Manga without a clear seme/uke

Recommended Posts

I'm tired of stoic/bully!seme, blushing/crying!uke and what to me seems like dub-con sex... well, I guess I'm tired of the seme/uke thing in general, really - and lately I've been trying to find mangas without this dynamic.

 

Examples:

50x50,

Dining Bar Akira,

Lotus Eater (kind of, in the sense that the uke is uke by choice and the seme is alright with switching)

 

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I write Doujinshi's and my character, "Ren" who is my Persona, but even though I consider myself an Uke (and since I am so is my persona) I'm nothing like the Uke stereotype, I'm/my character is an uke only because I like being dominated, but that doesn't mean I'm going to just let myself be dominated. I'm actually quite evil ^^; and a puppet master, hard core gamer, marksman/martial artist, etc. which can bee seen as kinda un-uke-ish traits. So I'll have to post some of my Doujinshi some time and when I do I'll let you know, and see what you think because I'm curious too if you'd consider my storyline to ... well stereotypical.

-dog style is one of the manga that i found quite difficult to know which is which at first sight. they're both look quite masculine. so you might want to try that one

- plus 20 cm no kyori is also quite a good one. it's about the uke getting tired of being an uke and especially when he actually like cute boys, it's quite a happy ending

-I also recommend sono no koi ni wa wake ga aru, the uke is quite the violent one and the manga is filled with comedy

 

i don't know if this is the type of manga that you want but if you like what i recommend then let me know.

Seven Days Mon-Thur & Fri -Sun.

 

We never find out who tops/bottoms because the couple doesn't have sex, and neither character is a stereotype BL top/bottom.

Now that you mention it, that Shounen Ai manga really doesn't have a particular topping and bottoming XD

anyway, now that you guys have recs, i can go and read now. hahaha. i'm actually freaking out if there wouldn't be a definite uke/seme and the volume just ends. but i'm okay with 50x50 (and i kinda pretty like it) so i guess i'd be okay....

 

and oh oh, please add Hana no Miyako de in the list. one of my favorites under the drama genre. Motoharu looks like he'd bottom but i think he actually would top Akira though the manga didn't have any hints that they actually slept together.

a fair amount of pg-13 bl are like that. and the "reversible" tag in baka-updates has a lot of entries, so you could search there.

 

personal opinion: honestly i'm tired of this too, if it's just a shallow cliche. with well-written characters it's still ok for me.

I definitely recommend the mangas by Koshino. The story line is funny and unique and the uke and seme position is never clear until the sex scene happens hahaha

Something that i've read recently and i liked very much is OtokoGokoro, KoibitoGokoro, AmaamaGokoro it must be read in the same order how i writed here because is about 1 couple. Even if the uke is a little bit shy and he blushes sometimes i think you will like manga.

"Kyuuso Ha Cheese no Yume Omiru" and the sequel "Sojou No Koi Wa Nido Haneru" maybe. They have an actual switch in who tops in the course of the manga.

 

my favorites yaoi work of all time from Setona Mizushiro, yay.

 

i'm still waiting for Docchi Mo Docchi..the next chapter will decide who is the seme and who is the uke..

 

^ THIS.

man i love to see the second chapter however it was licensed in the US so we have to buy the legal hard copy to see. "orz

 

since it's categorized as Seme x Seme for having no definite order until you read it,

well...my memory kinda jumbled up but i do remember from INOUE Satou's 10 Dance.

it's still on going and there's still no definite who's the top or bottom.

 

also again from that Manga-ka is chapter 3 of Kozure Ookami the last time i checked.

 

to see more, using advanced search in Baka-Manga Updates would be helpful, well at least for me.
