Yaoi

Tragic endings were, and still are popular with Boy’s Love sagas. Abusive scenes where the lead characters suffer are a way for the readers to identify with them. The characters have to deal with the fallout of their romantic encounters and other unexpected scenarios. However, it’s not all doom and gloom as happy conclusions are depicted as well.

What does Yaoi or BL mean?

Yaoi commonly known as Boy’s Love (BL), is a genre that emerged from Japan’s doujinshi manga scene during the 70’s. It challenges heteronormativity because it focuses primarily on intimate relationships between male characters. Interestingly enough, it is a genre consumed predominantly by a female audience. But it would be wrong to assume that only females are drawn to Yaoi, as there are a growing number of male fans of the genre.

Let’s delve deeper into the genre to see what makes it so compelling. We’ll cover some genre tropes and look into a few notable works.

Bad title

The requested page title is invalid. It may be empty, contain unsupported characters, or include a non-local or incorrectly linked interwiki prefix. You may be able to locate the desired page by searching for its name (with the interwiki prefix, if any) in the search box.

Possible causes are:

• an attempt to load a URL such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/| (the | character is unsupported);
• an attempt to load a URL pointing to a «non-local» interwiki page (usually those not run by the Wikimedia Foundation). For example, the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/meatball:WikiPedia will give this error, because the «meatball:» interwiki prefix is not marked as local in the interwiki table. Certain interwiki prefixes are marked as local in the table. For example, the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/meta:Main_Page can be used to load meta:Main_Page. All interlanguage prefixes are marked as local, and thus URLs such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr:Accueil will work as expected. However, non-local interwiki pages can still be accessed by interwiki linking or by entering them in the search box. For example [[meatball:WikiPedia]] can be used on a page, like this: meatball:WikiPedia.

TV, 2014 Finished 10 eps , 23 min

With an actress mother, producer father, and rockstar brother, anyone would expect Izumi Sena to eventually enter showbiz himself. However, aside from a commercial for a wedding magazine when he was a child, Izumi has never been in the spotlight; instead, he aims to become a manga artist. But a decade after the shoot, the magazine calls for a 10th anniversary ad, requesting the original child actors for the project. This reunites Izumi with Ryouma Ichijou, now a popular actor who, much to Izumi’s shock, has been in love with him ever since their first meeting! However, due to Izumi’s feminine appearance and unisex name, Ryouma believed the boy was a girl and continues to do so to this day. Izumi’s troubles are just beginning, because even after discovering the truth, Ryouma can’t seem to shake off his feelings. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
