no. the main novel is R15 tho, R19 is the recent completed side story so technically it is shounen Ai and the “touches” scenes on the main novel wasn’t even explicit. also, we’re really really behind novel chapters now so be patient, we’ll prolly get there.
But the main novel has kisses and from what I've read they are mostly very heated. No sex, though. But lots of heated scenes.
The sex comes in sides stories which I unfortunately haven't found to read yet T-T
shouldn't it be shounen ai if theres only kisses and touching? unless there's sex then it'd be yaoi. atleast that's what i understand it to be
Well, the shonen ai that I know doesn't even have this. The just imply that they like each other but everything is veeeeery subtle.
I still see kisses in shounen ai, though. and nowadays both the term yaoi and shounen ai aren't even used properly ╮(￣▽￣)╭
shounen ai can be seen as for all ages but it’s actually means romance between guys > nsfw, so some kisses and random touches can be included with no nsfw scenes shown. it can be mentioned tho just not shown or explicitly explained in details so that’s why the main novel always cut it off whenever it got heated. that’s shounen ai so the genre is right.
alsoo if you want to read their nsfw side story you can read raws for free every day (1 free chapter per day), it started around Side Story 8-10 if i’m not mistaken so if you have RIDI acc, you can definitely read those free chapters and just use website translation tools bcs there’s no eng tls for Side Story now ^^
I still don't agree that this should be classified as shounen ai, 'cause most of the kisses in the novel involves lot of tongues, saliva and bitting which creates a sexual tension that's not usually found in shounen ai.
That aside, thank you sooooo much for the information of side stories!!!
The novel isn't shonen ai so why the manhwa is?
The novel is yaoi, there's lots of kiss and touches.
