Person 1, confessing to the one they love: Daisuki da yo
A boy who enjoys yaoi. This word is commonly misunderstood for a boy who enjoys Yuri (a boy who enjoys Yuri would be called a himedanshi, which literally means princess-boy). Literal translation of Fudanshi is ârotten boyâ. Although it has originated from negative sources, the word has been reclaimed.
Person 1: Wow, he reads yaoi? Is he gay?
Person 2: No, heâs straight. Heâs probably just a fudanshi.
A Japanese wasei-eigo (Japanese word influenced by English) that is mainly used by the LGBTQIA+ community to refer to heterosexuality, usually in males. It is derived from the English words ânonâ and âgayâ, combining them into âNonkeâ.
In Japan, the genre of Romance can be divided into three catagories: BL, GL, and NL. BL, which stands for boyâs love, is about the relationship between two boys. GL, which stands for girlâs love, is about the relationship between two girls. NL, which stands for nonke love, is about the relationship between a boy and a girl.
