what's shoujo ai? :
- anime & manga that explore emotional, but mainly platonic, homoerotic relationships between women
- a genre of manga, anime or hentai feat. lesbian s*x and romance; yuri
- lolicon
"[...] Shoujo ai and yuri are [...] interpreted as two separate genres among Western audiences, [but not in Japan].[...]
["yuri" in Japan means] the depiction of any attraction between women (whether sexual or romantic; explicit or implied) in manga, anime, [etc.].
[...] "Girls' Love", or [short] "GL", is used as a synonym. […]
[...] [Like] shounen ai, Western fans coined the term shoujo ai [...] to describe yuri without depiction of s*x. In Japan, the term shōjo-ai [(/shoujo ai) isn't] used with this meaning, […] instead tends to denote pedophilia (actual or perceived), [similar] to the term lolicon (Lolita complex)." - Source Wikipedia :)
(tried to shorten it; was mostly about yuri anyway)
Hope you have fun ^^
