Male who likes/loves reading yaoi (manga which depicts romantic and/or sexual relationships between males). Counterpart to the female fujoshi. Often also refers to males shipping other males (and sometimes females) in anime and manga,

A boy who enjoys yaoi. This word is commonly misunderstood for a boy who enjoys Yuri (a boy who enjoys Yuri would be called a himedanshi, which literally means princess-boy). Literal translation of Fudanshi is “rotten boy”. Although it has originated from negative sources, the word has been reclaimed.
Person 1: Wow, he reads yaoi? Is he gay?
Person 2: No, he’s straight. He’s probably just a fudanshi.
