Shounen-looking Yaoi?

Anyone know about any shounen art styled Yaoi where the characters don't look all feminine? Shotacon is fine as long as it looks like guys. I'm also looking for non-gay type manga where the male lead gets nude fairly often and has an art style like Happy World (the later chapters past like 40, not the first chapters). Anyone know of any?

Well, what do you mean by "shounen-styled"? 🙂 Do you mean "less flowery art"(minimal sparkles and stuff, not like shounen isn't any lighter on usage of screentones)? Or even, "more masculine-looking characters" like "beards, mustache, big 'n rippling muscles"? Or are you simply looking for a certain art style?

Some random suggestions, then. 😛

Let's see: maybe manga by Ike Reibun, Miyamoto Kano, Sakura haiji, KISARAGI Hirotaka(some of his stuff like Tsukiya has a fem-looking character), HONMA Akira, KUJOU Aoi, Yamato Nase, KODAKA Kazuma, SHIMIZU Yuki

Or even You´re my loveprize in Viewfinder which has a slight seinen feel(warning: 1 feminine looking character), Ice Eagle Fire Hawk, The 4th Guard - Single Mind, Hand which, Sono Kuchibiru ni Yoru no Tsuyu, Negai Kanae Tamae, Chrysalis, Les Sciences et les Fantaisie, Little Butterfly, Yume wo Miru Hima mo Nai.

I just mean, if the adult-rated stuff were taken out and all you had to base the genre on was character art, it'd seem shounen-looking.

I think I know what you mean 'cause I like the same style. (Most yaoi has lines that are far too boxy for my tastes.)

Tokaido Hisame fits better than most anything else I can think of (still lapses into ultra-fem girl, but not so badly.)
No Bra is technically shounen (and it's shonen ai) but the arts a bit weird/outdated.

Hmmm... all I can think of is madness but even then, 1 of the characters is an ultra-fem. And plus, this is another genre so I think the art style and presentation would be different?

wooww this is an old topic.. but i decided to put my two cents in anyways P:
just in case anyone out there is looking for the more shounen-styled art in yaoi
(which is my faaavorite)

my fav artists are definitely:

*please look at each mangaka cus they're all amazing artists and their stories are also pretty awesome. * (;

If you're talking about guys looking like GUYS yaoi, then maybe stuff by
Sadahiro Mika, Undergrand Hotel in particular
Miyamoto Kano
Nitta Youka

If you're talking about shounen-type action stories that are yaoi, then I can think of a lot of shounen-ai, but not too many yaoi stories. Maybe
G-Defend
FAKE
Crimson
Crimson Spell (very yaoi-pretty-art though)
Wild Rock (also pretty)
