Shiiiitttt....no no no! I didn't mean to mark your post as 'annoying'.Sorry!!!!!

Hahahah, it's okay :) .

I mean, look at this page! They don't even look human! http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/itoshi_no_mirai_kun/nbt/itoshi_no_mirai_kun-chapter-3/pg-1/16/ XD

(though to be fair, looking at this artists' other works, her art seems to have improved dramatically. So, that's kinda cool. seeing an artist grow.)

It's tagged as Shounen Ai, we're not hating on the story but it's like a scam lol. If I want to read Shoujo I will directly go read it, they need to edit the tag.

Well, they won't change if it nobody flags/reports it. (just click the flag icon on the side) I've had them change a bunch of mislabeled manga in the past fairly easily.

That said, I'm not positive on changing this one or not. Main kid and dude do have some chemistry, even if they don't end up together. And I do feel the kid does like Fox-guy. Hmmmmmmm, it's difficult to say.

It's more like strong friendship, but as a lover the fox guy is already happily married

Some of them stuff on this site is incorrectly tagged so I wouldn't look too much into it. The tag could have been put up by someone who wanted shounen ai. According to Baka updates which is very reliable this is in fact not shounen ai and its completed at one volume.

All manga websites tag this as Shounen-ai genre. So I hope there'll be vol.2, 3.. - Even pairing Blab-boy x Their Son is also fine for me. (>‿O)v

There was another manga to the same author where the 2 don't end up together and one of them gets married. It was a good Shounen-Ai nevertheless.

There's no kiss, hug, confession, or anything between them in the later chapters tho. You could argue there is more shounen ai moments in Naruto than this and Naruto isn't even shounen ai.

LOL

To be fair, beside being grumpy...he was a jerk, he played dirty in a fight, he hit XiXI in the head with a rock, but he is a guy, sometimes they deal with pain and frustration being stupid (I don't hate REd)

He probably got was too excited during the fight and did it without thinking (probably who knows right) ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

yes, I agree he probably did it impulsively. Actually, I think he was afraid of XiXi in that moment...

Well sometime life takes an unexpected turn. You'll get to love a person not based by gender but for who they are.

Exactly! I think that's the point they're trying to make ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

I think most of them are about "The first gay partner I have" ot about first experience as gay. that's why it's "only homo for YOU!" xD

It's called the GFY theme. Gay for You. It is actually a category in gay romance.

Lol. Why am I not surprised? I've seen quite a few manga that fall into that category. Kinda unrealistic. But some authors make it work

more like can yaoi manga recognize bisexuality is a thing... Seriously =____=

at least senpai is bi

Is he? He's a seke, I know that much.

Honestly though, I really like that kind of story more. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ but well, as long as there's love in yaoi mangas, then I don't mind. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄

Havnt u heard of "heteroflexible"? It's that whole ideology about "im straight but shit happens!" ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I really wish could acknowledge the queer spectrum, like maybe they don't have words for demiromantic/demisexual or pan or bi but I'm sure they could still explain and give better character instead of the usual crap. Since so often these characters fit into these categories and it is irritating how it often plays out

I kinda have an explanation for this. When I was in university I read a book called Homosexuality in Japan which had a chapter on BL. According to the book, women read BL because it's a form of subversion. In BL, the characters are usually bishounen--beautiful boys--and often, they are androgynous. That way, women can relate to them and project their ideal selves to the characters. The world is still pretty much a man's world where men enjoy more privileged than women. In BL, women can project their ideal selves onto the uke, who, as a man, is equal to the object of their affection. I think most characters in BL have this 'no-homo-except-for-you' thing because it makes the lover really feel special. So if the reader projects herself onto the character, it gives her a sense of peace that the lover will not look at anyone but her. Am I making sense? Hahaha ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

I guess I misunderstood the sentence "I can lean both ways" here http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tomodachi_ijou_no_koto_shitai/nbt/e34d03533d8fa08c/Vol1_Ch6/14/

He meant it the way you got it. Damn, I wanted so much a bisexual character that I made it myself.. ╥﹏╥

Goodness! I didn't think this topic would get so many replies! Guess it was something many of you were sorta thinking about as well huh? One way or the other.
