Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yaoi also known as Boys'' Love, is a popular Japanese term for female-oriented fictional media that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships, usually created by female authors. Originally referring to a specific type of d jinshi (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 d jinshi featuring idealized homosexual male relationships. The main characters in yaoi usually conform to the formula of the seme who pursues the uke. In Japan, the term has largely been replaced by the rubric Boys'' Love, which subsumes both parodies and original works, and commercial as well as d jinshi works. Although the genre is called Boys'' Love (commonly abbreviated as "BL"), the males featured are pubescent or older. Works featuring prepubescentboys are labeled shotacon, and seen as a distinct genre. Yaoi (as it continues to be known among English-speaking fans) has spread beyond Japan: both translated and original yaoi is now available in many countries and languages.
