For anime fans unversed in the Yuri genre, it is a Japanese anime subgenre that focuses on intimate relationships between female characters. Although it comes under the umbrella of lesbianism, it is also inclusive of works that depict a spiritual or emotional relationship. So, a Yuri genre anime doesn’t necessarily have to depict sexual or romantic relationships between female characters.
