"danmei" is a Chinese word, used to describe a type (more like a genre) of fictional novel. Usually, the contents of danmei novels are high-rated and concentrated on describing the sexual relationship between two males (the similar meaning could be found in Japanese word "yaoi").

Danmei writters are mostly fangirls. Danmei is part of the Chinese literature culture in modern world, according to the fact that danmei novels are widely published and some writters of the genre become really famous among the readers.
"I've found some really interesting danmei today" - said a young fangirl to her friends.
