“Y” is for…
It’s technically shônen, but “Y” titles are thin on the ground, this one’s all about gender identity, and I love Ai Morinaga:

How about a license request?
Tsukuba Sakura, the mangaka of Penguin Revolution and Land of the Blindfolded, has an ongoing series called Yoroshiku Master. It’s about a girl who is a Santa and a boy who’s her reindeer. Really.
“Yoroshiku Master”
I second this. It’s a cute series 🙂
JRB: I’m only surprised that the first yaoi pitch wasn’t for Yellow, but all are welcome. Maybe I should do the yaoi alphabet next.

I think Your & My Secret might really be shoujo, though I was campaigning for its shounen-ness for a time myself. It looks, though, that it ran in the now-defunct Comic Blade Zebel, then switched to Comic Blade Avarus, both of which are listed by Comipedia as shoujo magazines.

Your Lover from Netcomics is a good one, too.
