Yuri, the female equivalent of
yaoi; i.e.
lesbian content, usually sexually explicit, in
anime,
manga, and
fan fiction based on these. The term was coined based on the word
yaoi; the word
yuri literally means "lily". However, within anime, yuri is much more rare than
yaoi.
Yuri can also be used to mean any lesbian sexual or romantic content, explicit or not; the term shoujo-ai is also used.
