4 Classic Yaoi Tropes!

Let's dive into some of the classic tropes that make yaoi yaoi!

1. Yaoi Hands

- One of the most iconic and sometimes humorous tropes in yaoi is "yaoi hands." This refers to the exaggeratedly large hands that male characters often have.

2. Love-Hate Relationships

- This trope involves two characters who initially can't stand each other but gradually develop romantic feelings. The constant bickering, fiery arguments, and undeniable chemistry make their eventual confession of love all the more satisfying.

3. Childhood Friends

- Two characters who have known each other since they were kids and gradually realize their feelings for each other as they grow up. This trope often involves sweet flashbacks and adorable scenes!

4. Love Triangles

- This trope introduces a third character who creates tension between the main couple. The added complexity and competition can heighten emotions and drama. We LOVE drama!

These tropes are just a few examples of what makes yaoi stories so engaging and fun to read. Check out my other lists here on BLU!
