Transalated as I like what I like, so there!!

OK, I know it's yaoi and I also know that 95% of this forum is male but after having just watched episode 6, I just have to recommend it :D

I have watched many comedy anime but none have made me laugh til I cried like this one does, I mean literal tears of laughter streaming down my face!

If there is anyone here who can watch B/L (I know a lot of male Gravitation fans) so if you like Gravi you will love this!
It's set in an all boys school and the 2 main characters have alter egos (a little like in DN Angel - Daisuke/Dark etc) but that's where the yaoi comes in, in the daily guise they are straight (well it appears that way :lol: ) but their other personalities are a couple :wink:
If you can stomach the odd yaoi scene (average of about 1 minute tops!), most of which are infact very amusing! you should really check this out :D
It is based on a Japanese dating sim game, here is the official site if you feel like checking it out!!

Sounds interesting: I'll check this out. Yaoi is, of course, not as good as yuri, but it's still fun. Not sure why, but I just find it very amusing for some reason...and it it's supposed to be a comedy, all the better.

That's exactly how you need to look at it!
I think there's going to be a deeper underlying story but at the moment, for comedy, this rates #1!!

Shounen-ai - guy on guy relationship
Yaoi - the more intimate/sexual side of a guy on guy relationship

Shoujo-ai - girl on girl relationship
Yuri - the more intimate/sexual side of a girl on girl relationship

Or the more simplified term B/L (boy love :wink: ). This series is both Yaoi and Shounen-ai (some of the scenes are a little raunchier than others :lol: ).

I'm now wondering who made up this word for girl love, as the proper dictionary definition of yuri is;

13 Romaji yuri [ yuri ] (n) vibration, flickering, jolting, tremor
Or lily

The vibration bit has me thinking though :lol:

It sounds really good, i have to say i am a bit of a yaoi fan and if it's a comedy then that makes it even better.

Darn, another anime i have to download without broadband, i havn't even had the chance to download Peach girl yet

Erica Friedman mentions the etymology of the term in her essay on What are Yuri and Shoujoai, anyway?

That would be the lily side of it!!

In the dictionary I was looking at, under yaoi, it actually said it was purely made up for anime/manga B/L but there was no metion of Yuri having anything to do with G/L.

Ah yes Yuri is quite a popular girls name in japan, and my sister used it in part of her username with Neo Pet. I think she called herself Ai_Yuri, i can't remember what Ai means, possibly 'love', if so it's probably not the most appropriate name for her to choose.
