One of the most widely read and watched types of Japanese fiction is Yaoi. Furthermore, this genre is gaining worldwide attention.
Yaoi is short for “non-heterosexual romance,” and it’s used to describe relationships between male characters in manga and anime.
While Shonen series tend to dominate the top manga, yaoi also features heartfelt, steamy romances focusing on queer love.
