I was looking for a book for my brother and I came across Shounen-ai and Shoujo-ai comic books. What does Shounen-ai and Shoujo-ai mean or stand for?

Shounen-ai means young man love. In manga and anime it deals with boys in love with eachother. Shoujo-ai is the opposite. It deals with women in love with eachother. There is also yaoi and yuri, which is basically the same concept.

Shonen-ai = Boys love (means it has elements of a gay relationship)
Shoujo-ai = Girls love (means it has elements of lesbian relationships)
These can range from mild to hardcore so pick carefully. If it's not your cup of tea, then ignore it. :) Some are quite good.
