Male Friendships (any genre)

Male friendships are fun to see (not in a shipping way, though - I like them at face value). However, friendships with dudes who have a "bros before hoes" attitude aren't included on this list. You can value your friendships without disparaging women in the same breath (misogynists can GTFO). While BL isn't banned from this list, friendship must be the anchor of the relationship.

I really love the friendship between Naruto and Sakuke! (Also, can people stop calling it "gay" any time two guys are close to each other? Homophobes are obviously much worse, but fujoshi who see every male relationship as gay can be pretty annoying as well)

This was once my favorite manga in the world... I really liked the friendship between Killua and Gon, although Gon as a character honestly isn't my favorite, and I think he treated Killua quite badly at times

This one is beginning to piss me off. The subtext is just text at this point :(
Edit: I hate fujobait with a passion, and that's what this has become... Give me platonic friendships or give me BL, but do not give me gay crap disguised as "friendship" that is obviously meant to cater to fujos. You cannot tell me this fuck-ass manga is aimed at straight men. It's very possible to write a strong male relationship that isn't obvious fujobait, but this ain't it chief

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.
