Adrienne Hess found both male characters in Hate to Love You stereotypical,but enjoyed the portrayal of Akiko,a "female love interest" of Yuma,as the couple's "cupid". She found the second story to be "slightly disturbing". Hess praised the artwork,especially the expressive faces. [3] Katja Bürk,writing for animePRO,describes the manga as "Strong feelings can change and so there can easily be love from hate,or vice versa." [4] Brigid Alverson feels that there is little similarity to Romeo and Juliet despite the feud between the families,and found Akiko,who unites the two families to be the "most likable" character. Alverson found the other story in the volume "rather creepy". Alverson found Tateno's art 'rather flat' yet 'dynamic' in places. [5]
Yaoi,also known as boys' love and its abbreviation BL,is a genre of fictional media originating in Japan that features homoerotic relationships between male characters. It is typically created by women for women and is thus distinct from bara,a genre of homoerotic media marketed to gay men,though yaoi does also attract a male audience and can be produced by male creators. Yaoi spans a wide range of media,including manga,anime,drama CDs,novels,video games,television series,films,and fan works. While "yaoi" is commonly used in the west as an umbrella term for Japanese-influenced media with male-male relationships,"boys' love" and "BL" are the generic terms for this kind of media in Japan and much of Asia.
