SHOUNEN-ai not shoujo-ai
sorry I typo'd in the title and it wont let me fix it (TT^TT)
...
since I normally search based on tags or thumbnails- so Im somewhat limited as to what I can find on my own, and am having a hard time finding anything new to read (despite I havent even read very many)
Basically I just want a fairly softcore shounen-ai/yaoi
not to picky on the plot at this point as im getting desperate... just no smut, tragedy, horror, rape, hardcore, etc. you know something upbeat and pleasant
decent art
maybe with at least one of the protagonists being fairly cute and feminine
(not a 'must', just a preference)
so far Ive read:
harete bokutachi wa
dokidoki renai
koi wa go go
Ashita no Kimi wa Koko ni Inai
Ano hi no Kimi wo Dakishimeta Nara
konbini-kun
abarenbou kareshi
kimi note
merry family plan
seven days
croquis
little butterfly
just one last thing- please no oneshots, short story collections, or anthologies

maybe... try works from Natsume Isaku. I've read dash, no color, kiraboshi dial and free punch. If you won't like one, you probably won't like the others, I would say the best one was No color.
also works from Kinoshita Keiko, my absolute favorite is kiss blue, but there is no comedy in it, if you are looking for one. It's more slice of life. don't cry baby is also beautiful, and others from her.
then Kunieda Saika: more comedy orientated 50x50, the best one (in my opinion) is future lovers. But don't read Banin - drama, tragedy, rape and such.
otona keikenchi - high school comedy
too bad I didn't read much of yours examples, but I hope I helped a bit. 🙂
if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.
"what kind of crazy, twisted conclusion is that...?" - banana bread no puding

Sono Te no Netsu wo Kasanete, Dear Green: Hitomi no Ounowa and other work by Fujiyama Hyouta are generally pretty sweet
Blue Wars is by the same author as Skip Beat, so I have high hopes. It is definitely unique.
Kouun no Rihatsushi is pretty up-beat
Aitsu no Daihonmei is fairly funny, if you can get into the characters
I don't know if you could call Lucky Number 13 upbeat, but I found it entertaining
Rin!, I think
