While most people think shoujo-ai is a Japanese term, that is incorrect. Shoujo-ai is actually an American term, and is supposed to be the equivelent of what shounen-ai is supposed to be, only with two girls instead of two boys.
In Japan, yuri is the actual term used to represent lesbian relationships, regardless of whether it's sexually explicit or very innocent.
Shoujo ai is somewhat uncommom, most people preferring shounen-ai

Bunneah was half right, but the prepubesent boys genre is refurred to as Syouta (Shota to American fans)
Shounenai, like Tanbi, is no longer written. It was replaced by BL (Boys' Love) which are much more likely to have happy endings & have less drama.
Japanese girls will litteraly roll their eyes at you if they hear you say shounenai ai instead of BL.

#2: A.I. is the abbreviation of Artificial Intelligence...or androids (robots)
#1: Person A: "Hey! I just dropped by Borders and picked up a copy of Gravitation!"
Person B: "Cool...what's it about?"
Person A: "Well, first of all, it's a shounen-ai book. It's kinda like Japanese 'American Idol,... because the one boy..."
#2: The anime show Ghost In The Shell is about the future, where the difference between being a human or A.I. is almost indistinguishable.

Pedro Abrunhosa: *falls*
Manzarra: Ai Fodasse!
