The terms yaoi and Boy’s Love/BL both refer to manga that follow sexual/romantic relationships between two male characters. However, as a rule, yaoi manga always feature sexually explicit material, while Boy’s Love may or may not. Yaoi is largely considered an outdated term and has been primarily replaced with Boy’s Love within recent years. These terms are not to be confused with shounen-ai, a genre that focuses on the romantic relationship between boys, which emerged in early shōjo magazines during the 1970s. Although shounen-ai is also an outdated subgenre and term.

The term “Bara” used to refer to gay manga written by and for gay men back in the 80s, but that term has since been deemed outdated and inaccurate. Instead, manga that is specifically written by and for gay men are currently referred to as “geicomi”, “gei manga”, or “gay comics/manga”. Much like American romance novels, which are often written by women for women, mainstream, widely available yaoi/Boy’s Love have traditionally been written and designed by female manga artists for female readers. That being said, there have been plenty of queer mangaka who have been publishing their works for years through smaller distributors. Now it is much more common for mainstream, commerically available Boy’s Love and yuri manga to be written by and for queer readers of all ages and genders.

Gengoroh Tagame is a gay mangaka who has been publishing manga for queer magazines for decades. US manga readers are probably most familiar with his series, My Brother’s Husband.

Yuri, or Girl’s Love, is an umbrella term referring to any manga that features sexual/romantic love between females. Unlike yaoi, the amount of sexually explicit material in yuri manga varies from story to story, with some narratives focusing solely on romance without any sex. This means that one yuri manga can be an innocent romance while another can feature sexually explicit material. Yet both titles would be put under the yuri genre.

Often, Boy’s Love and yuri manga are categorized as LGBTQ+ manga because they feature same-sex couples; however, most, if not all, modern Boy’s Love and yuri manga focus strictly on the romance and sexual escapades of the leads and rarely, if ever, discuss queer issues or identity. Boy’s Love and yuri protagonists seldom refer to themselves or their partners as homosexual, or gay, queer, lesbian, bisexual, etc., nor do they typically explore the realities of living life as a queer person. This has been changing over the years with new titles and new trends, but it’s still something to keep in mind.

Terms and categories are frequently changing and altering as both creators, readers, and booksellers try to figure out what the most appropriate terminology for their work is. These “lines” separating Boy’s Love/Yuri from LGBTQ+ manga are mutable as mangaka will frequently cross over and work on whatever type of media suites their creative leanings.
