thank u for that explanation and thank u so much for working on this amazing manga
Hai hai sensei question~ (●'◡'●)ﾉ what exactly does yaoi mean then? Like "no point, no climax"? Does that refer to porn without plot?
Also thank you for the info and for your work on this manga!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Yaoi is a term short for "yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi, nashi," which essentially refers to porn without plot. But we tend to use it for stories that just have a lot of smut regardless of how the plot is, which is why I like to tag shounen ai on stories that have a lot of focus on emotional/soft development as well in order to differentiate it since everyone kind of has an understanding that shounen ai will be somewhat fluffy ^^
Aww, I feel really bad. I feel guilty using this site most of the times since the scans and translator don't get anything from what they're gaining...
I'm really sorry and that I can't do anything, I know my thanks and appreciation is nit enough, but I appreciate your efforts on translating this super fluffy story thank you very much
Oooh i see! Thank you for imparting knowledge on this peasant. Your work is a gift to all fujodanshi-kind
I see y'all talking about it being tagged both shounen ai and yaoi/smut so i'll talk about that a bit ^^
In Japan the term shounen ai (boys love) is a general term depicting relationships between men, sexual or not, and includes yaoi (which literally means "no climax, no point, no meaning") as a subcategory of it. But in the west/english speakers/our community, we typically attribute smut exclusively to yaoi, and fluffy/emotional relationships exclusively to shounen ai.
Anyways of course I'm once again not too happy that my scans have ended up on mangago but what can I do about it-- I figured I might as well inform you all
