    It's yaoi I think. Cause bara is like.. catered to men but yaois more meant for women? (in not saying that women can't like bara or men can't like yaoi tho)
    But this just has more of a yaoi vibe to me. Maybe you'd think it was bara bcs they're pretty muscular but I don't think this is bara.. right? Idk it just has more of a yaoi vibe to me. Baras a bit different. Correct me if I'm wrong tho, just my opinion. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    Bars is made by gay men for gay men. Yaoi is just your typical gay content with lots of smut. The yaoi without the smut is shounen ai. The overarching group of everything is BL/Boys Love

    yeah, a lot of people get confused and just shove everything under Yaoi. thats why the webtoon apps categorize it under BL instead.

    yeah I've always thought of it as BL, yaoi and shounen ai were just sub categories? But then everyone thinks BL, yaoi and shounen ai are all completely different things ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
