a series of interviews discussing the yuri genre - yuri meaning lily and referring to romance between women. the interview discusses, what is yuri? how explicit - or inexplicit - does the relationship need to be to count as yuri?

it's commonly accepted that yuri doesn't need to be explicitly romantic - it counts as yuri if it's principally about the relationship between women. in this series of interviews, Iori Miyazawa and Gengen Kusano theorize an even more expansize definition of yuri, one that includes things like an empty field (where two women once were) and the function f(x) (two things defined in relation to each other). It's a really fascinating and enlightening read.
