Thank's a lot...

Terima Kasih to WONG YUN TENG a.k.a. Yue on my shoutbox, she introduced me to Yaoi. It means boys love in Japanese. I know what you are thinking. Boy's love? you mean gay!? Gay as in guy and guy!? The answer is yes. At first i thought it was gross but he thanks to her, I like it now. You know why? It is because of the anime Junjou Romantica. The story line is nice, it is really sweet. The dudes are hot. The anime is softcore but the manga is hardcore. Don't worry. It is PG13, not PG 18. Let me introduce you to the characters.
Junjou Egoist
Nowaki and Hiroki

Junjou Romantica
Misaki and Usagi


Junjou Terrorist
Miyagi and Shinobu

Characters
Misaki Takahashi (高橋 美咲 Takahashi Misaki) is the 18 (19 in episode 8 of Junjo Romantica) year old younger brother of Takahiro. At the start of the series, Misaki is about to sit for his college entrance examinations. His dream is to go to Mitsuhashi University since that was the college his brother turned down so that he could begin taking care of Misaki after their parents died. Although seemingly childish and brash, Misaki is later revealed to be a person who is simply adamant on insisting against doing anything that might be troublesome for anyone else. This is due to the fact that he still blames himself for his parents' death (believing that if he had not asked them to hurry home, they would not have sped in the rain and crashed). Misaki and Usami eventually begin a relationship together which puzzles Misaki, who is not confident about his feelings towards the older man. 

Akihiko Usami (Usagi) (宇佐見 秋彦 Usami Akihiko?) is a 28 year old popular author of fiction and erotic BL (Boys' Love) novels, and the youngest recipient of the distinguished Naomori Award. His nickname is "Usagi", which means "rabbit" in Japanese. Usagi is Misaki's tutor for the upcoming entrance exams, and a very close friend of Takahiro (he, in fact, harbored an unrequited love for Takahiro for a long time). He and Hiroki were childhood friends. Shortly after meeting Misaki, he finds that Takahiro has gotten engaged. Seeing how upset this makes Misaki on Usagi's behalf, Usagi realizes that he loves the younger boy and the two become lovers.

Hiroki Kamijō (上條 弘樹 Kamijō Hiroki?) in the anime, he is 29 years-old and a long-time friend of Akihiko's, who is an associate professor at the college Misaki studies at. He is a bit of a loner and is extremely passionate about classical Japanese literature, apparently having graduated at the top of his class. Hiroki initially loved Akihiko, his childhood friend. He is an example of thetsundere character archetype: he has a bad temper and is feared among his students, though he is actually shy and gets flustered easily. He is often called "Demon Kamijou" by the students. Hiroki has now fallen in love and is in a relationship with Nowaki, who calls him Hiro-san.

Nowaki Kusama (草間 野分 Kusama Nowaki?) was orphaned without a name as an infant, he was named "Nowaki" ("typhoon" in Japanese) by the head of the orphanage because he was found in a heavy rain storm. Elders call him "Wacchan". Nowaki first meets Hiroki 6 years ago, when he is crying about his fruitless relationship with Akihiko, and goes on to insist that Hiroki become his tutor. Originally studying to become a social worker, he changes his mind and is currently studying to become a pediatrician. Nowaki is very kind and understanding, particularly towards Hiroki. He is 4 years younger than Hiroki, which puts him at 25 years-old. Despite his age, he is actually taller than Hiroki, a fact that initially irritated Hiroki.

Miyagi Yō (宮城 庸 Yō Miyagi?) in the anime, he is 35 year-old and a literature professor at Mitsuhashi University and a co-worker of Kamijo Hiroki. He was once married, but is now divorced most likely due to his indifference to feelings and emotions. His love interest is Takatsuki Shinobu, his young ex-brother-in-law. Miyagi is often playful when it comes to teasing Hiroki, though his true character is far more serious due to an event from his past.

Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍 Takatsuki Shinobu?) is an 18-year old high school student (and the son of Mitsuhashi University's dean of literature and of Miyagi's boss) who believes it to be fate that he is in love with his ex-brother-in-law, Miyagi Yo. He would very much like Miyagi to take responsibility for Shinobu falling in love with him. He is often blunt and unreasonable, though he is shown to have a softer side.

Yun Teng, correct me if i am wrong yah.... you are the expert.
