I have to agree that it’s becoming shoujo ai.
How is it pedophilia when both of them are teenagers?
Who said anything about paedophilia? Shoujo ai = yuri (or girls love, or whatever you call it).
Shoujo ai is made up term by westerners, because they needed a way to market SFW and NSFW yuri and needed a clear distinction. So they took word shoujo (girl) and ai (love) and stuck it together. Alternatively it was bad attempt at translating other japanese term Girls' Love. Either way, japanese don't use it. Both Yuri and Girls' Love are universal and have no distinction based on maturity. They just slap 18+ on the cover. And sure, it wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that term "shoujo ai" already exist in japanese. It means someone who is attracted to young girls aka pedophile. The same is true for shounen ai.
EDIT/ I saw your post BeehivesandCherries. Oh the irony. And you tried to act so smart when not knowing anything.
