It's yaoi with no sex scene...you know they are lovers but they just don't show it.
That's so cool...... and your welcome....ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Right?! I got your sarcasm. This was far from smut and it barely counts as yaoi since a bare ass isn't considered risqué enough to be restricted. There are no genitals - censored or uncensored - were there? I don't remember any. And there was no explicit portrayals of a sex scene. Sex was implied and never actually shown. So, yeah, this qualifies as shounen ai by publishers standards.
It is kinda like the "All poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles" analogy. All yaoi is BL, but not all BL is yaoi. You can also compare yaoi/BL to wine/grape juice. They come from the same source - male homosexual romance/grapes - but one is restricted to adults - yaoi/wine - and the other is not restricted at all.
Don't feel bad. Sarcasm is difficult to distinguish in text because it is contextual and we are accustomed to distinguishing it through inflections in the voice when it is spoken. I only understood the OC because I was thinking the same thing when I happened to see the "smut" tag.
Finally! Someone understood what I actually meant(⌒▽⌒)
I may not be too good at words .... That the reason you didn't get it.(￣∇￣")
LOL When I saw the "smut" tag I was like, "Wait. Where? Did I miss something?!" But just in case my "sarcasm detector" wasn't working, I added explanations too. LOL
I was expecting it to turn out some "smut" in next chapter after every chapter and it ended(￣∇￣")
Don't you hate that?! You get all revved up for some smex and you get a naked butt at best! LOL
LOL! It's disappointing, I must say
If this is what you mean SMUT I wonder what's shounen ai is? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
