Hi, /cm/! Forgive me for intruding; I'm a /u/ resident largely. But I figured this would be the best place to ask.

What are your standard, stock-fare (non-pornographic) yaoi manga/anime series? I'm not talking your favourite couples, I'm not talking subtext (however extreme), and I'm not talking the shafted comedic side-characters. I'm talking the series that have it as a main focus, or at the very least have some degree of forwardness. (If you're familiar with yuri, the list we've got goes something like Marimite, StoPani, YamiBou, Kannazuki no Miko, Utena, Simoun, Kashimashi... and that's about it.)

Offhand I can think of Loveless and Gravitation, but as you can see I'm kind of ... lacking in knowledge. I'm curious because /u/ always bitches about a lack of "canon yuri"--but then I don't see a huge amount of "canon yaoi" either, heh.

Fake? They don't actually do anything until the end though... but I liked the cop partners story.

Not many series, regardless of characters' sexual orientations, really have characters that "do anything" till the very end anyway. That's also the third I could think of, but then I wasn't sure if it was just pornographic yaoi or not.

Any more?

You're correct in that there's a lack of much in either canon department (yaoi and yuri) but the first few boyslove related series that come to mind are Yami no Matsuei, Gakuen Heaven, Kyou Kara Maou (more on the light/implied side), Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shouganai! (aka SukiSho), Earthian, and so on. There are also OVA which are much more graphic in the vein of Sensitive Pornograph, Zetsuai, Boku no Sexual Harassment, Level C, Kizuna, Mirage of Blaze, Fake..

There are a few out there. I imagine there are sites out there like boysonboysonfilm.com that do a much more comprehensive listing and description than I do, and it has become more mainstream 'popular' to have a nod or implication of yaoi or yuri in a series. Hope that helps you somewhat.

There's definatley more OVA yaoi (Boku no Pico/Chico, Close the Last Door, Papa to Kiss in the Dark, Ai no Kusabi, Enzai - to add to the list above) out there then canon yaoi series (would Princess Princess be considered one?). The you have a whole genre which is perceived as slashable but not quite canon yaoi such as Meine Liebe, Meine Liebe Wieder, Weiss Kreuz, Peacemaker Kurogane, and that band one I can never remember the name of, to list a few.

Animal X. It's definitely the best BL/yaoi manga I've read, and very high up on my list of best manga overall. Very, very under-known though...

Honest curiosity here: is it still yaoi if the main character turns into a herm?
>> Anonymous
>>376662
Yeah, I was thinking I should've mentioned that too...

One "guy" is actually a hermaphodite (and even has a baby) but everything I've seen about it still refers to it as yaoi, so who knows. It's a very good read at any rate.

Ok we can stop here. Dickgirls automaticly disqualified from yaoi.

Hermaphrodite /= dickgirl.

It's not like it's porn or anything, and the hermaphroditism is handled realistically and seriously. And since he appears to be and identifies as a male it's not difficult to see why it's considered yaoi.

Vag00 + womb + pregnancy /= male even if it has penor. Geez I hope this thread not turn into some ridiculous mpreg ranting.

You are the one who is starting the bitching. Read Animal X before giving the accusations. Though the basis seems odd, the story really goes on like two men in love and can be seen as boy's love story.
