If a friend that doesn't know anything about anime or manga or etc at all asks what Yuri is, how would you describe it?

Girls holding hands.

When I said "same thing", I didn't mean the Japanese definition of the word "shoujo-ai" which I know is NOT the same as yuri and means "liking young girls", sorry for the confusion.

I commend you for derailing the thread at post #4. That was a noteworthy performance.

But let's get back on the yuri track!

Don't worry, someone'll bring the shōjo-ai thing again on page 2 or 3.

And it shall be done!

Damn, I love being right.

[...] tagged both as shoujo ai and yuri, but if shoujo ai = safe and yuri = adult/sex, then shoujo ai =/= yuri, how does that even work?

Magic.

So we all agree that yuri comes exclusively from Japan and that anything else is just a cheap imitation.

I'm looking at you, FF, Lily Love and Tamen De Gushi.

See? I can do it too.

Acceptable, YMMV about the "cheap" part regarding each one, tho.

Nuhu... lesbian porn is not yuri.

As I said, some individuals have their own personal definitions.

Porn is what I don't like, as opposed to erotica, which is porn I like.

one thing we can hopefully agree on is that shoujo ai and yuri are the same thing

So if yuri suffers Schrodinger's Homosexuality does that mean the box is an analogy for japan and their homophobic mentality rooted in their society and opening the box, which kills the cat, represents their resistance to the fact that homosexual relationships are normal and their insistence with excuse that it goes against their culture, traditions and family values by trying to prevent any attempt to give gays their rights?

The box is manga. You have to open it and read to the end to see if the yuri is alive or not.

But manga is nothing more than a box inside a bigger box called society.

Our topic, however, is the nested box.

*pukes rainbows*

Plenty Itou Hachi, plenty Takemiya Jin... This is a good x-mas to like yuri...

If you do not like it, do not read it. The only reason for a post like this is to amuse shadenfreudistic (shut up spellcheck, I'm pretending that's a word now) individuals like me.

Shhh, don't tell them that, lest they stop posting. How will we amuse ourselves if that happens?

[...] But PHG rapes LBHG. LBHG was innocent and pained by what LBHG was doing to her. PHG had saddened eyes staring blankly at LBHG. PHG apoligizes to LBHG about her horrifying side and for raping her. PHG then cries and asks LBHG to forgive her and tells LBHG that she really loves her. LBHG forgives her and also starts falling in love with her. [...]

True love at its finest... =x

Meiko's so adorable =3

This is just a normal sleepover
No, I mean, it's definitely not like I was hoping for something to happen
It's just that I wanted some new panties

Denial taken to its perfection.

[...] Interesting Cultural Outfit, Pretty Scenery [...]

Nice. I'm interested already. Do you have blog/tumblr/whatever, Ankd?

Something I didn't actually realise: I didn't really know japan did fanfiction too. [...]

Didn't Sasameki Koto have MC writing a fanfiction or something for a dōjin in one chapter, tho?

It was a side character (Azusa) working on doujinshi with MC (Sumika) helping out.

I remember it being: side character wrote a manga while MC wrote a story (both published in the same binding/dōjin).

It was an original novel written by both of them.

That's right, I'd forgotten Azusa was a writer as opposed to (manga) artist.

amazing yuri fanfiction

Sorry, but I have trouble understanding those words together... =x

Ah, what a fortuitous timing. I was wondering about how Itou Hachi's serialization went just yesterday.
As always, they don't disappoint: beautiful and adorable. Subscribing immediatly.

Idk, Ayumi never said she wanted to stop doing what she was doing with Kiyo. Just that she wanted her to meet her boyfriend. It read very much like she was in a long-standing open relationship and Kiyo simply came to the conclusion that she was okay being a part of that. Maybe I'm seeing it with too much of a poly-lens, but I felt like it could definitely work out.

I feel that she should've said that she actually is in a (open?) relationship much sooner tho. Like, at least from the moment it wasn't a ons anymore.

That's some really adorable OL.

Also:

Next year she would watch the countdown fireworks with her girlfriend.

Lune, can we get wiki pages for Lauren & Janet and detective Jeff?

Delicious. Too bad it seems not to have gotten through Ploy's thick head. Some spanking may be in order, I daresay.

Ayame = best teen character yet ♥

Could someone recommend a series to me ? [...]
Edit : Actualy, a movie, a webcomic, a comic or anything would be great... I'm bored... and lazy...

Movie: Jack & Diane
Webcomic: Idolon

Japanese/Korean/Asian acting isn't really that good.

I'm guessing here that we watch very different kind of asian movies then. Not that acting bothers me too much, unless it's really bad.

*poof* We have been found out.

How not to love Haruko?
