YuriNew
Definition:
The Yuri genre focuses on romantic and emotional relationships between female characters. It is a subgenre of manga and anime that explores themes of love, friendship, and intimacy among women. The term "Yuri" is derived from the Japanese word for "lily," which is often associated with femininity and purity. That explains a lot of the "purity" elements you can sometimes see in Yuri anime or manga, even if subtly.
Synonyms:
Girls Love (GL), Yuri Hime, Shoujo AI
Antonyms:
Yaoi, Shounen AI, Boys Love (BL)
History:
The roots of yuri can be traced back to early Japanese literature and art, where female relationships were more subtle than their modern counterparts. That all changed in the 1970s where Yuri began.
