[edit] Historical Definitions
The following term dates to February 2000 in anime fandom:
- Shounen ai and shoujo ai are literally "boy love" and "girl love". Whereas yaoi and yuri is about sex, if not outright rape, shoujo/shounen ai is about love, emotions, and relationships. [1]
The following term dates to May 2003 in the Dragon Ball Z fandom:
- YURI/SHOUJO AI
- A type of fic implying girl to girl relationship. Again, we don't write or read or host this kind. Like yaoi, it's an X instead of a slash (/). So it would be CXB (ChichiXBulma) and the like.[2]
The following definition dates to January 25, 2004 in the anime and manga fandoms:
- shoujo-ai Literally means "girl love".[3]
The following definition dates to September 2006 in anime fandom:
- Shoujo-ai (can be spelled as "shojo-ai" or "shoujo-ai"; either is correct) is Japanese for "girl-love." Shoujo-ai is exactly what it means; romance between girls. Shoujo-ai is very similiar to shounen-ai in that retrospect. When this phrase appears in fanfics, anime, or manga you can expect to find a very romantic story with little to no sexual content. [4]
The following definition dates to November 2007 in anime fandom:
- Shoujo-ai/Yuri = girl x girl love. Shoujo-ai is fluffier and lighter than yuri [5]
The following definition dates to March 2008 in the Sailor Moon fandom:
- Shoujo ai - Literally means "girl love"; two girls making out [6]
