I wanted a situation where a boy turns into girl and falls in love with another guy(because for some reason their sexuality changes too) but it seems that this book would have just been a waste of time since I'm not interested in seeing the boys fall in love with other girls... I'm upset but from the pictures it seems the art got worse anyways(well... In my opinion) Thank you to everyone that informed me of the ending and sorry to those who were also disappointed or love this book(and its ending). But to all of you I hope happiness elsewhere or again.
So, uh... Is there a difference between BL and Yaoi? It's the same right? I kind of just want a straight answer instead of getting different ones. Is it that Yaoi is more graphic? Please just a simple, straight, answer...
BL focuses more on the romatic side of the relationship while yaoi focuses more on the sexual side so you could say theyre kind of the same but BL usually wont be as graphic as yaoi can be
Thank you
In Japan, BL means both yaoi and shounen-ai. Any manga with two main male characters who fall in love with each other is referred to as BL. When I went to Japan to meet my cousin, she said no one actually says "yaoi" or "shounen ai" so it's more of a "west thing" she said. The normal term is BL because shounen ai is literally japanese for Boy (shounen) Love (Ai).
But outside Japan where Yaoi and Shounen Ai aren't used interchangeably, Yaoi is more hardcore and Shounen Ai more fluffy. But really, they're both categorized under BL.
"West Thing" that's hilarious. Anyways thank you, I think I understand now
BL is literally 'Boys' love'.. Basically it's like a superset and its subsets are - 'Yaoi' ,'Shonenai', 'Doujinshi' etc..
Isnt a Doujinshi a "manga created by a fan" ?
Yeahh but doujinshi is actually about a story based on 2 people.. Doujinshi can be between guy girl or guyguy or girl girl.
Doujinshi is not a subset of BL, it's just fanmade or self-published work. Just like fanfiction or fanart. Doujinshi doesn't necessarily have to be about a couple and romance. It can also be about one person. Maybe you've only read BL-type doujinshi?

Noo i just thought it is like fanfiction but only with 2 characters..And I have rarely read shojo doujinshis..But have reds in yaoi or yuri where they alre like about one couple..So thought it was that way
No problem haha I used to think DJs were also only BL til I found some cardcaptor sakura dj
I love her! I LOVE HER!!! More than the fucking dog!! It doesn't matter how cruel, or insane, or angry(or kind of dumb) she is!!! I love Akito so much the love won't go!!! Why!? Nobody likes her, but I love her with all my heart! She cursed me some how!!!
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the ending to each chapter feels abrupt. It's like the chapter just stops suddenly and it's kind of unsatisfying. I really hope the series won't end like that
The way femininity and masculinity was portrayed I was afraid people wouldn't like this manga but... It was so fucking hilarious I loved it!!!! This made me feel some weird emotion I cannot Identify!!!! I'd like to thank the author for this book, I really should have not judged it by its cover like I did before. I'm just happy I gave in.
Well based on the first chapter it seems the protagonist has was a guy who one day woke up as a girl and this manga looks a lot like hentai... Read at your own expense
Do they end up together in the other series!? Cause I'm at the point of Usotsuki Lily where I'm getting a preview about a love story between Taiyou and some girl. That made me sad but if He ends up with Ten-kun I'm going to be so fucking happy!!!!
This is the continuation of usotsuki lily so what you read here is a main plot >.<
I'M NOT INTO BOYS LOVE!!! Fuck, I didn't notice the shounen AI label... I mean as long as he is a girl I don't care(only because two guys don't excite me at all) but David kept doing things to Marlo when he was a guy and it was pissing me off(cause to me it's just not fun, I'm just not into it, even though I thought I could be, I'm not. There were just some rare cases I guess) I decided to look at the genres again and there it was! This is in fact Shounen AI or maybe it's not!!!! IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT THOUGH!!!!! Damn... It's just not fun when it's two guys(for me at least)
i mean it did say shounen ai in the tags but oh well ╮(￣▽￣)╭
