HUH? Yaoi? Yuri?

What yaoi is: Yaoi is male/male homosexual relationships in Japanese anime or manga.

What yaoi is NOT: Disgusting or "wrong". Yaoi is not to be confused with real-life m/m pics or Western (American) art style m/m.

Yaoi: (Yah-oh'-ee) Male/Male relationships in Japanese manga or anime. Usually of a more sexual/mature nature than shounen ai. Yaoi is actually an acronym for "yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi" which translates roughly to, "No climax, no resolution, no meaning".

Yuri: Female/Female relationships in Japanese manga or anime. The word "yuri" is actually a slang term which means "lily" in Japanese.
