Anon requests: "Explain yuri" Yuri (also commonly referred to as girls love) is a genre commonly associ8ted with anime and manga that is intended to descri8e media with a focus on intim8te sexual or romantic relationships 8etween two female characters. The Yuri genre orgin8tes in japanese les8ian literature from the 20th century, particularly with the writings of No8uke Yoshiya in the *Class S genre. The genre 8ecame popularized in the 1990s 8ut was esta8lished as a true genre and fan culture in the 2000s with the founding of Yuri Shimai, one of the first yuri oriented manga magazines. *Class S stories and relationships are depicted as strong platonic les8ian relationships 8etween two female classm8tes that are intended to demonstr8te the heteronormative relationships that would eventually tear them apart post-graduation.
Actually, I would love to divulge more a8out Class S relationships at another d8te. They are interestingly tragic relationships.
