    Basically it was other term in Japanese , seme=top, uke=bottom. But in manga you will find other term for it, like tachi for top and neko for bottom.

    Nah this isn't true. Uke/seme means bottom/top only. Submissive and dominant is another explanation. Any positions can be sub or dom

    lmfao they're japanese yaoi terms
    攻め = seme/top (kanji means "attack")
    受け = uke/bottom (kanji means "receive")
    and seke = switch
    you may also find タチ = tachi/top; ネコ = neko/bottom, リバ = riba/reversible, which are japanese gay slangs ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    In gay slang, vers means guys who switch and are fine with being either top or bottom. For some reason in BL they rarely show this even though it's common.

    LOL the uke is the bottom and usually more submissive one and the seme is the top who's usually the dominant one

    Being top or bottom had nothing to do with being sub or dominant otherwise 'power bottoms' wouldn't exists. Some BL stories do carry that trope for the storyline - especially omegaverse ones but it's just reinforcing misogynistic stereotypes that bottoms because they receive are just like women and therefore are weak / feeble.

    No I know what it means but I didn't know there was another term other than seke for versatile couples.

    yes thats why i said USUALLY since its not always the case, but i personally found that the majority of bls ive seen have the seme as the more dominant one in the relationship.
