(As a Japanese, calling Yuri Shoujo-ai sounds quite strange to me. Shoujo-Ai 少女愛 means pedophilia in Japanese.)
Hilarious...
Very interesting. Hope it doesn't suck. Although when you have yuri, it never really sucks....

I take it this is just shoujo-ai, not actual hentai yuri?
It's not hentai at all.

Well, yeah, but the general anime community (sites like MAL, anidb etc) differentiate yuri and shoujo-ai by H or not. Yuri generally infers the title is pornographic as opposed to just romance.
what a terrible misunderstanding... and it's already widespread... Yuri can be used both for porn and normal romance. Shoujo-ai is more like sexual, generally pedophilia.
I guess it's another one of those "western otaku" terminology... lol :P

I find it hilarious that the Western world uses Japanese words and Japan uses English words.

I understand the frustration about the whole shoujo ai/yuri thing. It's such a losing battle though. It's like shounen ai/yaoi. Both terms are obsolete in Japan and were replaced by BL (boy's love), yet they are everywhere here and in the English market. They need a new term like GL!
I already heard or rather saw people using the term Girls Love regarding some yuri light novels.

I didn't make the rules. That's just how they've been categorised on most DB sites and referenced in most discussion forums... pretty much forever; as long as I've been using such sites. That's just how the English fanbase views the genres, I guess.
Just look at the shoujo-ai tag here on MAL, it's all girl love series, not pedo stuff. Same goes everywhere, really.
Personally I don't really care because I don't like most series that brandish either title (romance) but comedies are generally alright, so if it's a romantic comedy, I'm fine with that. Just spare me romantic drama. :D

You mean among the ignorant.

Lol.
Yuri news is good news.
This.
We're also getting Aoi Hana in April. This year is a good year for Yuri.
