Shounen-ai

Shounen-ai (pronounced /So:nenai/) (from shounen, boy, and ai, love), refers to anime or manga that deals with love between teenage boys or young men, especially of the bishounen variety. Shounen-ai is usually thought of as less explicit or sexual than yaoi.

Shounen-ai is very popular in Japan, especially among schoolgirls and housewives, and is often to be found as part of shoujo anime or manga.
