So, I finally decided to try to read some shounen-ai/yaoi, so I need recommendations for the best shounen-ai/yaoi manga out there.
Of course it should have
-nice drawning,
-good plot,
-some comedy maybe,
-great characters (btw, I like cold, hiding their emotions and a bit mean characters ^^)
-and no one shots

That's all!! I think...^^'

Me de Shireru Yoru no Junjou matches your requests. -(yaoi)

goes searching for some more... 🙄

Lets see...
The Tyrant Who Fall In Love is mostly comedy. but really really good, with some dramatic moments.
Uke's mean, and doesn't show any emotions , only when he's worried about the seme. 🤣 - (yaoi)

Vassalord I kind of recommand to practiculary anyone that asks about BL related stuff. Has what you're looking for - (really light shounen-ai so far)

Freezing Flame didn't like that one so much... But it has what you're looking for. Mean cold seme, that misstreats the poor uke...~
But... I don't know... Not really enoyable from my point of view.

Cold they even discuss how cold the seme is... Granting him the title "the absolute zero angel" -(one volume yaoi)

junjou romantica funny. not much molestation, but there are feelings that are not expressed.
The art is messy, and kind of takes getting used to. But if me, the "don't read if the art sucks" can put up with it, and really enjoy the manga, I bet you can as well^^ 🤣 🙄

Viewfinder mean seme, not sure if that fits, because it smutty, and the plot is messy in the first volume or so. But it's worth giving a shot.
(yaoi ^~)
Verry good art.
Crimson spell by the same mangaka as viewfinder's. Funny, kind of cold sometimes from the uke's side and smutty. Well, it does say "an erotic fantasy"

Maiden Rose that's a really good yaoi. Has comedy moments, cold uke

except of the his first time XD , cough, action (takes place in some war..)
And yeah, the art is so great (also, the smut.. ) 🙄

Read, like everything that mangaka rights Kisaragi Hirotaka
Not all comedy, but so , so ssooso good.
For comedy and cold ukes (they are most like that so...) by erm... him?. I'd say Keep Out (KISARAGI Hirotaka) and Uchi no Tantei shirimasen ka? , also Tsukiya is cute, although unclear about the length (3chapters so far).

And of course Kimi ga Koi ni Oboreru
Tenki Yohou no Koibito
Koi Cha no Osahou - so cute, 4 volumes. Although I think 2 were enough. (really loved it.)
Won't comment on those because I'm really tierd (sorry) only, that they are really good. and read stuff by [a]Takanaga Hinako[m] !!! 🤣
Well, I'm sleepy... I'll edit if I find some more..

My... can't right clearly... rrrr
So, goodnight for me^^
And if you have any questions and just related stuff you can always PM me^

Have a nice yaoi reading. :3

Remembered this oneharu wo daite ita funny, lots of smut... nice, although it's long~ Don't know if that's what you're looking for ,though
.

Check out works of Naono Bohra, but only if you are okay with smut. They are very smutty, but they do have plots! And the characters are so adorable. Although her works are mainly one-shots. Give them a try, really!
Aijin Incubus is a good comedy. Pity only a few chapters are scanlated, since the manga is licensed.
Hikari to Yami no Logic - one word. Cosplay.
Soba ni Oitene - a sweet one.
Ren'ai Shinan! - it's a classic one, if we're talking about two guys from work having a relationship 😉.

And I second Vassalord. And Crimson Spell, if you're okay with extremely graphic yaoi 😁

wow! I didn't accept that much!! thanks ^^
and no I don't mind smut at all (Bishies+Smut=Heaven) but I think it would be better if I stay away from the extremly graphic yaoi for now at least XD

Oh boy this is probably late but... check out this series. Very little smut... quite interesting and the art isn't too bad. Yume wo Miru Hima mo Nai

Or better yet, check out anything by the same author of that series(Yume): YAMADA Yugi. Ore wa Warukunai is also not bad.

Mirai no Kioku is not bad...and quite funny 🙂

Try also Haru Jo on which is about love between a blind violinist and a boy.

Also, Sakende Yaruze! by TAKAGUCHI Satosumi is high on comedy and interesting moments and light on smut.

And if you don't mind just a bit of smut, try maybe Rules or Please.

Also, Last Portrait is not bad at all if you're looking for some story. Or if not, Sabakareshi Mono aka The Judged which has been highly rated by many.

Hmmm... if you're not looking for a lot of smut, Freezing Flame and some or most of Naona Bohra's works might not be up your alley for now. Same for Viewfinder and Crimson Spell 'cos they're really smutty... ^^;;

Okane ga Nai
A Toy With Sadness

...You have a lot of smut on your lists, and these ones are both very smut-like in their plots. Well, that's what I think at least. Especially Okane, it's like Toriko Aigan Shoujo except with comedy. And less depressing as a result. Meh, they're smutty without overly smutty art is what I'm trying to say. I can't really recommend too much as I also only just started reading shounen-ai/yaoi.
