I'm looking for school life, slice of life, or historical shounen-ai. No feminine or hyper masculine characters, please. I like them as normal as possible.

Like Birthday (still my favorite shounen-ai) or Kagi (the protagonist is a bit feminine, not too much though). Complex is a good example too.

I've checked your reading list and I noticed that you don't have:

Seven Days - Monday→Thursday

One of my FAVORITE shounen-ai's so far. If you haven't read it yet, you should check it out. It should fit the school life, slice of life, and as normal as possible part. 😀

The art's very nice as well. 😃

Slice of life Shounen-ai thread^^

Mmm, they might appear kinda feminine, but not wimpy? :3

For historical there's Golden Days. Not much shounen-ai there so far though.
Jadou - Tenmou Yatan- more fantasy than historical but very nice.
Tsukiya is very pretty.
Mangetsu Monogatari funny.
Netsuno Ori

Yumeka Sumomo: (for slice of life as wel :3)
Tengujin
Mi to Shounen
Hoshi yo Oka yo Fuyu no Ao yo

Some older shounen ai like:
Kaze to Ki no Uta, Poe no Ichizoku (mm, kinda feminine is looks though?)

How about Camera Camera Camera? It's got the most normal-acting and looking characters I've seen in BL, and it's not bad in my opinion. ^^ It's been liscensed by June.

If you don't mind OEL, I hear Off*Beat is pretty good. And one of my favorites (although the art is very webcomic) is Honeydew Syndrome because it feels so realistic and true-to-life.

For historical:
A night of a thousand dreams (very good, but the main character is slightly feminine since he's based on a woman's character)
Koori no mamono no monogatari (it's also fantasy but definately worth reading)
Flower of Destiny
Cantarella
Macaroni (set in the west)

Demian Syndrome for school life.

For school life/ slice of life, how about Dousaibou Seibutsu? It's short and sweet 😀
Or anything by MISHIMA Kazuhiko (though her characterization could be a bit exaggerated... they're fun reads, nevertheless)
or Junjou Romantica, particularly the side stories...

Anything by MIYAMOTO Kano, FUJIYAMA Hyouta, SUZUKI Tsuta, or Doushitemo Furetakunai by YONEDA Kou.

Miyamoto-sensei is prolific; you might start with her short story collections Make Me Happy and Name of Love, then move on to her Hydra and Rules series.
