 [4] In 1976, Itō Bungaku, editor of Barazoku (薔薇族?, lit. rose tribe), a magazine geared primarily towards gay men, first used the term yurizoku (百合族?, lit. lily tribe) in reference to female readers in the title of a column of letters called Yurizoku no heya (百合族の部屋?, lit. lily tribe's room).[14] It is unclear whether this was the first instance of this usage of the term. .Not all women whose letters appeared in this short-lived column were necessarily lesbians, but some were and gradually an association developed.^ For women who live as lesbians, ordinarily they meet other women at bars and events.

Thematic history

.Among the first Japanese authors to produce works about love between women was Nobuko Yoshiya,[9] a novelist active in the Taishō and Shōwa periods of Japan.^ In Marginal , however, homosexuality is an inevitable consequence of a society without women and is described as a social system modeled on the boy brothels of Yedo-period Japan .

 [22] .These kinds of stories depict lesbian attachments as emotionally intense yet platonic relationships, destined to be curtailed by graduation from school, marriage, or death.^ I was expecting a GTO kind of story, about the problems the children of night workers faced and the struggles the teachers at this school went through in order to help these young folks.
  • /a/ - Animu & Mango 17 September 2009 3:03 UTC zip.4chan.org [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

 [21] .The root of this genre is in part the contemporary understanding that same-sex love was a transitory and normal part of female development leading into heterosexuality and motherhood.^ Staa Reddo (Star Red) was the story of a conflict between male and female principles, and in her next offering, Maajinaru (Marginal) she developed this thesis into a more fundamental, species-level question: the root of maternity.

 [23] .Class S stories in particular tell about strong emotional bonds between schoolgirls, a mutual crush between an upperclassman and an underclassman.^ Hatsumi gets mad at what Yuka says about Ryouki and tells her that he hasn't done anything with her because he doesn't like her at all (between other things).

In general, manga from specialized yuri publications, such as Kuchibiru Tameiki Sakurairo, display more explicit depictions of physical affection: from holding hands to kissing, and in some cases even including sex scenes.
Around the 1970s yuri began to appear in shōjo manga,[1] presenting some of the characteristics found in the lesbian literature of the early twentieth century.[7] .This early yuri generally features an older looking, more sophisticated woman, and a younger, more awkward admirer.^ Miaka's best friend, who looks like a younger version of Haruka, was very interesting to me, but not interesting enough to make me sit through any more of Miaka and Tomahome than I had to.

 The outcome is a tragedy, with the more sophisticated girl somehow dying at the end.[7] .In general, the yuri manga of this time could not avoid a tragic ending,[24][25] Ryoko Yamagishi's Shiroi Heya no Futari, the first manga involving a lesbian relationship,[1] being a prime example.^ LIST WON'T BE UPDATED ANYMORE (Last update 02-20-2008) _____________________________________________ Shoujo-Ai/Yuri Anime List Shoujo-Ai means "girl love", Yuri means "lily" and these words were adapted to denote lesbian relationship,in anime and manga.

 .It is also in this period that shōjo manga began to deal with transsexualism and transvestism,[26] sometimes depicting female characters as manly looking, which was inspired by the women playing male roles in the Takarazuka Revue.^ The primary cause of this weakening of male-female relationships is the acquisition of education and economic independence by women.

 [27] These traits are most prominent in Riyoko Ikeda's works,[28] including The Rose of Versailles, Oniisama e... and Claudine...!.[29] Some shōnen works of this period feature lesbian characters too, but these are mostly depicted as fanservice and comic relief.[30]
.Some of these formulas began to weaken during the 1990s:[10] manga stories such as Jukkai me no Jukkai by Wakuni Akisato, published in 1992, began to move away from the tragic outcomes and stereotyped dynamics.^ The afternoon began with a storytelling session, with the participants telling some of the folk stories from their tribes.
