School life sort of thing...?

Hi there. So, lately I've been really into the school life genre, but now I feel like I've read anything that could possibly satisfy me. Got any good suggestions? Here goes what I have in mind:
- Shonen-ai or yaoi, doesn't matter so long as it is really good.
- I'd like them to go to high school but college is okay too. It's the "student" vibe I'm looking for.
- I don't like the super-cute, flowery, shoujo-ish art style. So boys need to look like boys. I mean, I like Junko and Shoowa's ukes, for instance, but mostly because they can still be guys behind the goggle eyes... - I don't mind if the romance is slow - as in Slow Starter (ICHIKAWA Kei) - again, for as long as it is cute. And despite tragedy, I read pretty much everything, from angst and drama to comedy...
Perhaps I'm being a little too vague? 🙁
The bottom-line is: no girly, needy, wussy uke and a very nice plot. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I do realise that school life romance is the most cliché thing ever in yaoi, but I'm looking for the manga. The one that can easily blow my mind away. Is there such a thing?

My favourites are Yoneda Kou's Kanjou Spectrum and Tadayoedo Shizumazu, Saredo Naki mo Sezu, and I also really liked Mizu no Haru and Kono Ore ga Omae Nanka Suki na Wakenai. And, of course, Slow Starter - I really, really liked that one!
EDIT: I just remembered Endou-kun no Kansatsu Nikki, Doko e mo Yukenai Ki ga Shiteta, Udagawachou de Mattete yo and Doukyuusei, but I'm not sure if the art styles will agree with you. Great stuff, though!

No worries, hope you enjoy at least one of these titles as much as I did 🙂
Also, I can't believe I forgot my all-time fave for school romances, Takaido Akemi's Breakfast Club!
