The Shounen Ai mangas I have read so far have almost just gay guys... It is just kind of weird. I wondered if there was some mangas of this genre with not just gay people involved because I didn't found any... You just already know the gays are going to get in a relationship... It is too predictable...

i am definitive not against gays or so...but i just can`t believe how many shonen ai manga there are.
the stories are often boring,predictable and mostly bad drawn in shoujo style.
i simply hate them...but why do they have to flood the release site with them?

Same way even if you read many shoujo and shounen, it's so clear right from volume 1 which guy and girl will get together anyway.

I think you should try mangas which are called "slashable" by Yaoi fans. They are technically not shounen-ai. They are either shoujo or shounen but with a very strong hint of shounen-ai. Or it just has two very guys who are very sweet to each other. It's also depend on your imagination too. If they are being sweet with each other but never anything more since that's not the way the story will go, then "slashable" is good for you.


Tokyo Babylon
Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike - This one is shounen-ai but you will see alot of other people.
Magician Brothers Syd and Lid
SAENAGI Ryou's mangas.
Shibutani-kun Tomo no Kai

Minna Ai no Seine
Ookiku Furikabutte
Teikoku Kyoudai - It's shounen-ai but you may never know until the end.
Vassalord
Yasei no Bara

License Series
After School Nightmare
One Thousand and One Nights
Banana Fish

There are a few more but I don't want to mention them here since I don't want non-yaoi fans to start pointing that them and say ew yaoi and don't even bother trying them out.


Yaoi is somewhat a sub genre of shoujo okay. Just think of it that way. And the only reason you see a lot of releases were because they were holiday releases. You can block yaoi and shounen-ai from appearing in your release list so your gentle eyes won't get hurt by them. And by replying back without a recommendation, you are spamming.

Self Portrait and maybe this topic can help a bit?

I don't really like slashable mangas. I prefer when there is love ... I already read Utopia of Homosexualtiy and I was quite surprised at the end.

And by the way, I will prefer is the story isn't just 1 volume. I like when it's a long a deep story .

Well thanks for the suggestions!

I really don't feel like writing and linking all the titles again so you can just try checking out what I wrote in my 2 posts here: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3291

One manga that i thought was a really good shounen-ai is Only the Ring Finger Knows... it's licensed... I thought it's one of the best in its class. Another one that I highly recommend is also Rin...
