Why isn’t yuri more popular? Went to a few book stores in Japan, boylove takes up more than half a floor while yuri only had a tiny shelf to it
>>
I like menhera and I think wholesome fluff is boring
>>
>>282060103
Yaoi/BL as a genre is simply more mainstream, but it's a weird kind of mainstream because it's selling a LOT but you don't see those women talking about it in the common social media sites or apps, so it's easy to understimate.

In any case, yuri is getting more popular but it's safe to say it'll always be a bit on the niche side, I could see an action fantasy yuri taking off if it was a tight Shounen Jump-esque type of series with a really good anime adaptation, but that hasn't happened yet.
>>
>>282060295
I prefer an ebb and flow of wholesome/menhera. Too much wholesome and nothing interesting happens. Too much menhera and it gets tiresome.
>>
>>282060103
BL has existed for a long time and has it's root in early japanese fiction which created a culture where it's very easy for women to get into it. The commercial use of yuri only has existed for 2 decades and the previous attempt of portraying just close female bonds was actually banned by the japanese government.

Though, only bara is popular with men and bara isn't that popular at all, so it's very likely the aspects that make BL inherently more popular with women just cannot be recreated with yuri to appeal to either men or women as BL tropes are very different from yuri tropes.

But this success also comes with the price BL has very little overlap with other audiences, we are seeing yuri being serialized in more popular shonen magazines this year, we will likely never see this happen with BL.
>>
>>282060103
You will almost never find BL in places outside of designated BL manga. Meanwhile you will find girls making out or having semi-romantic close relationships fucking everywhere.
Thats the reason.
>>
>>282060103
90% of japanese girls who are into manga are into Bl, the same cannot be said of all men. Plus, women can afford to pay more for their hobbies because they don't waste their money on prostitutes, etc...

Back in the days of CLAMP and similar creators, there were shoujo where every character had at least one love interest of each gender. Are there still popular works like that, or has that genre simply been devoured by BL?

That's where yaoibait comes in.
I mean, Blue lock is the current most popular manga in shonen magazine and is constantly one step away from going full homo to appeal to fujos. Something similar happened with his previous manga, where the rival by the end of the series went full gay with the MC and ended up kissing him

Yuri will never be mainstream until it stops relying on menhera and shock factor. Only wholesome stuff has the potential to go viral because that's the romance that people themselves want to experience. Yuri has the novelty factor with "haha crazy lesbians" but that's not enough to retain a large audience.

Green manga sells more copies than every other strict yaoi manga in Japan. The next best selling one than even beats Dragon Maid is She Likes to Cook, She Likes to Eat. The idea that yuri doesn't sell because people aren't used to seeing it is bogus. It's unironically 2025; people know what yuri is and have a rough idea what the average yuri manga is like and they don't like it .

>>282061273
Lots of wholesome yuri stuff doesn't sell. Citrus was one of the second top selling yuri manga on par with Yuru Yuri.
>>
>>282061481
Wholesomeness isn't a guarantee for success but 99% of successful romance is wholesome. Something like ZenoKawa or AriSaku has very little mainstream appeal.

>>282061481
>Green manga sells more copies than every other strict yaoi manga in Japan.
To be honest it's a manga that appeals strongly to the female audience. Like,
I can see a shojo fan not being interested in Yuri and still buying it and liking it because the love interest is handsome and looks and acts like an idealized guy. Same reason of why Rika from Pokemon is ultra popular with women over there.
>>
>>282061530
>>282061583
It's more than just wholesomeness. Green Manga sells so well because it looks fresh and different.

>the guy i was interested in wasnt a guy at all. i got baited into being a dyke
I recently reread green up to the current point and ironically it feels more like the opposite. Once Aya finds out the guys she was interested in wasn't a guy at all™, she's only hurt because she thinks Mitsuki has been deceiving her out of meanness. Once they officially become friends, on the very next arc when Chizuru has a woman moment about Aya being too friendly with someone else, Aya goes to Mitsuki's room to tell her off about giving her concert ticket to Chizuru and she's immediately smitten again. From then on, she never questions still having a crush on Mitsuki regardless of gender. It's Mitsuki who automatically assumes Aya only liked her mistaken gender self and it takes her a while until the events lead her to reconsider all of Aya's behavior and go "oh fuck, she's been in love with me, a female girl, all along". Since it's not entirely clear how long Mitsuki has liked Aya romantically at that point, it could be argued the realization itself spurred Mitsuki on to try out this "being a dyke" thing.

Queens Blade wasn't popular? News to me. In reality men just have other places than specifically yuri works to see girls kissing. Women only have BL.
>>
Why is this the yaoi thread?
>>
>>282062175
Most men like the erotic part of it but even that isn’t enough of a kick compared to regular porn. On the other hand dyke romance is cringe that only appeals to a minority of men. That’s why shows like Gushing over magical girls are more popular with men compared to your average yuri slop.

That is also changing too, Hikaru was one of the most boosted manga of the season and it is not listed as Bl. It is published in a shonen magazine and in the stores its volumes are placed next to other shonen manga

Sure, there is no doubt fujos are a big part of shonen magazines nowadays, but having explicit yaoi would turn off the male audience.

>>282061481
Green manga is published with virtually no competition, if there were say other 100 green manga like it exist for yaoi for example, it wouldn't be selling as much as it does, market size is different from potential sales reach

The big difference is that women have no problem being just a spectator

While most men seek to insert themselves into someone of their own gender to represent them, whether it's an effeminate-looking boy in a harem or even a character in a BL. But it has to be a male character, or there's no selling it.

Yes, and it's funny because I remember a while ago a discussion on a pirate page of the anime Rifle is beautiful. There were two comments that got the most likes. The first was from a user who said that he was bored being a girl and that he preferred the anime with a male character. The second user said that the anime was good but that he preferred the entire cast to be male, so he better let go of the anime.

Regarding anime and manga fans, men self-insert way more often than women. If there's no girl eyeing the "camera", or the "camera" itself looks too different from the male audience, (whether due to the "camera" being a different gender or something else) it stops being as engaging. Male anime and manga fans need the romance to include them. Female anime and manga fans can disconnect more easily (acting as a "wall") and thus can easily find both subjects worthy of titillation, hence BL becoming popular.

This is not the case for games however, as women are often self-inserting as the player who controls how their love life goes about. Thus, otome and other yume series can only truly thrive in games like LaDS because that's where they're relegated to.
>>
>>282062869
>While most men seek to insert themselves into someone of their own gender to represent them

Is this the case? I almost never feel any urge to self insert into a story. I just want to read a good story. Maybe that’s the reason I think all the popular power fantasy isekai trash is complete dog shit

>Is this the case?
No, he's just spamming and coping. Shows with exclusively female characters are hugely popular with men, and while BL has some popularity, there is no equivalent of it for women.
If anything men are much more engaged with content that has no men in it at all, than women are with content that has no women in it.

...which often lack romance. The original question was comparing two romance genres and why one was more popular for one demographic, but not vice versa for the other.

It's classic angsty drama. Touko is an inarguable menhera. She does a lot of indirect emotional damage to Yuu. It's vanilla romance, but vanilla has drama. It has a happy ending, but there's pain on the way. Pure light and fluffy romance has always been the outlier.

I mean even in straight romance it's really rare to find a story with absolutely 0 drama. Even some of the happiest romance got their "misunderstandings" tropes and family drama.

Again, it's not that romance is absent in any CGDCT, (which for the most part, aren't ecchi) but rather the genre is not *primarily* a romance. And again, self-insertion happens *more often*, not always, in romances. I am not talking in absolutes.

That quote makes no mention of romance, and anons have repeadetly shown you proof by examples that your claim
>most of them don't care about pretty anime girls kissing other pretty anime girls
Is factually wrong. Girls kissing girls is clearly and provably popular even outside yuri genre works, in virtually exclusively male consumed media. Such as the mentioned softcore anime like QB, BW SnW and so on.

The reason people think there's more slop today is because EVERYTHING gets translated.
Back in the day translators were fewer and they were selective with anime/manga that caught their interest.
In short, if something didn't get a translation for a medium-term/long-term, then there's something wrong with it.

Ah, I see now why we're not seeing eye to eye on this. Personally, I see it that quote as a funny way to talk about yuri, which to me, is a romance genre. The insinuation that he's still talking about yuri was because of the previous sentence, which said "Women are buying BL in droves but there's relatively little enthusiasm from men about yuri." This implied to me that he's talking about the romance genre of yuri rather than mere fanservice of girls kissing.

I mean sure, but there isn't really a point in this comparison, BL and yuri are different things, with different cultural impact and stories, let's also not pretend yaoi is not the most popular type of BL and one of the reasons why it's so popular is because most heterosexual smut is male centric and BL is full "female gaze".

It has no competition because most of it's audience is not the same audience that usually buys yuri manga, which should be obvious by the numbers it's pulling.

>male audiences
Which male audience? The het or the gay? I don't think het male audiences consume that much yaoi, unlike yuri which probably has more het female audiences than the het male audiences who read yaoi, in proportion.

It's also common that sometimes fujoshis read/write some yurified yaoi (by that i mean yuri with yaoi tropes rather than yuri tropes). So yuri probably has more tourists than yaoi

>>282068816

Projecting what? It's fact that both things developed separately and they're different. Or you know the yaoi equivalent of Utena, yuruuri, or watayuri? If you don't know it's because yuri and yaoi are not the same thing when it comes to writing and other things associated to these genres .
>>
>>282069094
I think its a fundamental difference in how people see romance shows in general. Like, do you watch Toradora and fantasize about being Ryuji and fucking Taiga? I just liked seeing how cute they are together and wanted to see their relationship work. Same with yuri, i just like the narrative of two people falling in love.

Class S was the inspiration of a lot of early yuri authors, even before the commercial use of the word yuri, but the point is the cultural roots of what already had works about implicit lesbianism was basically killed at that point and it only managed to take off when women in japanese society started to break off from traditional roles in the late 80s.

>>282069865
Women are more used to being emotionally closer to each other, so it's not really a stretch to write yuri when all you have to do is play up those dynamics, there isn't the same stigma as a guy writing BL would have, ultimately a good author can write anything.

Though some women who claim to be straight write too much yuri smut for it not to be suspicious.

>>282070225
Anon, you are writing an obvious contradiction, they can't know what yuri manga is like if they don't buy yuri manga. Twitter and smart of use of social media, with an interesting premise (for that audience) and use of artwork and color managed to make the series go viral, but anyone actually reading it will tell you it's just a common yuri story following common yuri tropes, which shouldn't be surprised from an author that in fact wrote for Yuri Hime before.
>>
>>282069392
Right, but what i'm saying if that a yuri came from different places, just as Utena is an antithesis to tragic yuri, YuruYuri is inspired from k-on and watayuri is a contrast between old yuri and modern yuri. That's why those things can't exist in yaoi.

Now, for example pic related comes from yaoi. First of all it was made by a yaoi writer. Then the characters are anything but characters from yuri. In general, men tend to be written in a very simplistic manner in romance stories, unlike girls which are more complex. That's why a lot of yaoi stories have very simplistic characters that are just there for the sake of the relationship and are mostly explained in terms sexual behavior without deepening too much in the character. These two girls are written as if they were men in a very simplistic manner and are not even more interesting than the male characters.

Not to mention the hetshit which sometimes happens in more mature yuri, but this thing is not mature, is a school story, and yuri writers don't do that.

And finally, everything is just explained by sexual desire, without the internal-social-existential implications that normally happen in yuri, especially in a yuri like this, but that doesn't happen here, it's just sexual desire mutated into love, which is a normal thing in yaoi.
>>
>>282070295

>they can't know what yuri manga is like if they don't buy yuri manga
Just because you don't buy something doesn't mean you don't know what it's like. Most people don't buy isekai and they have a rough idea what the average one is like. In fact, it is precisely their opinion of what an average isekai LN is like that makes them hesitant to buy isekai.

Anon it's exactly as I said, you are just projecting, what you are describing is every smut story ever which isn't focusing specifically on the male demographic, NTR Trap follows the template of most josei smut with characters forcing themselves on others but ultimately being insecure about their own feelings. Also NTR Trap is also a yaoi manga which somehow goes unnoticed by some people, even though it even had a chapter published in a yaoi magazine.

We're not talking about consumers that would never read yuri. We're talking about the demographic that will read yuri in the right circumstances, just like there's a demographic of non-isekai fans who will read one in the right circumstances. This audience is going to be larger than the hardcore isekai audience and is going to have some familiarity with the genre.

Anon, the circumstances are something that present itself to the audience, not the opposite, the point is they are not seeking those works, going viral on twitter helped it reached an audience other yuri works are unable to, actually which most works regardless of yuri or not, are unable to.

How does this thread prove otherwise? It's not about what percentage of the himedanshi audience is feeling this disconnect from the yuri couple, which is a somewhat common mindset for a hime. It's about what percentage the average male anime and manga fan versus the average female has these qualities. No shit a thread like this would be skewed towards the "wall" mindset, because anons who respond here are likely yuri fans. It's also explaining why there's less himedanshis than fujoshis.

LycoReco is yuribait because while Takina is possibly gay, Chisato just a straight or asexual girl who's heavy on skinship. She's also a shit.

Jellyfish is gay but copped out hard and got rightfully forgotten by the majority of the yuri community.

This is frankly unsubstantiated. It has a yuri tag on BookWalker and ComicWalker. It's sold in the yuri sections in store. The idea that the fans don't know is absurd. Show me one fan who was like, "I never knew they wrote stories about lesbians until I read green manga!"

People get interested if they see a page of a manga that interests them and the entire series holds their attention. If you're argument is that the twitter algorithm is showing people just Green Manga, then by extension, the alogrithm knows that Green Manga is the only interesting yuri manga to them. And obviously that is for a reason.

It has to have a format appropriated to it and the person understanding how to capitalize on it. And no anon, the X algorithm is not some mind reading machine, a lot of the times it just goes down to the words used in the text itself, actually if you look some popular yuri tweets, you will a lot of them completely omits the yuri part and have just a generic description of the content.
>>
>>282072882

Once the process started then yes, it will share the interest between users who already share other interests, it's the whole point after all, but before that the algorithm has little to do with what will do with a yuri series, it's even possible the algorithm found the perfect target group for green manga purely by an unusual combination of metrics that don't really make sense, unrelated but nowadays it's also very likely there is some AI algorithm creating some internal tagging for images, I wouldn't be surprised because it has been a while since my feed was flooded with images of solo girls meant for waifufags and this used to be a common occurrence.

Doujin has nothing to do with being official or not, it's just a word for self published works. This work is published by a publisher.

There's not much to suggest she's gay, either.

The anime did reasonably well actually and so did the game. Its the gacha where the franchise went to die, because that was supposed to carry the fanbase for a bit and sucked up all of the profit.

Did you know that non-heterosexual men and women are more likely to be into yuri and yaoi (respectively) than the general population?

>In the 1989-1994 period, 4.53% of men and 3.61% of women self-reported homosexual sex ever, which grew to 8.18% of men and 8.74% of women in the 2010-2014 period.

>Report on the Yuri Fandom Demographic Survey
>The results for gender were roughly as I expected. Out of the 695 respondents, 328 were women, 308 were men, and 59 were non-binary or listed other for another reason.
>23.38% of men marked a sexual orientation other than “heterosexual”.
>https://floatingintobliss.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/report-on-the-yuri-fandom-demographic-survey/

>Table 1: Basic Demographics
>Female: 89% (n=350)
>Bisexual: n=80
>350*0.23=80

Sadly, I cannot find more yaoi fandom surveys.

There are more surveys on the yuri fandom, mostly from Reddit:
r/yuruyuri, 2017: Out of 74 male voters, 59 identified as straight (79,72%), 10 as bisexual (13,51%); 1 as pansexual, 1 as asexual and 1 as gay (each 1,35%).* https://old.reddit.com/r/yuruyuri/comments/744f9k/ryuruyuri_demographic_survey_2017_results/dnx8g1p/
* 2 identified as Apache Helicopter and Princessexual.
r/yurimemes, 2021: Out of 1473 male voters, 1115 identified as straight (75,65%), 340 as bisexual (21,38%) and 18 as gay (1,22%)†.
† A later 2022-10-15 survey on the same sub with only monosexual options saw that number increase to 72.
r/yurimemes, 2022-10-01: Out of 914 voters picking specific male options, 717 identified as straight (78,44%), and 197 as bisexual (21,55%).
r/yuri_manga, 2023: Out of 318 male voters, 278 identified as straight (87,42%), and 40 identified as non-straight (12,57%).

A thesis on the Chinese yuri fandom (pic related) had 16 informants, with only 2 of them were male. Curiously, both of them identified as heterosexual, but "did not resist being in relationship with male".

Apache helicopter was a popular meme at the time.
It was evidently not sincere.

>I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" is a military science fiction short story by Isabel Fall, published on 1 January 2020 in Clarkesworld Magazine. The story relates the experience of Barb, a woman whose gender has been reassigned to "attack helicopter" so as to make her a better pilot. It was a finalist for the 2021 Hugo Award, under the title "Helicopter Story".
Wtf lol. Maybe I should give short story writing a shot if the bar is that low.

Women are the drivers of commercial success that's how it plays out in every consumer market. Green manga was a breakout success specifically because it garnered female attention.

Bros, being a yurilolcow is playing life on hard mode. You can't fathom the mental damage you incur from years of watching your OTP being cucked in the canon material. It's a living hell.
