Yuri is a Japanese genre of media that focuses on romantic and intimate relationships between female characters. While often depicting romantic love, the genre can also explore other intense emotions like friendship, hate, and envy between women. The word "yuri" (百合) literally means "lily" in Japanese, and the term is used for media like manga, anime, light novels, and webcomics.
Genre focus: Yuri stories center on the emotional and sometimes physical bonds between two or more women.
Scope of relationships: While love and romance are common, the genre is not limited to explicit sexual relationships and can include platonic intimacy, deep friendships, or other intense emotional connections.
Origin: The term was popularized in Japan in the 1970s to refer to stories about women loving women, drawing a parallel to the gay male genre that used "rose" (薔薇) as a symbol.
Related terms: Other names for the genre include "Girls' Love" (GL) and "shoujo-ai," though "yuri" is the most common term.
