I mean, is the shoujo part just a little compared to the shounen-ai one? I'm asking this question because I'm not into shounen-ai or yaoi. But the rating of this manga is so high, so I want to make sure before I decide to skip it or read it >"< Thanks for your help.

It's a supernatural story about different worlds that happens to have two male leads, you should give it a try since is not yaoi(theres nothing explicit). The mangaka does a great job. Might as well judge for yourself ________________ "ITs so warm that, Before the snow has a chance to stick, He melts it for me." ... little things are the ones that still keeps me from giving up

From what I remember, there's not much action between them. Maybe some hand holding and/or hugging (there might be a smooch or two, but I honestly can't remember). It's been a while... You shouldn't avoid really stuff just because they're tagged shounen-ai. With so many additional genres, especially shoujo and supernatural, implies the loving is very tame. ________________ And if the world were black and white, you would be my rainbow in shades of grey.
