Meaning Of Shounen-ai Novels & Stories

The prestige, grand and the luxury of being a royal one, their destiny that was planned was then commenced. “Ai...Aihara, which means, love.” “Raiden, which means Lion’s flame.” That first call, that sweet serenade, the longing that wasn’t been understood by them at that time.
