Insuccubus

An attractive naturally bisexual hermaphrodytic creature that feeds off human sexual energy. Not concidered a demon. Commonly mistaken for a Taotieh/Totetsu in human form in Asia.

Picture Nightcrawler form X-man with milk white skin, golden Kudu horns, & make him as androgynous as a Japanese rock star, & that desribes the appearence.

shounenai

Retro term once used in Japan to depics softcore romantic relationships between men, aimed for women's entertainment (& not for mockery either). Some people who have touble adjusting or reading Japanese or staying updated still call it Shounenai, but now it's called BL.

Go to Google.om, switch settings to Japanese language only, type in BL. You'll gets tons & tons of links. For you buffs who know katakana & cut-&-paste, try adding wods like gallery & illust for picture BL sites.

Eroica.

Eroica Yori Ai wo Komette is one of the few mangas that can be classified as both shounenai & BL because of how long it's been in publication. Starting in 1978 & still being written to this day.

When writer Aoike Yasuko took a long break in the 90s doing gawd knows what, she picked the story up again with a different art style. She actually managed to convert her art from retro to modern (sadly), & the fans still wait to see if Dorian will ever get Klaus, hoping to heck it doesn't end abruptly like her amazingly funny series; Ibu no Musukotachi.

If you're a BL/shounenai/retro manga fan, you've GOT to add her stuff to your collection!

BL

In Japan, BL is the "modern" term for Shounenai, deffinition meaning "Boys love."

No matter how you spell it, english or kanji, you will get NOTHING on shounenai on a Japanese search engine, save dead sites refurring to retro mangas from the 70s & 80s.
