Shōnen-ai / Yaoi
Shōnen-ai translates as "Boy-love".
When it comes to Shōnen-ai / Yaoi type of manga, personally.. I don't hate it... but I prefer different sex relationship type of love story. But since, these days this type of manga have been reading by manga lovers, we should give it a try. I've red some of this type of manga, honestly, I was shocked at first.lol. The fact that cute girls with short skirts screaming to any gorgeous boy-next-door at school didn't exist in this type of manga brings a lot different story. I forgot the title because I was not able to finish it. Admit it, the moment you flip through the pages, new philosophies were open. It was like, "Ow... in this new world, this story may exist..." or "It's not bad at all..."*blush*
I found it really cute, when.. yah... you know what I mean.. some petting.. and all. It is new... it is not a typical love story. That's the best description of this type of manga. You may hate it, love it, choose to ignore or be addicted to it. My tumblr account posted a poll regarding how many followers prefer yaoi and they are openly liked it. Almost all of them liked this type because it's not an ordinary manga. They often tired of shoujo/shonen genre. On the other side, some found it disgusting and not a good thing to see.
As third sex and same-sex relationships are mostly accepted by the society, no wonder, this topic is all over the internet and invaded all fields.
In this genre, usually boys appeared to be cute-looking guys with their guy friends who afterwards develop a different feeling over each other. Because almost all of the characters are cute, we can't helped it. We also loved them both as they become soft and caring for each other. What we see is their softer side.
To conclude it all, it is not bad to read this kind of manga. As long as, we are open to new story and plots. It may affect your life, philosophies and reading preference for I terribly believe how things we read can influences us. We can better understand the third sex in this society if we give it a chance to affect us through this piece of art.
ps. honestly, im shy to talk regarding this matter.lol. *blush*
