Anime or Manga meant to break your heart, filled with love triangles, betrayals, and darkness. Filled with bishounen, and required by japanese law to have at least one shounen-ai relationship in the series.
Despite being male, I read a good deal of shoujo manga because of the interesting angst-filled plotlines.

Anime, manga, or fanfic that depicts non-explicit lesbian relationships. Usually focuses on the romantic/ loving/ emotional side of the relationship, unlike yuri which focuses on the passionate/ lustful/ physical side. Usually no more than PG-13 rated.
Most people who are not against homosexuality would have no problem with their kids seeing shoujo-ai.

A great and wholesome anime. It is about a man who owns a candy shop and meets lots of new people. This anime was an emotional rollercoaster. Watch it with your family.

n. pl. light of unknown origin radiating from the forms of female characters in shoujo manga, so as to designate their inherent inner (and possibly outer) beauty. A relative of the Bishounen Tailwind phenomenon, in which pretty, androgynous boys in anime are followed by a constant breeze that causes their hair and/or clothes to ripple at appropriate moments of drama.

A type of anime/manga dealing with girl x girl love. As shounen ai is about boys in love, shoujo ai is about girls in love. Not hentai
The love of Tenjou Utena and Himemiya Anthy, from the series Revolutionary Girl Utena, is an example of a shoujo ai-type relationship.
