The main characters share some interesting qualities—Ash and Rei are naturally smart and cunning, despite their outside appearance, intense, scarred, beautiful, and dangerous. Rei is a diluted version of Ash in many ways. They both meet a quiet individual and their interactions and the qualities they bring out in each other are a highlight of the works. Read either one if you're looking for something outside the norm of the shoujo genre.
These highly-acclaimed shoujo manga may have vastly different settings and premises, but the dynamics of the main characters are very similar. Both have a talented but naive character that is drawn into an intense new world after a personal tragedy. This character (Serge in KazeKi; Eiji in BF) becomes close to another boy whose horrid past has made him broken and unapproachable (Gilbert in KazeKi; Ash in BF). They're both romantic (although BF only has romantic undertones) without being full of fanservice; and tragic without lacking hope that the leads will one day be happy.
Both Boys Next Door and Banana Fish center around BL-esque themes and the darker side of human nature, seen through the eyes of Japan's youth.
These action-packed series center around mysterious drugs, but the real draw is the very intricate relationships between characters -- and the yaoi undertones!
Banana Fish has some BL themes and Fake is a Boy's love series. They both deal with crime on the streets.
