Shounen Ai is just your typical cute romance anime, which just so happens to feature gay men. No sex will be happening in any Shounen Ai.

Honestly, assuming you're a straight guy I can get why you wouldn't care to watch two men get it on. But assuming your girlfriend just wants to watch a fluff piece with you, I really don't think the gayness should be the deciding factor as to if you'll watch it or not. Who cares if it's gay? If you like romance and you don't mind the main characters being guys, you'll probably enjoy whatever you end up watching. (Assuming you don't end up watching just a bad anime.) If you're not a fan of romance in general, then you probably won't like it at all.

I hear that movie is really tame (And apparently pretty good too) so don't worry OP.

My GF is way more interested in yuri but if she asked me to watch yaoi with her I'd probably go along with it just for the experience.

Jesus, are people actually uncomfortable with two dudes just kissing?

Because I can read shoujo ai and Yuri just fine.

If she wants you to watch shounen ai with her, then just watch it with her.. It's not a big deal.. And if find any part of the show uncomfortable then just laugh about it and joke about it with her.. No biggy..

No worries.. Just watching a shounen ai won't make you gay..

Bro, guys who are willing to watch Shounen Ai/Yaoi stuff with their girlfriend are hard to come across. Know that your girlfriend is gonna be so incredibly happy to watch it with you, but then again, if you're against it, don't worry. She'll hopefully understand.

Anyway, to give you some security, don't worry about the level of gay. Doukyuusei is very PG rated visually, the story line/plot is something to think about though... But don't turn away, it's kinda interesting and engaging, and I gave this series a 9/10.

OP has it marked completed on his list, rated 7 (his mean score is 6.5). Good end

I wish I had a fujo girlfriend, then I could watch Yuri on Ice without getting depressed :P

I watched Doukyuusei alone as penance for allowing myself to watch Citrus. It was cute and funny.

What? That's not how penance works?

First Shounen Ai I've watched. Won't say I'm an expert because I'm not by a long shot, but its a good gateway into the genre.

Watch it, it's good. The ost and visual are gorgeous, and it's very enjoyable.

Way late to the party here, but I am super entertained by the responses here XD Probably the most amused by the person saying the girlfriend would then be “obligated” to do something for him and the other people saying pretty much the same thing with the idea that relationships involve literal trade-offs. My husband and I cringed at the idea of someone in a relationship saying, “Well, I did that one thing for you, so you owe me!” Keeping score will often lead to unhappiness/resentment of one or all of the people in the relationship, just sayin’. Also, avoid taking relationship advice from anyone whose relationship history is limited to his/her hand and/or a body pillow (just kidding—I’m sure that isn’t the case for anyone here...)

As someone who does not have an issue with homosexuality and mostly dislikes/avoids Yaoi because of how rapey and badly drawn it is a lot of the times, Doukyuusei was pretty good. It's a nice and cute romance that happens to be about two guys. Nothing super innovative, but a solid watch for anyone who doesn't hate romance or gay people.

As for 'how gay is it', the question makes no sense to me. People are gay, not movies. Does the question 'How Hetero is this romance movie?' make sense to you? It doesn't to me.
You can ask how graphic or explicit or rapey it gets and the answer for all 3 is not very much at all.


Ah, the days before Pullman became a troll. These days this post would be 5 pages long, probably have a scale of degrees of gayness with a long winded explanation, and contradict it's self 5 times. Also I love how in a later post he disses people that watch anime on fast forward (which I'm not an advocate of either) yet in a more recent post I saw him go on about the virtues of how it's a great thing to do and goes into detail on how to do it. Oh how people change.

idk what drugs you're on, but you'll never see me advocate watching stuff on fast-forward, unless you've been hallucinating. I don't give a shit what you think about me otherwise, but that I'm sure of.
I probably regret this post by now.

Doukyuusei is a great romantic film, like any other good romantic film it is a mountain of emotion with a great soundtrack and unique animation, the only differences with the "normal" ones is that it is a gay romance, so yes, on a "scale gay "is definitely a 10, because they are gay LOL.

and in case you dont like it only lasts an hour
