Shonen Ai VS

I see a lot of people throwing around the word and I'm beginning to think that no one knows the actual meaning.

is the Japanese word used to describe to males 'doing it'. Yes. It is

Shonen Ai is the Japanese term used for 'male/boy love'. It is about a male relationship that doesn't talk about .

Just. Please remember this. It is the same for Yuri and Shojo Ai. If your fic/what you're talking about is male love and not gay , it is Shonen Ai NOT .

Thank you.

Thank you! People think =boys love but they are so off with that ^^; When I first got into this fandom, I was confused to on the two terms but I eventually learned that there is a difference :3 Now I make sure to tag my stories properly ^^

hoohoo finally i find the one who know about it XD, in otaku dictionary the and shonen ai is different. The story flow in is focus on , even the story is not the most important, but that 'bed scene' is the most important. The level from the lowest is shonen ai and then the highest is .

Right?! Ah thank you! Some people just don't get it.
Like when people improperly use Uke and Seme.
