Spoilers???? And can I ask what's the difference between .. yaoi and shounen ai ...I thought it's the same thing ?
Have not read this, but I heard that this author generally omit sexual scenes. And I have read one of the famous novels of her. At least in that she never explicitly wrote those scenes. She generally wrote things like "then they spend a wonderful night together" etc. to imply those though. I don't know if this kind of content qualify for yaoi.
I usually remove the Yaoi genre from ones that have things going off screen or just mentions of the deed like these. It really just depends on the members who edit the details and their sensitivity to anything BL. There are people who tag everything that has a whiff of malexmale relationship as yaoi, even though the characters doesn't even go and do anything smutty. Again, it's up to the members' sensitivity on these things.
Thanks for the poke @alexfilia! Been busy the last few days since I had friends who came over for a short vacation. I only managed to get on my computer now since they caught their flight earlier today. Hmm, so no spoilers on this yet? I'll take a read on it at some point.
It's BL (shonen ai) with no smut, just relationship. That's my guess from the tag lol. But I really need more info cause the synopsis was vague enough.
