On May 19th, a single topic Tumblr blog titled "Hands of Junjou Romantica" was launched. On April 14th, 2011, another image of exaggerated Yaoi hands was posted to the Cheezburger site Memebase. While the image is no longer accessible, the description pointed out the oversized hands depicted on the characters Usami and Misaki. The earliest known mention of Yaoi hands appeared on the Otaku message board MangaFox on March 23rd, 2010, in reference to art featured in the manga Junjou Romantica: Pure Romance. The trope bears similarities to several other anime devices, including exaggerated breasts and gag boobs as seen in Mega Milk / Titty Monster.
Yaoi Hands, also known as "Yaoi hand syndrome", is a term for aggrandized hands that can be found in Yaoi, a homoerotic fictional media intended for female consumption. Anime, manga, yaoi, off model, mangafox, junjou romantica: pure romance, wtf yaoi anatomy
