[17] The root of this genre is in part the contemporary belief that same-sex love was a transitory and normal part of female development leading into heterosexuality and motherhood. [20] Class S developed in the 1930s through Japanese girls' magazines, but declined as a result of state censorship brought about by the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. [21] Though homosociality between girls would re-emerge as a common theme in post-war shōjo manga (comics for girls), Class S gradually declined in popularity in favor of works focused on male-female romances. [22] Traditionally, Class S stories focus on strong emotional bonds between an upperclassman and an underclassman,[18] or in rare cases, between a student and her teacher. [23] Private all-girls schools are a common setting for Class S stories, which are depicted as an idyllic homosocial world reserved for women. Works in the genre focus heavily on the beauty and innocence of their protagonists, a theme that would recur in yuri. [24] Critics have alternately considered Class S as a distinct genre from yuri,[25] as a "proto-yuri",[26] and a component of yuri. [25] 1970s and 1980s: The "dark age"[edit] In 1970, manga artist Masako Yashiro published the shōjo manga Shīkuretto Rabu (シークレットラブ, "Secret Love"), which focuses on a love triangle between two girls and a boy. Noted as the first non-Class S manga to depict an intimate relationship between women, Shīkuretto Rabu is regarded by some scholars as the first work in the yuri genre. [27] As both Yashiro and Shīkuretto Rabu are relatively obscure and the work focuses in part on male-female romance, most critics identify Shiroi Heya no Futari by Ryōko Yamagishi, published in 1971, as the first yuri manga. [28][29][30] The 1970s also saw shōjo manga that dealt with transgender characters and characters who blur gender distinctions through cross-dressing,[31] which was inspired in part by the Takarazuka Revue, an all-female theater troupe where women play male roles.
