Is it specifically them looking feminine that you like wrt subversion traditional patriarchal gender roles? Or are you okay with stories with "masculine" looking guys who act outside traditional masculine norms? Because, if you are, I have two recs?

Hi there! Thank you for bothering to rec anything at all really! <3

I'll answer your questions though: I'm not really into super submissive in the bedroom type guys, which is something I usually see following this trope everywhere. Something about a slim guy with long hair makes people want to insert a femdom scenario, and I'm not exactly all about pegging and domination. So I guess it really depends on what you mean by "act" outside of traditional masculine gender norms, and how masculine we're talking. If the guy is just an emo bulked up dude who isn't afraid to cry, I've seen that before in a couple of the more subversive romance novels in the genre. If he's a regular guy? Maybe. I'm interested in the recs anyway even if I may personally not find them to my liking, I always like seeing why people like the things they do. :)

The two I was going to say were Kimi ni Todoke and Ore Monogatari, though rereading KnT, it's not quite how you were thinking, but you might like it?

The thing is, the MMC in that acts outside of traditional shoujo manga masculine norms, I feel like? Like, it's nice, but not stupid, you know? He's not the brooding bad-boy loaner, or anything. Plus the FMC is adorable.

OM is similar, nice characters, even though the MMC is very masculine looking. (He's a wrestler). But he's kind, sweet, likes to help out, etc.)

I have one that maybe you'd like--
Otomen is about a very masculine looking boy with secret very feminine hobbies. His love interest is a standard looking shoujo girl who is into burning spirit and manliness etc.
I've only read a little bit, but it's pretty cute.
