What
is Yaoi?
Yaoi (やおい) A.k.a. Boys' Love is a Japanese popular term
for female-oriented fictional media (Anime/Manga)
that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships. Originally
referring to a specific type of dōjinshi
(self-published works) parody of
mainstream anime and manga works, yaoi came to be used as a generic term for female-oriented manga, anime, dating sims, novels and
dōjinshi featuring idealized homosexual male relationships. The main
characters in yaoi usually conform to the formula of the seme (攻め "attacker")
who pursues the uke (受け"receiver"). In Japan,
the term has largely been replaced by the rubric Boys' Love (ボーイズラブ
Bōizu Rabu), which subsumes both parodies and original works, and
commercial as well as dōjinshi
works. Although the genre is called Boys'
Love (commonly abbreviated as
"BL"), the males featured are pubescent or older. Works featuring
prepubescent boys are labeled shotacon,
and seen as a distinct genre.
Reasons
why I like Yaoi
- Uniqueness: For me unique ang story/plot ng bawat yaoi manga na nabasa at anime na napanuod ko na.
- There’s true love: it made me realize that true love exists between two persons with the same gender. Sabi nga sa isang English BL story na nabasa ko, “A man can love a man the same way a man can love a woman!” Oha…
- Papables: Maraming yummylicious doon haha echos… Pero seriously sa mga Yaoi stories na nabasa ta napanuod ko puro mga gwapo ang mga lead characters. Yun na!
- Inspired: Well, reading yaoi made me… gave me ideas how to write “aherm” scenes… Alam na!
- Kilig Factor: Ewan ko ba pero pag nababasa/nanunuod ako nun ay kilig to the bones ako sa mga eksena at linya… Ayeeeii!
