really i think that it has a lot to do with fantasies as opposed to realistic expectations. here's a little article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shonen-ai
Personally what I like about it, is that inspite of the usually totally unreal ways of bringing the lovers together (Fake's pretty good at it, the rest are out there), is the idea that love is love. It doesn't matter with whom you find it. It's a worthy cause and worth fighting for. often those ideas come across strongly in some of these manga especially when often there would be resistance to accepting homosexual love
