This field has been locked by an administrator on 01/13/09

Reason:
There is no yaoi situation to speak of in 7 chapters = NOT yaoi.
Shonen ai, yeah.


Haha, that is sooo funny. Because there is no Sex in the first chapters, it can't be Yaoi? Why? There are so many other Mangas/Mahwas out there, which have no yaoi situation in the first few chapters or even volumes, but later on and they are labeled yaoi.

What do you folks think? Where is the line between shonen ai and yaoi?

Go read the genres description section for the fine line.

As for the other part, you yourself answered it,

At the present it's just shonen ai, similar to tragedy series where even if there are plenty of tragic events throughout the series it can't be said clearly it's a tragedy until the story's end.

Also these things aren't always set in stone. You can always submit a change request when it hit the yaoi point or if you can provide a good enough explanation as to why it is absolutely critical to include the yaoi tag.

Sure it can.
But 7 chapters have passed with no yaoi.
So it's not a yaoi yet. If/when they fuck, the admin will change it.

This manga should stay closed regardless.
Many have molested the genre area of this title, even putting "historical" to it. And this is why it's locked.

Really, don't sweat over it. :3

I believe that administrator was correct. Having not read this manga, I cannot speak for the series in particular, but there does actually have to be sex for a series to technically be yaoi...

Yaoi is classified as a series with explicit sexual situations present in the manga or anime. o_o Shounen-ai, however, is classified as a series that simply has a stated male x male relationship as its base.

Likewise, Yuri is to Yaoi what Shounen-ai is to Shoujo-ai. If there aren't explicit sexual situations present in the series, it's probably going to be Shounen-ai or Shoujo-ai rather than their more explicit counterparts.

In comparison, it's a lot like Shoujo and Smut. You'll see romance and perhaps some borderline moments (or even those sort of scenes might happen, but be merely implied or carefully drawn to avoid showing anything explicit in a shoujo, but in a Smut series, those scenes are more than just implied or censored.

I'm not a fan of the explicit genres, though, so I can't speak for any particular series.

Well, there were sexual situations, but maybe that was not 'clearly' enough, because there was no actual fucking...yet. *shrug* I just don't think that it is that important. When people label it yaoi and there isn't some till the end, than you can change it back any time you want. It's no big deal.

It is just quite amusing, that is all.

Haha. Really?
People are sure stupid, they should read a Manga first, bevor they randomly add anything.

Yeah, well...
You can, but people kept messing around with it.

I'm still waiting for the sex... Maybe others hoped as well, so they changed it~

Ahhh, me too. It is the best work from this Mangaka.

I hope my country is going to publish it. (We already have works from her. That is a goog sign, isn't it?)

We lock genres because people keep changing them. And well, the genre for this particular series has changed like 10 times...We get pissed at that, you know?

There's some adult sex scenes depicting boy's love-themes in Chapters 12-14. This section should be edited as yaoi, not shounen-ai. Shounen-ai is incorrect, given the adult content.

Not to forget the very first chapter of the series also opened up with adult scenes.

The CORRECT label is yaoi. I hope this will be changed to accurately reflect the series.
