Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on yaoi or shounen-ai manga where the main character (bottom) has a cold, cool and tough/strong personality who isn't a push-over (is this too much to ask? laugh ).

Also if he is aware of the top's feelings, but doesn't feel the same way back / non-mutual love thus always rejecting him, (sorry, but would very much like it if they were not already in a relationship as that would kinda make my 2nd condition kinda void... ^_^;; )

Preferably if relationship was more light-hearted and comedic like Keep Out, Tokaido Hisame and O-guts.

Some examples of similar manga are:

Dolce
Fake
Gokujou no Koibito
Goraihou Gakuen e Youkoso!
Keep out (KISARAGI Hirotaka)
Kirai ja nai kedo
Love Neco
O-Guts!
The Tyrant Who Fall In Love
Tokaido HISAME
Totally Captivated
Zion no Koeda


(Umm... if you want further further examples and proof of how pathe- desperate I am, the type of relationship/character type I'm pretty much looking for in a nutshell is similar to: this (main chara: Germania), this (main chara: Roxas) and maybe this / this (main chara: Kyon . *blush* bigrazz )


Thanks.

If it's just shounen-ai, I don't think they should be labeled seme and uke. I seriously hate those names.

Try these:
Ano Kado wo Magatta Tokoro
Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yumewomiru (the guy's probably not cool but he fits your second condition)

Sorry. read both of those already. ^_^;;

I ended up using those terms due to lack of coming up with better words. I mean, if you know of any others but still very well known with the general community, I'm all ears. eyes

Crimson- Kinda, tough in the sense that he's a demon. xD
Double Call- The second couple, the uke's tough and cool headed
Double Cast- Not your oh so typical uke
Flowers-Not so much tough, but he's cool headed, and rejects the seme's advances
Kimi wo Mukaeni- Highly recommended, the second couple (the uke) meets what you're looking for.
Nanahikari
[m]Wild Rose[/m]-Cool headed, and tough in a sense that he's a manbeast. XD

Kyah Cat, I'm reading or have read all you've listed~^-^
And your lists! eek I'll be stalking them for a while, hope you don't mind. bigrazz

I'll add more as I remember....

Thanks so much Luna!
There's a lot of new titles I haven't heard before~ But I have read Nanahikari and Wild Rose before, for some reason, it didn't seem like they were really rejecting the guy so that wasn't really what I was looking for. ^_^;;

Noooo... Don't stalk me, I have weird reading tastes!!! Not to mention, my list lists are totally messed up. laugh
But I don't really mind~ bigrazz

Definitely Cold - Zettaireido no Koibitotachi.
Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yumewomiru maybe?
Future Lovers II? So good...
Usotsuki na Kimi no Toriko
Darenimo Aisarenai erm, maybe?
Doushitemo Furetakunai you've probably read it, but it's really good.
Tsukiya
Kinou Nani Tabeta?


I'll try looking up for more.
It's a good request.
I like this type also. :3

Akanai Tobira (story #5)
Arashi no Ato
Boku no Shiru Anata no Hanashi
Honenuki ni Saretai
Ichigenme wa Yaruki no Minpou
Junai no Seinen
Koi ga Bokura wo Yurusu Hani
Lovers and Souls
Negai Kanae Tamae
Renai Tsuu
Signal
Wonderful Life

I also recall a manga about an airline steward who is really cold to his lover. The mangaka died of cancer. If anyone remembers it, that would also be a good example.

No shounen-ai titles are on my list because I do not want to assume that a character will take on an uke/seme role.

The mangaka who died of cancer was KAYAMA Yumi, I think. But I don't know which title of hers is about the airline steward.

The only one I can think of at the moment is Renai Control by Hasukawa Ai =)

Thanks so much everybody~ biggrin
also a note, I edited my first post for further information.

@Swan
I have read Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yumewomiru and Tsukiya before, but no offense, I kinda gave up on Cold because I disliked how the main character didn't really care about who he slept with... -_-
Everything except for Usotsuki na Kimi no Toriko, Future Lovers II and Darenimo Aisarenai I've already had on my list before. Although FL and DA don't really appeal to me beacause it seems like the main couple already go together, UnKnT seems really interesting.

Glad you like this type of pairing too~ eyes

@Odette, ai-chan
I have read Renai Tsuu and Koi ga Bokura wo Yurusu Hani before, while Wonderful Life is already on my wish list. But everything else is pretty new to me!~ cool

Renai Junkie has an unexpected uke.
Yellow is a really good one. I love the uke.

Renai Shinan -- There's something very sweet and anti-cliche about this couple. I like the other mangas by this author as well.
