    A pronounce that ya-oee but each time I heard native Japanese speaker, they're saying "ya-oy" so I guess that's the true pronunciation

    All my life since I've discovered Yaoi, I pronounced it as ya-oy. I don't know the right pronounciation for it, sorry. ( ̄∇ ̄") I'm not really helpful, am I...

    Funny enough, the only Japanese speakers that I heard pronouncing that word didn't pronounced it like that... But I supposed you can say the end of the word both "o - i" and "oy". Actually, it's the same fore the word "Koi" (love) which you can pronounce "Koy" and "K - o - i"
