unpretty men in shoujo :[ Not a real age range, as long as the manga is good.

Well I'd prefer main characters but if they play a major reoccuring role I could live with that and omg I love Casanoda <3 And wildones they're such small characters :'[

Meteor Methuselah? He's manly... Sort of~
And eye candy nontheless.

Ludwig Kakumei? This guy is... Well... Hard to say~ He dresses like some sort of drug queen, but loves huge breasts...
[a]kaori yuki[/a] does interesting men.

Masca the demon guy fits your request I think...
Kiss.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Ohmagosh, that's a hard one.

Oresama Teacher Well...they're not dazzling...lol
Matsuri Special The second love interest fits

edit: Matsuri special is under shounen...again. Earlier this week it was under shojo.

Non-pretty guys in shoujo? Blasphemy!

There's a couple I can think of...
Detective Orcot of Petshop of Horrors wouldn't be mistaken for a girl...but the drawing style makes all the characters look kind of feminine...the manga is episodic, some episodes involve love stories
Petro (#1 inquisitor) of Trinity Blood isn't really a frequently occuring character, but he does make multiple appearences, Tres isn't very feminine either, but it's action shoujo, not much romance
Ryuji from Tokyo Crazy Paradise looks not really too feminine, but still might too pretty but your standards, the story is romance+action

I'm also thinking maybe Heaven!!

All of the manga from Shinjo Mayu but there almost all smutty or mature

I think anything by Matsumoto Tomo. She likes broad shoulders. And, hm, Motomi Kyousuke's other works, I suppose.

A Perfect Day for Love Letters - There is one in the first volume. I can't remember which chapter. Highly recommended.
Beauty Is the Beast
Dengeki Daisy
Good Father
H2O
Love at First Sight - FYI, the pretty boy in the picture is not the male lead.
Masca

Aniki wa Tsunayoshi! Manly, swearing, occasionally scruffy, loves-porn type of older step brother who is the main love interest. He sounds horrid but is actually a darling, has a really good heart and is very protective of his "little sister". And the manga is now completely scanlated too! Enjoy! (If you don't mind incest that is. Lol.)

Hokuto from Hapi Mari -- manly and very handsome

adding [m]Junai Tokko Taichou[/m] - manly and funny
