Have you ever heard of such things as brevity and Occam's razor? You don't have to be a woman who likes women to know about this. And stop those childish habits of saying "why are you so mad?" and "why are you so upset", its passive-aggressive phrases that only make the dialogue worse.
I swear on my life that I was not trying to be passive-aggressive, I was genuenly asking, because I do not understand. That is all. Not trying to make this bigger than what it should have been, so yeah, have a good one (:
That is why I ask you not to use words that irritate and provoke rather than motivate to answer the question in a friendly way.

Yes, I know. And in this situation, it is absolutely superfluous. Because the term yuri doesn't require you to list all the "kinds" of women with lesbian attraction, and the concept of "lesbian" show suggests any attraction show between two women. This is not a bisexual show where female characters show attraction not only to each other, but also to men.

It's called yuri, lesbian at the very least. No need to produce terms. Not to mention that in a strict sense only two of them are yuri, the third only has it as an additional topic.

Oh, if G-Witch caused a certain controversy about zoomer or twitter pandering, then I'm afraid that when this anime gets the source mainstream enough, the controversy around Virgin Road will seem like a friendly conversation over a cup of tea. Because it's not just yuri LN, but literally LGBTQ power fantasy in both Japanese and especially Western sense. Also, did they actually hire Aimi to play one of the characters? I thought at first that they gave her one of the main roles and was surprised (although she's already landed 3+ main cast roles in romance shows, this is still her first role in an explicit yuri anime), but it seems that Bushi just continue to expand her portfolio beyond Bandori and D4DJ.
