Hello guys. smile
I have some requests.

Firstly, I'm trying to find shoujo/josei manga with yaoi-standard art. Not yaoi but your typical straight man-woman romance. What I mean by 'yaoi-standard' art is those super bishounens most yaoi usually have. laugh

For example, Kawaii Akuma's art style but with a man-woman romance instead of yaoi. To me, this kind of art style is beautiful and I don't see a lot of shoujo/josei romance with this kind of art style. Or maybe I haven't really seen much. O.O Hmm, I also know that some yaoi/shounen-ai mangaka like Shouto Aya have some straight romance works. Please enlighten me. Thank you. ^^

Well, on a side note, I have this other request.
I'm also finding romance manga where it revolves around a straight character and a gay character. Male and female. The roles can be vice versa. The female or male can be gay but the opposite gender(other party) has to be straight. In the end, the gay character becomes straight or bisexual because she/he fell in love with the straight character. Like their sexual orientation changes or something. Preferably shoujo or josei but shounen and seinen is fine.

Like Venus wa Kataomoi and Atashi wa Bambi. <Love rivals at first. laugh

Edit: I have tried from the 'LGBT Character in a Non-Yaoi/Yuri Manga' but please recommend still.

Hmmm... I can list some, but I don't know if the art will be to your liking... the ones with the prettier/gorgeous guys (that I find pretty attractive) are:

Hapi Mari -- yes... I'm drooling over Hokuto at the moment...
Kimi wa Pet -- a-typical, yet clean art... the guys do look pretty good.
Kuro Bara Alice -- ohohohohoho... Dimitri...
Suki-tte Ii na yo -- this art is very different... the guys have super trendy (Asian) hair...
Mask - Kamen no Jouji and Sensei, Mou Ichido... -- the guy is pretty yummy too...
Yuru Koi? If you think he's pretty attractive, Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei's male lead has a trademark smirk. (teeheehee)
Bus Hashiru -- I like YUMEKA Sumomo's art.
Matryoshka!! OH! And Akai Michi -- look at that COVER.

I would suggest Anata ni Hana o Sasagemashou http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=50193
for yaoi-like art (I think this is what yaoi-standard art is lol)
Other suggestions would be
>The Sleepy Residents of Birdcage Manor http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=35853
>100% perfect girl http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=6633
>Song of the Doll http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=53938
>Magnolia http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=55010

Actually you can just see my other post here for more bishies lol: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=28675

and for your other request I would say Houou Gakuen Misoragumi http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=23005

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Seconded. This would be my first choice as well. Also others by the mangaka, ENJOUJI Maki

This is more difficult than it should be. I can think of lots of manga with yaoi-worthy guys, but they're not romance. Here goes:

Midnight Secretary
Chiyou yo Hana yo and others by YOSHIHARA Yuki
It's Not Like That, Darling
Suki ni Naru Made Matte and others by SHIMAKI Ako
Hot Gimmick
Beauty is the Beast
Love So Life
Lovenista
Akuma na Eros by SHINJO Mayu. Her plots can be hard to take, but her guys are hot (even if they all look alike). I read this one as a comedy and thought it was hysterical.
Watashi no Ookami-san
Mana
Mars
Desire Climax
Tokyo Crazy Paradise and her Skip Beat (haven't read that yet)
Gokusen not much of a romance, and most of the characters are assertively ugly, but Shin is very cute, and Yankumi's granddad is a GILF.
Provence also The One (haven't read that one either)
Can't Lose You

Omg that's a lot of manga there. eek
Thanks. ^^

@hobbitelf518:
I've read Hapi Mari and I love the series. Hokuto is just ♥.♥ Seen Kimi wa Pet and Sukitte Ii na yo. Hmm...the other series look good as well and I think I haven't seen/touched them yet. Thank you for keeping me busy. laugh

@happyginger100:
Though it doesn't look like it has romance, I will give it a try as well. Thank you. ^^

@CLouDFaeRie:
I've read them all except Song of the Doll. Ooh...your thread has a lot of suggestions. I will be checking them out, thank you. smile

@scarletrhodelia:
Hmm...I've read most of them. Thank you for the links to some threads. ^^

I don't think I saw these on any of your lists, though I may have missed some:

Blood+ A
Bride of the Water God
Hakushaku to Yousei
Kaiyorihito Kaiyorishiki - not romance, though
Sarashi Asobi
Savage Garden - fits both criteria, in a way (two of the love interests are either gay or bi)

Check out these artists:

Fujiwara Kaoru
Yokobaba Ryo
Yumeka Sumomo
