Shonen-ai means "boy love", and references manga/anime that contains romantic involvement between two guys. It tends to be more romantic and not very sexual. Yaoi is the more sexual version of shonen-ai, and is typically pornographic. Shonen-ai means "boy love", and references manga/anime that contains romantic involvement between two guys.

Boy's love. Homosexuality anime. Most of the time, the main character isn't even gay, he just so happens to be in love with the particular man. It's usually romantic with a little sadness involved. It's in the subject with yaoi. Yaoi is hardcore guy on guy, usually one volume, stories.
