Yaoi means sexually explicit guy on guy kind of romance... Shonen-ai is non-sexual Boys love.
So, for all of you having heard of or have watched an anime called Loveless.. that anime.. if anything, is Shonen-ai. As far as I have ever seen of the series.. a moment of kissing or two and a declaration of love was its extent. Not mentioning other types it may or might not have had... but Yaoi, it was not.
*steps off the soapbox with a sigh*
Did rather make me wonder if the author was just adding the 'romance' of the series simply for its hook, snagging that genre's audience. I thought it had a workable plot line anyway. Soubi was a looker but his story was a total.. euw. and Ritsuka.. needed a new sibling... and a new 'true name' as well... desperately!

Loups Garous
Another interesting anime was Loups Garous... and no, it isn't really about werewolves. About a future time of sorts, when people mostly interacted with monitor screens. Only the school children were given the means to actually meet one another face to face on school grounds. There is a series of murders and a set of 4 kids set out to find answers before they too are targeted for death.
