Hi, everyone. I don’t know why we call all the writings based on girls’ love ‘Yuri’ (lily) in Japan. I’m Manga Republic’s Boss.
Hi, everyone! There are some theories but this one seems like the one~! (It’s Saori from Manga Republic!)
The reason why we call girls’ love “Yuri” is because one of the magazines “Barazoku” was released in Japan.
The chief editor of this magazine started to call it “Yuri.” Barazoku was published around 1970 as a magazine based on boys’ love. In Barazoku, boys’ love was described as “bara (=rose)” and girls love was described as “yuri(=lily)” as the opposite element from the boys’ love.
(They say that) Bara is originally derived from a story, where “boys who loved each other were spending their lovely time under the rose tree in the ancient Greece.”
Wowwwww~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! I learned something new now. Thanks.
So! In today’s article, we’ll be sharing six Yuri (GR) manga series! I hope this is going to be the best article for those who want to know everything about Yuri manga!

Hana ni Arashi
はなにあらし

Keeping it a secret from all of their friends? We’re dating!
It’s a crazy love comedy by two completely different-type (appearance and personality) girls!

The title “Hana ni Arashi” means “we tend to get interrupted whenever we have something good.” The main character, cool Chidori and cheerful Nanoha are friends who go to the same all-girls school and they “see each other” too. All of a sudden, they started to date but nobody knows that they’re dating.
That’s why this story is thrilling. While they try to be careful so anybody finds out they’re dating, they enjoy their school life!

What do you see “after” something bittersweet?
Focusing on a real relationship of matured women’s love: “Girls Love Story”

College girls, Miwa and Saeko prefer “female” to “male.”
They happen to start to date. It’s a real love story of the two college girls.
The author, Tamifuru-Sensei, has been writing this story with a thought: “I want everybody to think of this as love manga, not just the regular manga about girls love.” Although they are still college students, they are grown-up both mentally and physically. It’s a real girls love manga, depicting the story “after” their bittersweet first love.
