Yaoi (Boy-love manga)
Yaoi, aka shonen-ai or BL (Boy Love) manga, are cartoon magazines featuring homosexual relationships. The main characters are usually bishonen (”beautiful boys”) - slender, effeminate young men.
They often use famous characters from popular anime, manga and computer games, making yaoi similar to “slash fiction” (erotica featuring fictional male characters, i.e. Kirk/Spock) in the West.
Surprisingly, most of the readers and writers are female. The magazines are especially popular among schoolgirls and housewives.
