But the main appeal of shoujo-ai is how cute and pure it is, so sex isn't something I see the genre broach a lot.
Is somebody gonna tell them?
Sorry, maybe I'm wrong idk. But I was under the impression that shoujo-ai was more applicable to stories like Sakura Trick whereas pure yuri was more along to lines of Citrus. The last time I read a "shoujo-ai" that seriously handled sex was Aoi Hana I think.
Idk though. If you know of more, please do let me know.
Shoujo-ai means pedophilia in Japan. As in, liking little girls. Relationships between girls/women, regardless of purely sexual or more romantic in nature, are all called yuri. For some reason, American editorials use shoujo ai to refer to romantic stories and yuri for the more sexual ones. And that wrong use has spread through all the West, apparently.
Yeah, I've been reading about that issue lately. It bugs me. I hope we drop that shoujo-ai completely and soon. I don't think we need 'shoujo-ai' as a term for 'not full-on Yuri'. Yuri IS Yuri and that should be an enough name for the genre.
Holy guacamole, this love's driving Touko crazy, like she's already on the edge. I guess that's a sweet revenge of fate on her for sending Yuu to an almost massive heartbreak lol.
And I can't wait for that love consummation chapter, I don't care if it's a full-on chapter or just implied, just put it there Nakatani-sensei.
