| So, I thought this should be a relatively easy project to start with. I want to make a list of all the mangaka who create mostly non-girly uke manga. The requirements should be that over 50% of the mangaka's work is featuring non-girly ukes. So - to have one hunky guy amongst a crowd of apron-clad sissies is not enough. I'm happy about your help to keep this list as complete as possible. Edition: Here we have the organized list of this thread, the marked ones are still not confirmed of meeting the requirement. LIST Ajimine Sakufu basso (Natsume Ono) Bohra Naono Esuto Emu Fujisaki Kou Hidaka Shoko Honjou Rie Ike Reibun* (I have read some of her mangas and they feature girly ukes mostly) Inariya Fusanosuke Kano Shiuko Kanzaki Takashi Kawai Touko Kunieda Saika Kyuugou Matoh Sanami Minase Masara Mishima Kazuhiko Morimoto Shuu Motoni Modoru Nakamura Asumiko Natsume Isaku Nishida Higashi Nitta Youka Ougi Yuzuha Sadahiro Mika Sakuragi Yaya Suzuki Tsuta Tateno Makoto* Takao Hiroi Yamada Yugi Yamane Ayano Yamashita Tomoko Yoneda Kou Yukimura |

| And I will start off the list with one of my all-time favourite mangakas: 1. Sadahiro Mika. This mangaka is especially well-known for her reversi couples (meaning the guy can be both, uke and seme). I can't remember even one really girly uke amongst her guys and even the non-reversi ukes are a treat. Her stories are rather hard-corish. Some of her work includes "Under Grand Hotel", "Mukizu ja irarenee", "Buddy System", "Surf Junkie" and various others. |

| I'd like to add Morimoto Shuu. Nozomi Vision and Kagakushitsu e Oide contain girly guys (3 volumes total), but G Defend, Jinjuu Houretsuden, and Asterisk have guys who can take care of business themselves (50+ volumes). Mishima Kazuhiko as well. Looks like we have over half the works already in the manga relations. She often does younger seme, mouthy/brash uke, and generally has entertaining characters. |
| 4. Kanzaki Takashi. There seem to be a few really young boys amongst those of her manga that I have not read yet, but the chances of getting a real guy for an uke are still very good. Amongst her most recommendable reads are "Retsujou Kyoumushitsu" (and its sequel "Junai Fetizm"), "Friends like a Lover", "Slave x Slave" and numerous others. |

| 5. Fujisaki Kou. No little boys in frilly aprons here - Fujisaki Kou's ukes are all grown men and adults. Admittedly - if you see them standing next to their über-hunky botox-lipped semes, nobody can doubt who is the bottom here, but still they are manly if you see them for themselves. |

| Kano Shiuko. She created a very manly uke with Aoi from "Yakuza in Love", she has stories about yakuza, construction workers and hosts amongst others. I haven't read everything from her, but can't remember even one really girly uke so far. |
| 7. Inariya Fusanosuke Admittedly this mangaka has only a smaller number of work out, but so far no girly uke in sight. |
Geisha_XMar 23, 2009 2:36 PM
| Sanami Matoh (I just had to add one of my favourite manga-ka!) I have to go all out and say most of her Yaoi/Shounen-ai works are all non-girly uke free (if you ignore the fact that 'Full Moon ni Sasayaite' uke Marlo turns into a girl). Works include, FAKE, Access, Fake 2nd season, Full Moon ni Sasayaite, A to Z, Hako, Trash, Like, Like, Love Take Note: Not all her works are Yaoi. |
| Ayano Yamane (Another of my favs) Absolutely no girly uke in sight here either!! All of sensei's works range in variety, genre and include extremely smexy seme and uke. Example of some of her works include, View Finder series, Crimson Spell, Cat & Dog Master, Ikoku Irokoi Romantan, Lock Out.. |
| Sakuragi Yaya Almost all of her works are non-girly uke free and love the equal-standing uke/seme couples in some of her mangas! Highly recommended works include, Calorie, Nee, Sensei?, Plus 20cm no Kyori, & Renai Kyoutei Nukegake Nashi! |
| 12. Nitta Youka She has admittedly created one of the most irritating uke ever with the bikini-wearing drag-queen in "Groupie", but the chances of landing a non-girly uke are very good. Like in "When a man loves a man" or "Haru o deite ita". |
| 13. Ike Reibun This manga-kas work always leaves me wondering on who is the uke and who is the seme. Her characters are very manly and I think her mangas fit this category. Like "Hide and Seek" and "Koiyami Archive". |
 |
| 14. Tateno Makoto Her works have a nice distinctive storyline that would captivate the readers. All her characters are manly, none girly. Try it out! |
| 15. Suzuki Tsuta I only just realized that most of this mangaka's work is already in our lists. And even the work that has not made it into our lists has not really girly ukes, just not especially non-girly either. I especially recommend "Sangen tonari no tooi hito" and "Hand Which". |
| 16.Ajimine Sakufu You can notice from the manga covers that their are no such thing as girly uke in some of her mangas. I'd admit I haven't read all, but I would still like to recommend her. I recommend "Wagamama Romeo" and "Hanjuku Orange" 17. Natsume Isaku I'm surprise she wasn't recommended already. I'm seriously in love with all her works. Her ukes are strong and persistent; if they say no, you better bet that they really mean no. Her works are also very funny. ^^ I recommend "Dash!" and "Doushiyoumo Nai Keredo" |

| 18.Yukimura Haven't read every piece of her works, but I have yet to see girly ukes. |

| 19. Honjou Rie shinkeikakus recent suggestions to add quite a few of her work has made me realize that she should be present in this list. She has created the only sadist uke that I personally know of in "Love me Hard" and most of her uke are very demanding. Konna otoko wa aisareru, Welcome to the Chemistry Lab, love skit and many others are highly recommendable. |
| 20.Yoneda Kou. Definitely the best treasure I have found in a while..I hope to see more from her since she has few mangas around..Don't stay gold is quite good, she also has some girly ukes, but somehow they don't bother me at all, must be because her stories feel real and even when they are not so explicit they are way too sexy!. From what I have found about her she loves to do stories about cops and thugs. Stories about strong men, I am just waiting to see more! |
| 21. Masara Minase Masara Minase is really a good mangaka. Gives me pleasure to read her works. Beauty and integrity of drawings and stories .. Sometimes you could read her mangas for just her drawing skills. For we, have anti-girly uke fans her works are a treasure.. Stories usually about complicated relationships. There will be three man but 2 of them fall in love with the same person and the same person have to choose one of them.. When you read her works, you could say; "C'mon!" or "kyaaa, it's so cute" for me, her best works: *Love & Action *Empty Hearth *Gokujou no Koibito *Midara na Sasayaki .... |
| 23. Naono Bohra I've been (re)reading her stuff and pretty much everything fits. Older uke, salarymen, young/brash ukes, and lots of manly looking guys. Most of her stuff belongs on the list. |
| 24. Shoko Hidaka So far I haven't found a girly uke here, and she has this romantic style that is kind of subtle ^^ |
| 25. Yamashita Tomoko Her stories are really good and original :) |
| 26. Kawai Touko I was hesitating to add this mangaka. None of her characters are exactly testosteron-soaked hunks, but half of her work is in our list already and her other ukes aren't girly pushovers in frilly aprons either. So I think she deserves to be mentioned here. |

| 27. Kunieda Saika Like Kawai Touko, her ukes are not very very manly, but they are not girly either, most of them are the beautiful/conceited type, or flamboyant/mean ones...There are some girly ones but I don't find them annoying. Maybe she stands in a 50/50 position, as a borderline case for the mangaka's list! (I have yet to read three more BLs from her), but I think she is really worth mentioning, I really love her comic style.. |
| 28. Takao Hiroi There are few works around but there is always a manly uke in them, at least one. Four mangas and I have seen threesomes, a foursome and several reversi characters (obviously since there are so many players at the same time)...Very explicit style by the way.. |
| 29. Esuto Emu Another one with few works to read but no girly uke on sight. |
21. Masara Minase Masara Minase is really a good mangaka. Gives me pleasure to read her works. Beauty and integrity of drawings and stories .. Sometimes you could read her mangas for just her drawing skills. For we, have anti-girly uke fans her works are a treasure.. Stories usually about complicated relationships. There will be three man but 2 of them fall in love with the same person and the same person have to choose one of them.. Minase Masara is my favorite yaoi mangaka <3 I've read almost all her works and i always enjoy them. |
| 30. Motoni Modoru This mangaka has some girly ukes on sight but the main charcters are usually manly, and sometimes reversi :) |
| 31. Kyuugou This mangaka especializes in shounen-ai so far, I really like the art..and the stories are really nice.. |
| 32. Nakamura Asumiko Her work includes a measure of shoujo, but am I wrong saying that she seems to go bl recently more and more? Well, I have that feeling. Her art is stunning and unusual. She really has her own style that stands out a lot. The uke she features are so at the very least equally standing. Recommendable work are Doukyuusei, Anata no tame nara doko made mo or Double Mints. |
| 33. Nishida Higashi Lots of manly looking men--strong jawlines, large bodies, even manly hairstyles. For the most part, their personalities match as well and quite a few of her works are listed here. And lots of them are minimally in their late twenties, many 30+. I think there was some author comment about her editor wanting her to draw prettier and younger men... don't listen to the editor~ |
| 34. basso (Natsume Ono) Versatile writer with works that cover several different demographics. For her BL works, her characters don't seem to fall into the simple stereotypes. Distinct art style that really has some nice "shots" occasionally. |
| 35. Ishihara Satoru. Lots of strong, manly looks (almost too strong for high school age!) and strong personalities. |
| We have to consider these two, I think Sakurai S. might fit, but she has so many mangas that I haven't read! The other one I don't remember well.. |
