true it's not ut not all yzois are like tht i have read some were theres just kissing and it's still labeled a yaoi some as with yuri
This is yaoi. Yaoi means love between two men. That doesnt mean it will have a ton of sex is involved. Shouen ai means its yaoi but just stops af kisses and hugs. Nothing mature.
oml this is why i need to have my glasses on when i write things "ture it could not be a yaoi but not all yaoi is revolved around haveing sex BL and Yaoi is of two men kissing our sharing affection too one a nother witch this manga dose so yes it's a yaoi
Boy love (shoonen' ai) in Japanese does not refer to the love many young Japanese women feel for male teen idols, but instead refers to the homoerotic attraction the male heroes in a genre of Japanese women's manga (comics) feel for each other. Commencing in the early 1970s, women's manga began to describe love stories between “beautiful boys,” culminating in the mid-1980s in a genre termed YAOI (an acronym meaning “no climax, no point, no meaning”) which, dispensing with the elaborate plots of the earlier comics, focused instead on sexual interactions between boys and young men. The advent of the Internet has provided a new forum for women interested in boy-love fiction to publish their own and read each others' work. This article briefly outlines the history of boy love in Japanese women's comics and attempts to describe and account for the recent expansion of this genre onto the Internet, where young Japanese women have produced a huge number of Web sites extolling the virtues of homosexual love between beautiful boys.
Many people (mostly fangirls) get the term Yaoi, mixed up with the term shounen-ai though the two may be closely related being that they both show relationships between male characters, there is a difference. One depicts explicit content So let's clear things up, shall we?
Yaoi is used to describe titles that contain sex scenes and other sexually explicit themes
Shounen-ai is used to describe titles that focus more on romance and do not include explicit sexual content
these were literally taken from dictionaries. so if this is wrong, don't get mad at me, get mad at the wiktionary.
it's NOT a yaoi. if it were a yaoi, there would be tons of sex scenes, but it's not. stop complaining, the tags literally wrote 'shounen-ai'.
