no it’s a shounenai. not yaoi. yaoi focuses on sex, and it’s literal purpose as a genre is to fetishize gay men. shounenAi focuses on the development part of a relationship. authors of shounenAi consider it degrading when their work is being called a yaoi. please learn the difference between the two genres.

Okay I won't invalidate that. I just consider if a work has the depiction of sex in it to be considered yaoi, and otherwise it is shounen ai. We can just generalize it all as BL. I think this person just wanted to know if this had smut in it, and it very well does. But yeah thanks for the clarification.
so im planning on reading it but by chance is this a yaoi??
