They usually don't explore the sexuality of the characters which is a shame. It's always the same pattern : The straight one falling in love with the same gender friend/nemesis and saying he's gay or "Not gay, just in love with one guy and it's you" and vis versa.
It's very hard to find a manga where the character is openly bisexual, or even when b...... 2 reply
Hmm now that this brought up I just realized many yaois are like this. But just to be sure, I have a lame dumb question: how do u tell someone is gay or bi if he dated women before then dated another man and keep dating men since then? Will u keep labelling him as bi?

I dislike this trope too, since I have seen in many works where the the guy was clearly straight, but since now he's attracted to other dude, he is suddenly gay.
