I am looking for a manga that has two main characters with a very close friendship. I've looked at other forums, but almost all of the responses aren't exactly what I'm looking for.... I want the main characters to be JUST FRIENDS, but very close ones. I don't mind romance, as long as it is not between the two friends and does not harm their friendship. I don't mind if there are situations where the characters are so close that they get mistaken for a couple, though. I also don't care what gender the two friends are... It could be boy x boy, boy x girl, or girl x girl. No hentai or ecchi please!

Adekan. - i dont think they are close yet, but it look like it is heading that way.
Dorohedoro. - both the protagonists and antagonists have great platonic relationship. have sketchy art and plentiful gore though.
Kyou Kara Ore Wa - very close friends, willing to go to great lenghts for each other. the last event is the best.
Gangsta - this i quite new, so i dont know how close they are. but pretty good, i think.

you know what, I am quite surprised i cant find more! most of the relationships have romantic tone, or they have different levels, like servant/master, savior/victim, employer/employee etc.

I second Gangsta., and how about the oneshot BoysLike!? Cyboy and 12 Nin no Yasashii Koroshiya - Leo Murder Case could also be worth a try, although the storyline of the latter might be confusing by times. ^^"

And - Would you also be fine with a Shoujo/Shounen Ai subplot?

Yup! I don't mind that at all

Flower of Life
Longer and Slower Than a River
Heart of Thomas
Wandering Son

all of these are great manga about friendship

The side one-shot in Kanojotachi no X-Day, maybe?
Aiesu has some really nice friendships, too.
And Kanojoiro no Kanojo

Liar Game
Piano no Mori

I would also recommend the Important non-romantic relationships category.

I don't mind them being in a lower/higher position than the other. I just want their relationship to be close, but not anything romantic.
