I've been reading Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi (yes, I've only heard about it recently so don't hate me) and I really am into it. I love manly and muscular seme. Can you recommend me some mangas where the seme is really muscular and manly. Also, I'm not a fan of manly ukes but something like Beast and Feast is okay with me (I loved that one). I would also appreciate it if the art is good.

1-en no Otoko 5 Story. I think that most of the semes here were muscular/manly though.
Ikenai Otoko Manly main couple.
10 Dance Really good story/manly.
Himegoto Asobi Pretty manly seme, but maybe not...that muscular.

It really depends on what you define as "muscular" and "manly" lol. I think the semes in the manga stated above fits your criteria. I hope they're to your liking.

I have recommendations for a similar type in this thread asking for a "shaggy" seme. In fact the example given by the op is Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi (which, BTW, I still haven't read). Most of them will I think also fit your request.

Second these, except haven't (yet) read Himegoto Asobi - jumping up and down for 10 Dance! 😃 🤣

If you want more, I have a loooong list of mangaka who draw manly (though not necessarily muscular) guys.

Thanks for your replies. I really appreciate it! I've now learned about the bara genre and it's slightly close to what I'm looking for.

Can you recommend me some mangas like Beast and Feast? I really like the way they are drawn. Fits my tastes.

Beast & Feast is by AKIRA Norikazu, and all of her works feature well-built, manly men. You will especially love Hachimitsu Darling, if you have not read it already. Other favorites are Trigger and Heart Strings.

Ike Reibun - try Hide and Seek for some really burly men, Bi no Isu for hot yakuza.
Sakira for bara-like art, Sailor Danshi is a good one.
Have you read YAMANE Ayano? Viewfinderis her most well-known series, Crimson Spell is a fantasy with a masculine main pair.
INARIYA Fusanosuke draws big semes, but her ukes can be effeminate. Maiden Rose
NAONO Bohra draws manly men - Dakishimetakunai is an example
Boku no Shiru Anata no Hanashi; Work In
Takaga Koi daro and sequel Aiso Tsukashi
Tengoku e Ikebaii
Ai no Gebokutachi, Lovers on a Desert Island
Ashita mo Koko de Aou - oneshot

Did you try 1-en no Otoko, Ikenai Otoko, and 10 Dance? I'm sure you'll like them. 😃

I'l second the Akira Norikazu recommendations. I adore her masculine semes. If you liked Beast and Feast, you'll definitely enjoy her other works. My favorite is also Heart Strings as recommended by Scarlet, but I also adore the first story in Koisuru Cupid.

And if you don't also mind burly ukes to go along with the big seme, then you need look no further than Soshite Tsuzuki ga Aru no Nara. I don't really care for bara myself, but I think this series skirts the line quite nicely. I actually wish there were more big semes in yaoi. Not the short stocky bara versions, but tall and muscular.

My ideal type kinda looks like the seme from Katsubou no Manazashi or Daniel from Papa's Assassin by Shoowa. There's also Karada Meate de Warui ka where the uke has a fond appreciation for a great six-pack as evidenced by the front cover 😉

If you haven't read anything by her already, there's also Ougi Yuzuha. Once those shirts come off, these men have some nice bulging muscles. Probably not as lewd as anything by Sakira, but drool-worthy still. My favorite is Leopard Hakusho but I similarly enjoyed Brother and Star Right. Her art work takes some getting used to, but once you do, it's definitely worth the read.

Also, anything by Yugi Yamada. One of my all time favorites is Close the Last Door by her. Her men are more "masculine" than your usual lean bishonen and her work tends towards slice of life than your typical smut, but there is definitely some smoking sex.

Hahaha! Yeah, I do adore her artworks. Also I've read Hachimitsu Darling I fell in love with it. Thank you guys!

@PansyWansyLinsy We have the same taste. I also prefer semes like the uncle from Katsubou no Manazashi <3 and I love Sakira's art.
