I am somewhat disturbed by even the publishers using thet erms yaoi and yuri. From my understanding, those terms are meant to mean the more pornographic same sex stories. I belive the proper term for these manga would be shonen-ai and shojo-ai. Again, Japanese words are being misintrepreted and used even by publishers. Then again I'm must be picky as I'm tired of terms like otaku and AmeriManga being used with wreckless abandon and gimmicky marketing.
Also, I'm rather pleasently surprised they talk about and linked to Lililicious.net, a scanlation site. They seemed to portray them in a good light. -Xenos |

There is no precedent for your assumption, other than the mistaken usage by a core of fans who insist upon the fact that what they read cannot *possibly* be whatever they have decided is an objectionable term. Yuricon has been creating, disseminating and celebrating "yuri" since 2005 - and the official definition of yuri on their site is any story that shows women in love, or lust, with each other. ALC Publishing publishes stories of lesbian life and love - our most popular manga "Rica 'tte Kanji!?" has no explicit, or indeed any, sex. It's still 100% yuri - written by a lesbian mangaka for an audience of adult women. Cheers, Erica |
