I recently read a large chunk of Yakumo Tatsu, a supernatural shoujo I had posted on here. I was initially taken with the depth of the story, and the fact it was reviewed as having received an award for storytelling.
The truth is, it is THIS close to a YAOI. I mean it. I would go so far as to call it SHOUNEN-AI, which is not at all it's real intention... I don't think. But it's super close. It really is. Because of that, I don't always concentrate on the story like I should.
Take this page, for example:

The blond is talking about some elephant pjs he got to sleep in, and whether or not the brunette wants to borrow the bunny ones.
BUT... my brain sez:

That's just because it gets REALLY close to just being pure beautiful faggotry. If only they DID get it on... *sigh*
Ah, I've been in a YAOI mood, so I've been reading more of it again. Kissing and White Guardian. On and on and on... ha ha...
Well, 19 volumes of ALMOST YAOI will do it do ya. I'm going to bed...
