Thought the same thing. I guess they have finally decided to become manly and eat delicious beefy meals.

Jiraiya is a bara artist, not a yaoi one. His work is published by
Furukawa Shobou which is dedicated to bara series.

"Bara" is a subgenre of yaoi. So, it's bara, and yaoi, actually.
Oh, and the term "bara" is officially accepted as "gay manga", not as bara.
I would really love others to start using "gay manga" at the place of "bara", thanks.

This is probably 1 of the weirdest tie-ins for anime/manga I've ever read about. Hate to see the image of what the female equivalent of bara would be like.

That would be the shirt to wear on a first date. Or to grandma's birthday party. Maybe to your kid's first day of school. Yep. Oh, the possibilities.

except bara is by and for gay guys while yaoi (a subgenre of BL) is made for and usually by straight women. also, since yaoi is a subgenre of BL then it has to conform to the major criteria of BL and BL is a demographic specific genre that is limited to shojo and josei demographics as those are the female targeted demographics. since bara isn't for women, but rather gay guys, it can't be a subgenre of yaoi since yaoi is for women.

nope nope nope.
Yaoi is a subgenre of josei. Bara is gay men's erotica.
Yaoi, as a genre, is for women (women's erotica). Bara is for gay men, and like you've mentioned before it is also known as "Gay Comic".
Wikipedia in facts mentions this:
Quote: | Western commentators sometimes refer to bara as "yaoi", but yaoi is largely created by and for women and features idealized bishōnen who frequently conform to the heteronormative formula of the dominant and masculine seme and effeminate uke characters.[2] By contrast, bara is considered a subgenre of seijin (men's erotica) for gay males and resembles comics for men (seinen) rather than comics for female readers (shōjo/josei). |
for men by men, rather than the polar opposite of yaoi.
