Sa Hapon, malawakang pinalitan ng termino ang , na kung saan ay nagsubsumo sa parehang parodiya at orihinal na gawa, at pangkalakalan (commercial) na kasama na rin ang gawang dōjinshi. Kahit na tinatawag na Boys' Love ang genre (kadalasang idinadalat bilang "BL"), ang mga itinatampok na lalaki ay pebestiko o matatanda na. Nilalagyan ng shotacon ang mga gawang may ganitong layunin, at nakikita bilang isang panibagong genre.
