shounen ai

Bunneah was half right, but the prepubesent boys genre is refurred to as Syouta (Shota to American fans)

Shounenai, like Tanbi, is no longer written. It was replaced by BL (Boys' Love) which are much more likely to have happy endings & have less drama.

Japanese girls will litteraly roll their eyes at you if they hear you say shounenai ai instead of BL.
