Boys Love

Commonly just BL is the replacement for Shounenai. Americans seem to have difficulty telling the difference, so here it is.

SA: The men are always effeminate both in appearence & personality, gay men didn't like it much, & unhappy endings were common. Contrary to perhaps even my own previous postings, this art is not COMPLETELY dead, some shounenai slips through the press. If it's new & fots this description, it's still shounenai.

BL: These days the men are more masculine both in looks & tude, gay men like it too, it's usually less dramatic, more sexual, & tends to end happily.
Shounenai: Ibu no Musukotachi, Kaze to Ki no Uta, & anything else from the 70s & early 80s.

Boyslove: Ai no Kusabi, BNSH, Gravitation, Fake, Ja-Dou, Psycho Blast.

Border line: Anything that lived through both periods. For example, Patalirro, Zetsuai, & Eroica are STILL being written & have made distinct changes to fit the times.

love

i think love is when u find someone u can be urself with, share anythin...like best friends, love is when u cant even imagine what ur life would be like without that other person and when words dont come close to how ur heart really feels and even though it doesnt make sense to other people, u know ur meant to be together and u spend all night thinkin about that person and in the mornin u've never felt more rested, its like u have to grab onto somethin cos it feels like ur body is about to float away
Theres no example for love, its an overwhelming feeling, u just know when ur in love when the words "i love you" pops out ur mouth

when i love him regardless of how he may treat me. When several other hot guys like me, but my heart is only set on him. when i know that he doesnt care, yet i care and miss him so much. when all i can think about is kissing him and being with him although he's half way across the US, i still get butterflies when i think about him.
