I totally getchu! Although I differentiate the two by shounen Ai (can read on the bus) and yaoi (DONT READ ON THE BUS)
ALSO I KNOW RIGHT!! Izuhara is like the most cinnamony roll character I’ve ever seen in manga! He’s too cute!
"shounen Ai (can read on the bus) and yaoi (DONT READ ON THE BUS)"
...i love that!
I don't use the terms yaoi and shounen ai anymore hahaha I generally refer to them as BL and just categorize it as smut or non-smut. Japan uses BL instead of yaoi and shounen ai too
haha same!
yeah lol I agree BL is a better term
Reading the comments reinforce my dislike for the terms "yaoi" and "shounen-ai" and it makes me more confused about people separating one from another??? (apparently some will even think one is inherently superior to the other, lol).
aaaand- I loved this. It was one of the cutest and funniest things I've read. I think the level of Izuhara's tsundere-ism was comedy gold. He was sososo precious. I also loved Shinba and his inability to read kanji (I will remember him like the dude who can ride a unicycle while carrying an elementary school bag ). All the guys from VOICE and Karasukai were great and supportive too. Best bros ever.
The only thing that didn't convinced me was the whole thing with the cop, I felt it was forced and weird (even if crazy dudes obsessed with one of the MC is a cliché, it was still weird and it didn't fit the mood of the story), anyway, it wasn't enough to ruin it for me.
