Shonen Knife

The kick-ass all-girl j-rock band hailing from Osaka Japan. They formed in 1982.

shonen ai

Literally means "boy love." Slash with an emphasis on "awwww . . . cute!" Not to be confused with yaoi, which is graphic male/male porn. Shonen ai is generally fluffy and not particularly explicit.

I read the most adorable shonen ai Harry Potter fanfiction the other day . . . It was Lupin/Sirius, set in their school days. They were playing wizard chess and wound up kissing. Lupin is so cute when he blushes!

Shonen-ai means any type of manga or anime that has a boy-boy love story. Basically a gay love story for girls who like guys who like guys. Shonen-ai is a form of shoujo. Not to be confused with Yaoi which is gay hentai.

Gravitation is shonen-ai bacause it is a love story between two guys.
