For some of you who are still unsure what Shoujo-Ai/Yuri is, some of these terms may be of help to you =3



Shijun no Tenshi

Shoujo-ai - 'Girl Love' Love between two girls. Generally a term used to classify a genre of manga/anime/etc. possessing a romantic plot based around two girls.

Yuri - 'Lily' This could be derived from two places. One would be where in 1970's Japan homosexuals were referred to as the Rose and Lily Clans/Gangs (Bara-zoku and Yuri-zoku), Bara being Rose (Bara is now used for 'real' japanese homosexual manga involving men). The second possibility is that Yuri was one of the first couples of this nature to be written about. Kei and Yuri, the original Dirty Pair.

Tachi - Literally meaning "Standing." This is the Japanese term for a dominant partner in a homosexual relationship. It can be used for both males and females, but the similar term "seme" is more common in the yaoi fandom.

Neko - Literally meaning "Cat." This is the Japanese term for a submissive partner in a homosexual relationship. It can be used for both males and females, but the similar term "uke" is more common in the yaoi fandom.

Loli - Also known as Lolicon. Pictures or stories pertaining to (usually sexual) relationships of young girls with other young girls, young boys, or adults of either gender.

Updating the Yuri Fandom. heart
Hi 3nodding
The word shoujo-ai is not used in Japan. Also is not used more in some Yuri Fandoms (but some yuri-fans continue using that word).
Shoujo = Girl
Ai = Love, but Ai is a femenine name very popular in Japan.
So... Shoujo Ai = Girl Ai and NOT Girl's Love.
Example: Denei Shoujo Ai = Video Girl Ai. If you see the manga and the anime doesn't contain any girl x girl relationship.
In English: Girl + Love = Girl's Love, but in Japan not.
If you want say Girl's Love in Japan you need add more words.

Tachi - Literally meaning "Standing." This is the Japanese term for a 'butch' lesbian in a girlxgirl relationship. Examples are Utena, Haruka, and so on.

Neko - Literally meaning "Cat." This is the Japanese term for a 'femme' lesbian in a girlxgirl relationship. Examples are Anthy, Michiru, and so on. This could be considered the lesbian version of a 'uke'.

Loli - Also known as Lolicon. Pictures or stories pertaining to (usually sexual) relationships of young girls with other young girls, young boys, or adults.


I never knew about the tachi and neko things but I find it easier to just use seme and uke.

Yes, but that's mainly used for Shounen-Ai sweatdrop

Tachi meaning "weasel" ((I believe)), and Neko meaning "cat" show the difference between the butch and b***h, I suppose =P

Thats true but my characters a neko most of the time, in more ways then one. But like I said I find it easier to keep using Seme and Uke they mean the same as the Tachi and Neko so why change which words you use?
