* ''[[Chintsubu]]'' is a manga about boys with talking penises.
* ''[[The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese]]''
* ''[[Corsair]]'' has [[
* ''[[Crimson Spell]]'' is a hybrid of [[Heroic Fantasy]] and Boys' Love.
* ''[[The Demian Syndrome]]''
Line 34:
* ''[[Endless World]]'' has drugs, sex, and {{spoiler|suicide}}.
* ''[[FAKE]]'' takes the [[Ho Yay]] inherent in the [[Buddy Cop Show]] dynamic to its inevitable conclusion.
* The ''[[Finder Series]]'': [[Angst
* ''[[Fish in the Trap]]''
* [[Fujisaki Kou]] is a BL author with roughly a third of her works occuring in the same [[Verse]]. These currently include:
Line 79:
* ''[[Mirage of Blaze]]''
* ''[[Off Beat]]'': One of the few [[OEL Manga]] examples.
* ''[[Okane ga Nai]]'': One of the more explicit and violent ones, around the themes [[If I Can't Have You]] and the [[Stockholm Syndrome]]. Stands out for being one the few
* ''[[Papa to Kiss in the Dark]]''
* ''[[Patalliro]]''! An early and long-running satirical manga (1979 ? ongoing) and a rare example of a shounen-ai series by a male mangaka. Also one of the first BL-flavored anime to be produced for television (in 1983-84).
Line 157:
* This is pretty much the premise of ''[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2718227/1 Fragile]''.
== Works commonly mistaken for
=== Anime & Manga ===
* ''[[07-Ghost|Zero Seven Ghost]]'' frequently dances right on the edge of this trope without coming right out and saying it. Teito and Mikage's relationship teases at it, and Kuroyuri and Haruse darn near imply it. Not to mention Hakuren's outright statement that he does "not like women", with a couple of exceptions. C'mon, if you don't take it THAT way, you're dense.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. Despite being a major [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]] and having ''two'' not [[Will They or Won't They?|entirely]] confirmed canon male-on-male pairings ([[Opposites Attract|Germany×Italy]] and [[Ho Yay|Sweden×Finland]] if you ask, not to mention the [[Ship Tease]] with [[Dogged Nice Guy|Spain]]×[[Hair-Trigger Temper|Romano]], [[Love Freak|America]]×[[Only Sane Man|England]], [[Birds of a Feather|GreecexJapan]], etc., the story doesn't revolve around those relationships and [[Yaoi Fangirl
* [[CLAMP]] loves [[Yaoi Guys]] and [[Ho Yay]] (they have their own [[CLAMP/Ho Yay|Ho Yay page]]), but so far they have not published any official Boys' Love. CLAMP works that are particularly yaoi-esque include:
** The currently suspended series ''[[Legal Drug]]'' which is essentially a very slow-moving Boys' Love story.
Line 179:
* ''[[Loveless]]'' was originally published in Monthly Comic Zero Sum, a magazine that was looking for crossover shonen/shoujo readership (although it has since turned into a shoujo mag), so it's not officially considered BL. It has the added bonuses of [[Nekomimi]], [[Shotacon]], and a pair of [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]. Not to mention all the [[Nightmare Fuel]] and [[Mind Screw]].
* ''[[Monochrome Factor]]'' is ridden with pretty boys and [[Ho Yay]] in the anime and is sometimes labelled as a shounen-ai even though it's officially a seinen.
* Manga sites often mistakenly tag ''[[Nabari no Ou]]'' as BL. You can't [http://www.mangareader.net/683-33517-40/nabari-no-ou/chapter-42.html really] [[media:
* Rare [[Shonen]] example of a male-male romance: ''[[No Bra]]'', a [[Manga]] where a guy falls in love with a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]].
* ''[[No. 6]]'' does this with Nezumi and Shion. Things essentially get more [[Ho Yay]] fueled with every episode/chapter including a "good-night kiss" and a "good-bye kiss". It has fans that always ask whether it's a shounen-ai or not. It's really a shoujo/shounen series. The novel was written by Asano Atsuko an infamous writer of BL-ish novels she claims are 'children's books'.
Line 189:
* ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]'' mostly have males in the cast, very occupied in confess their [[Ho Yay|mutual admiration]] for each other and even have a pet dragon called "Sodom". Several sites tag this series as shounen ai but officially is shoujo.
* ''[[Vassalord]]'' features hot gay vampires licking each other, and on-screen kinky gay sex. It's officially [[Shoujo]].
* The four [[Bishonen]] protagonists of ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' and their [[Psycho Rangers|opposite numbers]] are all canonically heterosexual, but their status as terminal [[Doom Magnet
* ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' (aka ''Descendants of Darkness'') has a rather complicated [[Love Dodecahedron]] involving most (male) main characters, but focuses mainly on the love/hate [[Love Triangle|triangle]] between the psychopath Doctor Muraki, Tsuzuki Asato, and Kurosaki Hisoka. It's officially [[Shoujo]].
* ''Adekan'' by Tsukiji Nao, is a historical shoujo manga set in the Meiji era, featuring Yoshiwara Shiro, a sexy umbrella maker with a distinct hatred of underwear, and Yamada Kojiro, an uptight but kind-hearted police officer. It is especially notable for its impossibly detailed art, as well as the sheer quantity of steaming Fanservice and innuendo. It's so blatant that the series could almost be considered as a BL on its own, though it never crosses that line.
