I'm looking for a manga where the male characters are not bishies. Most manga present male characters as bishies and im kinda getting tired of it. Can u guys recommend some mangas where the male characters are not drawn in a feminine way? for example, mangas like berserk, full metal alchemist, kiseijuu, shin angyo onshi and veritas (i hated it though) had guys that actually looked like guys. The genres im looking for are slice of life, action or romance (i dont mind a mix of all three 😁 )
P.S. I dont really hate bishounen, but I'm not a fan of them either
And i would prefer it if the characters didnt look child-like or adolescent. Sorry for being so picky 😀

well the main character of Ore Monogatari!! isnt a bishounen, but his best friend is one.. romance
and how about Ouroboros ? not really romance.. or slice of life... but there's some action?
Addition oldman action and some of the coloring is really realistic

@mikako17
Thank you for your recommendations! i've already read spice and wolf, and i really liked the way the men were drawn in it. Also read Hellsing, the main charcters a bishie, but he was just so badass, i didnt care how he looked! 🤣

Haha, Chocolat was great 🙂 Here are a few more:
Ongoing

Chinatsu no Uta The MCs are children, so don't know if that counts, lol.
Jiraishin
Mother Sarah
Shinobi no Kuni
Tetsuwan Girl

Yamikagishi
These four are somewhere in between, as far as the art goes. But again, just in case:
Atashi no Banbi
Bijo ga Yajuu

In the last post I was trying to combine at least two of the genres you mentioned for each manga. But this time there's usually just action, just romance or just slice of life.
Enjoy!
