i really can't tell what time period this story is set in so somethings doesn't make sense, if it is set in the late 90s then the royal family shouldn't have that much power
I watch porn and i read hentai and i am not ashamed of that but it annoys me when people call yaoi porn when it is not. By the way those who call yaoi porn without plot, there is no such thing as porn without plot, they are just called porn there is however something call porn with plot but i don't feel that yaoi really fit into that category as not all yaoi are hardcore, i have read many yaoi that just hint at sex and do not really show them having sex (i personally prefer the hardcore ones but that is just my taste)
i am going to be that person, this is how yaoi is defined by wiki:
"Yaoi,[nb 1] also known as Boys' Love, is a Japanese genre of fictional media focusing on homoerotic romantic or sexual relationships between male characters, aimed at a female audience and usually created by female authors. Although yaoi is primarily aimed at a female audience, the genre also attracts some male readers; however Bara, manga aimed at a gay male audience, is considered a separate genre.
The main characters in yaoi usually conform to the formula of the seme (top, or dominant figure) who pursues the uke (bottom, or passive figure). Material classified as yaoi typically depicts gay relationships between attractive male characters, and may include erotic content. Although the yaoi genre is also called Boys' Love (commonly abbreviated as BL), the characters may be of any age above puberty, including adults. Works featuring prepubescent boys are labelled shotacon, and seen as a distinct genre.
Yaoi derives from two sources; in the early 1970s, shōjo (girl's) manga magazines published tanbi (aesthetic) stories, also known as shōnen ai (boy love), featuring platonic relationships between young boys. The other influence began in the dōjinshi (fan fiction) markets of Japan in the late 1970s as yaoi, a sexualized parody of popular shōnen (boy's) manga and anime stories. In the late 1970s, shōjo magazines devoted to the new genre began to appear, and in the 1990s the wasei-eigo term Boys' Love or BL was invented for the genre, which replaced earlier terms such as tanbi, shōnen ai and Juné in Japanese usage.
In Japan, the term yaoi continues to refer mainly to parody dōjinshi; among Western fans, however, yaoi is used as a generic term for female-oriented manga, anime, dating sims, novels and fan fiction works featuring idealized homosexual male relationships. The genre has spread beyond Japan, and both translated and original yaoi works are now available in many countries and languages." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi
hardcore yaoi are better than porn or hentai. Since porn or hentai focus on the femal body :P
Thanks for the def you are the best... or wiki ^^
you are so right i will pick hardcore yaoi any day, any time over porn or hentai. lol
It's not that yaoi is porn without plot, it's more that it's expected to have porn at some point within the story, unlike shounen-ai.
"The terms yaoi and shōnen-ai are sometimes used by Western fans to differentiate between two variants of the genre. In this case, yaoi is used to describe titles that primarily feature sexually explicit themes and sex scenes, while shōnen-ai is used to describe titles that focus primarily on romance and omit explicit sexual content, although sexual acts may be implied.[26][27][28] According to this use of the terms, Gravitation would be considered shōnen-ai due to its focus on the characters' careers rather than their love life, while the Gravitation Remix and Megamix dōjinshi by the same author, in which the characters' sexual relationships are emphasized, would be classified as yaoi."

they dont really fokus on the female body though. the ones ive seen so far was always the girl sucking of the guy and then penetration without further foreplay. i dont really like them. yaoi are best
i like the first and last story but i really did not get the second story, its not that it was confusing or anything i just did not get the main character. i don't get when character self-blame or take on responsibility that has nothing to do with them.
the black hair girl piss me off so much. I want to feel bad for her since her boyfriend is such an asshole but i just can't. she is so stupid, like why are you with him- being with him is just like saying she is ok with whatever he does to her. fuck her for making my gender seem so weak and stupid
agreed
I forced myself to finish this manga and i really wish i didn't since my feeling did not change at all. The boy was clueless (way too clueless) and the girl was way too stubborn about her love for him. They don't even seem compatible. He is stupid, clueless, and carefree while she is smart, stubborn, emotional, serious, and observant. I know they say opposite attract but sometimes it end in disasters and this seem to be one of the cases
i really love this manga, all the character seemed so true to themselves which i respect
I love this manga so much. This manga is definitely not one of those stories that you read when you were a kid and love but when you get older, you start questioning yourself. I first read this manga when i was 16 and loved it, read it again when i was 18 and loved it. i am now 21 and i still love it, will probably always love it as long as i love mangas.
by the way fuck Kira's mother
i have read this manga many times and i still found Akira's reaction to his father in the end unbelievable. I understand that there are some forgiving people out there but come on, Akira's is just unbelievable. I am not saying that he should have killed him but at least destroy him but to just forgive him after his weak ass reasoning for his actions that is just too much. I can understand respecting the wish of his lover while she was alive but after she died all his actions afterward is just fucked up. what is the most unforgivable or should i say unacceptable is the fact that he was willing to have Akira sleep with a business partner to get a contract
Mm..
I think he might have done it for his little brother, though..
Perhaps, since Nao was still so young, Akira wanted him to have a father growing up..
Of course I don't know this for sure, but that's what I want to believe, because, as you stated, the father had done some unforgivable things, especially the 'whoring' of his son..
Akira may not have forgiven their father, but for his beloved little brother, who knows not of any of the wrongdoings, except for the neglectful behaviour on their and their mother's part, and so is an innocent kid who deserves to have a father in his life.. ?
Well, something like that..
? ^^"
I agree with pretty much all of that, especially the part where he has his kid or wants him to sleep with a client. I think the guy is a little fake. And the author didn't portray him correctly.
why did it end there, there really should be another chapter or at least make the oneshot longer
