Shinomiya (writer) X Sano (editor)
Comedy, slice of life
Extreme fanservice with loads of bromance. They in love!
They live together, Sano acts like a doting housewife, to the point they are seen as an ideal of what a marriage should be and their boss even asks advice from them for his own marriage. Also, the writer keeps over thinking their interactions, and he just gets shy about it, no rejection over the thoughts of it turning romantic.

Aint they brothers tho

Not sure to which pair you are referring to, but this list focuses on male affection that goes against normative expectations and/or pleases the fujo in me (you will see some of my review have me explicitly saying I personally don't view a certain bond as romantic, or that I believe them to be so despite it not being canon).

On this list description I explain the 3 basic content classifications I add here:
• Fanon BL ships - anything that seems to have a shippy potential;
• Fanservice - intentionally made to give the feeling of a BL ship;
• Bromance: which is listed on the description as "close relationship between guys, stereotypically romantic, or actual brotherly love"

On these three classifications, something might be labeled as bromance on this list if it promimently has:
1- any close relationship between men
2- any relationship between men that have beats which western/westernized amatonormative society consider exclusive to those who have/had/could have romantic bonds and
3- actual BROmance, brotherly love between men. A familial relationship that is affectionate, going against the societal expectation that men should not show affection, care or love for each other, even if they are family.

Now, there will be familial bromance here that also fit in the BL ship and the fanservice classification simultaneously (there's one with winged cousins, there's one with maybe-half-brothers, etc), so do read the reviews to see what it classifies as.
