There are several yaoi series and shounen ai that showcase the many charms of the boys-love-romance genre, yet they may occasionally be grating. It’s a little trickier to obtain suggestions for yaoi anime than it is for action anime or even plain romance anime. We have compiled this extensive list of suggestions to aid you in finding the next great yaoi anime series.
While none of the following is films or OVAs, they are all anime shows that fall under the yaoi or shounen-ai genre. Even though there are many yaoi OVAs available, they are typically rather brief and disappointing. Eventually, perhaps, they will be given their category because of this. We are concentrating on the yaoi anime series right now since they contain the depth you probably yearn for.
