Is this shounen ai or yaoi?? The tag is yaoi but they didn't even grace us a clear view of the kiss

    I know what you're asking about is "smut",
    there's no smut for China manhua (rare but possible for Taiwan manhua)

    Yaoi doesn't mean "smut".
    Shounen doesn't mean "suggestive".
    Tho many see <Yaoi> (romantic relationship between men) and expect sexual scene between men.

    Who told you that? I knew the difference since around 2008, and a yaoi, per Japanese standard where the all cultural phenomenon started, implies men doing explicit things. Shounen ai may be suggestive, but is very vanilla and blue balls. Author might quite boldy to suggest it, but things would be at best implicit. It sure does not mean sm-- neither the other means suggestive... but it is quite expected to some extend when you know what the umbrella term covers. Just saying.

    "It sure does not mean sm-- neither the other means suggestive... but it is quite expected"
    Exactly what I said. Not sure what was the difference that you want to highlight.
    Plus chapter 3 was enough to cement that this is Yaoi but there's no explicit smut and heavily censored. if someone's still asking if it's <Yaoi>, they're likely asking if there will be smut (not if it's Yaoi), hence my clarification.
    Else my answer to the question will be
    "Yes, this is Yaoi," but that wouldn't have answered what they really wanted to ask, would it? or are you saying this is 'shounen ai', if so I would have disagreed.

    [Not sure what was the difference that you want to highlight.
    Here, let me copy-paste: "Yaoi, per Japanese standard where the all cultural phenomenon started, implies men doing explicit things".

    OP clearly stated being concerned because they barely got to see a kiss scene, which is a fair suspicion.

    You are free to disagree. Chinese Yaoi sounds like an oxymoron to me.
