...shounen ai? 3v6n4r

I can see where that's coming from but it never occurred to me till just seeing that

I've watched all of the anime and read most of the manga, but i'm unsure...

.... is it really shounen ai?

now i'm so confused >_<

what would you say it is?
(also what would I say it is..? @_@)

Wow... easy with the ban stick bro... I'm quite sure that was a mistake and was not done on purpose (by whoever did it)...
I mean it's not like they labeled Doraemon as hentai/shotacon right?

i've seen this series labeled as both shoujo and shounen, but this is the first i've seen it as shounen ai

i'm not too sure which genre it best falls under, but i feel that to make a dj of this series the shounen-ai/yaoi writers have lots of free material

personally.... (after much thought) i'd label this series genderless (maybe because i still can't decide)

Wow......Doraemon as hentai/sjotacon.....that's like....Channel Thirteen showing bad stuff......which they do occasionally.

But seriously, i think the label is not wrong....just look at that cover.....it implies something strange when guys wear colorful clothings

Actually i have also watched the anime and part of the manga and the shounen ai is sometimes suggested but never actually "acted" upon....I have also looked through quite a few djs and i think is because of their closeness with each other that put people to think this way. So the question now is, should it be label as shounen ai if it's only suggestive?

So..... It's not shounen-ai?.... I kind of ed it majorly because it said shounen-si......
The disapointment...

So... This was another case of mistaking something as a BL?...
I got blown with switch, and now this?....
Although switch is really good, so I don't regret, but ... sob

Stop breaking this fangirl's heart like that >.< Sniff...

Joking 🙄 . But what a shame~.~

Anime isnt shounen ai, I am now going on with manga..I hate shounen ai and usually avoid them, most shoujish mangas with too many male characters turn out to look as shounen ai though they arent, something like hands off! but I am pretty sure crazy yaoi fangirls can make anything into shounen ai, look at Bleach with more het and yuri interests than BL(none in the original manga) and the doujins are abundantly malexmale coupling and also look at Gintama...

It's not shonen ai (neither anime nor manga) however, it could be considered slashable 😉

But no, nothing happens (un?)fortunately.

HOWEVER, the mangakas DID write a doujinshi for it called Tactics dj - Love Sick. And that one is **very **yaoi (and confusing.) But it is by the original authors of the series. I think that's saying something.
