Yaoi

Also known as Boy's Love, BL, gay romance, and so on.

Compare and contrast to yuri.

People usually use yaoi to mean anime porn of two guys. But I think yaoi can be 2+ boys, 2+ girls, any number of guys and girls, or 2+ unknown entities that have spawned in your biome. What are they doing? Who knows. Doesn't have to be porn. Maybe they're really good friends. Or maybe they play tonsil hockey with each other at 3am.

It doesn't even have to be in anime style (whatever that means) - though some western otaku may insist yaoi must be drawn in a certain art style they associate with the East Asian cartoons they pirate.

Okane Ga Nai is just as yaoi as Breaking Bad. If you disagree you are a weeb.

• Smirking Seme: Smirking portrays dominance/satisfaction in the situation, and people often associate dominance with being the penetrator.
  • Can and should be reversed into Smirking Uke.
• Suit Seme: This stereotype comes from the perceived professional look and power that an anglo-style business suit gives the wearer - which people may associate with a dominant personality, and dominant personalities are associated with being the “active” partner in bed. Suit seme tend to be evil rich businessmen, rather than middle-class salarymen.
  • Can be reversed into Suit Uke, which can touch balls with evil uke.

• Dear My Killer Tune by Iyada - Fanboy x Idol: younger cuter seme, older seductive musician uke
• Twittering Birds Never Fly by Kou Yoneda - 🔞 Bodyguard x Yakuza boss: younger masculine seme, older slutty uke. Has anime adaptation.
• Everything for Demon King Evelogia by Io Kaziwara - 🔞 Demon King x Bodyguard: Younger cuter seme, older taller seductive otaku uke. Light isekei into fantasy RPG elements. Has anime adaptation.
• Caressing the Nipples of My Hibernating Bear by Haruchika - 🔞 Adopted Dog x Mommy Bear: Younger seme, older muscular uke. Has anime adaptation.
• Ai No Kusabi - 🔞 a classic OVA. Older, taller, long haired seme, younger butch uke. Shane says Iason should have bottomed. The 1990's one is better than the 2000's one IMO.
• Monster and The Beast by Renji - 🔞 Innocent Monster x slutty old man uke.

So when people ask “did you read this yet” I can say “yeah but–”

• Madk by Ryo Suzuri - Starts as younger seme x slutty demon uke, then he has to bottom when he goes to hell 😔 Good art.

• (1989) Be-Boy Kidnapp'n Idol: Non-explicit. Short 30 minute OVA, shallow characters, and the story is literally just an Idol getting kidnapped while his butch friend saves him. But it's fun because it's set in the 80's and I like the 80's flavored art and music. And it's that exact slice of “well, this sure was yaoi!” in the way that someone wrote this and was like “yep, this is yaoi”.
