Yuri

Yuri – Far from being a Soviet astronaut, this just means lesbian porn: common Yuri subgenres are: 1) older woman seducing younger ‘lesbian virgin.’ 2) a sort of ‘reverse yaoi’ where FEMALE anime characters are paired up (literally: “lily”) is the term used to describe manga or anime with strong, graphically portrayed homo-erotic themes involving women. In otherwords, yuri is pornographic manga/anime featuring women with women. Unlike yaoi, yuri does tend to have more than the minimal necessary story. Similar to the situation with yaoi / shounen-ai, it has become increasingly popular in North America for shoujo-ai titles to be labelled “yuri,” both by fans and distributors.
