Yaoi Yaoi ( ; Japanese: やおい , ] ), primarily known as boys' love (BL) (ボーイズ ラブ , bōizu rabu ) in Japan, is a Japanese genre of fictional media focusing on romantic or sexual relationships between male characters, typically marketed for a female audience and usually created by female authors. "Yaoi" also attracts male readers, although manga specifically marketed for a gay male audience ("bara") is considered a separate genre.
Maki Murakami Maki Murakami (村上真紀 , Murakami Maki ) is a Japanese manga artist most famous for the boys love manga "Gravitation", which, in addition to the "Gravitation" novel, is published in the U.S. by Tokyopop. Gravitation was the first BL to have broken into mainstream leading way for the overwhelming popularity of yaoi/shounen-ai today. There are twelve volumes currently available; and she is continuing the series with Gravitation EX, there are also two novels (one of which is written by Murakami herself). She also has written several issues of "yaoi" dōjinshi, published by her dōjinshi circle: Crocodile Avenue. "Rimigra" aka "Remix Gravitation" is the most popular and consists of sexual content but of quite a mild nature, unlike "Megamix Gravitation", which is very explicit and detailed. "Gravitation" was so successful it has its own anime series, which consists of 13 episodes as well as two "Lyrics of Love" OVAs. She has created other manga, but "Gravitation" is the most famous.
