Yaoi with a positive female role

Many yaoi/shounen ai mangas depict women as either witches or b!tches. They are often made unlikeable (e.g. bad mothers, vindictive friends, exwives from hell) as a plot device to bring the seme and uke together.

Here are some mangas where the female characters are nice to the main characters, as well as strong and bold themselves. Most of them are siblings (big sisters, mothers) who took care of the main character and help them grow in a positive way.

Yajima Reiko, slightly tyrannical but ultimately a softie (don't tell her tho). The Toudou women... I hope they stop babying Kazuomi though.

Well, they're more benign than entirely positive. But it's refreshing nonetheless. Especially Maya and Nemu's classmates. On the surface, you expect them to be catty or bullies, but they're actually kind. They greeted Nemu politely (even though they called him glassesboy), they get worried when Nemu looked freaked out over an exam, and Kana got kept an eye on Nemu in the club until Maya arrived to save the day. Nemu's mother is strict but kind, she worries about her only son.

You know what, I don't think I've ever seen so many supportive female characters in a Yaoi story before. And not even one wretched witch. Not a one.

while the jury is still out on the main couple**,
we all should be so lucky to have an ex and/or friend like Juujou.


**(sometimes BOTH of them gets on my nerves, sometimes they make me laugh and squee and feel fluffy, sometimes they make me throw things at walls)
