    So educate me.. Wouldn't Bara still be yaoi but yaoi not necessarily be Bara?

    I thought like that too. But i just realized they had a different reason for not tagging it yaoi. It has no sex scene :"

    Lmao nvm.. i replied without knowing which comment section i replied to (because i was replying from the notification page which shows no picture of the manga). But yeah, i also had the same thought as you. Why not add the yaoi tag when it's clearly yaoi but just with buff men? I didnt think much of it though... maybe they just forgot to tag it lol

    Yaoi is aimed at women, bara is more for gay men. Google the definition. It's a genre of its own.

    Yaoi and bara while being sub genres of BL are still two different things
    Bara is written by gay men for a gay male audience while yaoi is (most commonly) written by heterosexual women for a heterosexual female audience
    Bara is not a sub genre of yaoi because it does not have the same target audience
    Also bara is normally just actual gay porn

    Yes. I realized the difference by now. Thank you for the information! That explains why Bara tend to be a lot more realistic (story wise)
