Gods were created as a result of human prayer. This is how the “Yaoi” God spoke to us.
In this manner, the “Yaoi” God spoke to us. While Yaoi God claims that a person’s gender is unimportant to their love for another, Moon God believes that men and women should be married.

Yaoi (/jai/; Japanese: [ja.o.i]) is a subgenre of fictional media that first appeared in Japan and features homoerotic interactions between male characters. Its abbreviation is BL, and another name for it is the Wasei-Eigo construction boys’ love (, bizu rabu) (, beru). [a] It is distinct from bara, or “rose,” which is homoerotic media targeted towards gay males. It is mostly created by women for other women, however males may also create it. It includes a wide range of entertainment mediums, such as manga, anime, drama CDs, novels, computer games, television shows, motion pictures, and fan works. Even though some fans and commentators in the West use the terms “Boys’ love” and “BL,” the word “yaoi” is still more generally used in English. In Japan and the majority of Asia, this kind of media is referred to as “boys’ love” or “BL.”
The 1970s saw the emergence of the genre in the shjo manga subgenre, sometimes referred to as comics for women. The new literary genre was known by a variety of titles, including shnen-ai (literally, “boy love”), tanbi (literally, “aestheticism”), and June (literally, “du ne”). The phrase “yaoi” initially originated in the context of djinshi (, self-published works) culture in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a portmanteau of “yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi,” which translates to “no climax, no purpose, no meaning.” The word was used in a self-deprecating way to amateur fan works that overemphasized sex at the expense of storyline and character development. Later, in the 1990s, Japanese publications started using the term “boys’ love” as a catchall for male-to-male romantic media that was marketed to female customers.
