| Probably because Yuri > Shoujo-ai. |
| Shoujo-ai doesn't mean light yuri in the first place. In fact, it has nothing to do with girls loving girls. The term is more closely linked with paedophilia. |
 |
| There are people who already brought this issue up many times already for other shows... MAL just doesn't care. Anyway yuri = generalized yuri and shoujo-ai = yuri aimed at younger girls Like SeibaaHomu said above. |
 |
| Yuri is a blanket term for all girls love. Doesn't matter if it's light, serious or NSFW. |

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| There is an excellent discussion of this issue here . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28genre%29 . . . in the section on "Japanese vs. western usage". To make a long story short, "Yuri" is now the correct term for the genre of this series. |
kichiru said: I ask because some of the other shows under the shoujo-ai tag have LESS than this, and this one is full on kissing. As everyone has said here already, shoujo-ai is now associated with paedophilia. It should no longer be used here, but since MAL is quite outdated with genres for the anime and manga DB, due to the lack of coders... it will stay outdated for some time. I mean, even shounen, shoujo, seinen and josei are being used for anime, when only manga has demographics in Japan. The genre system is currently outdated and a broken feature of MAL's. |

| Because it's yuri? |
