This is such a good thread! I didn’t previously know there was a specific term for it, but I honestly think more adult-centric yuri is one of if not my favorite sub genres of yuri, so I really appreciate this thread :o

🍓 Pink Candy Kiss is a powerful example. Two former school friends go separate ways to live heteronormative lives, only to reconnect as adults and realize their attraction to each other was real all along, not just a youthful "phase."
