This “relationship” doesn’t necessarily have to be “love,” love is one of the things this colossal “something” envelops within itself. I think at this point everyone can agree that the definition of yuri as just “love between two women” is no longer applicable. This “something” that connects two women together is sometimes referred to as an “unidentified enormous emotion.” This concept dates back to around 2016. The better you depict the change in the “emotions,” the more “high-resolution,” the more real the work of fiction will feel. High-resolution yuri is “strong” yuri.

Do you theorize that yuri can be classified by its “strength”?
Miyazawa Iori
I didn’t come up with the words “strong yuri,” but I do always strive to write strong yuri. Which is, basically, to depict human beings. Though it’s been said that this is what science fiction have never been good at since time immemorial.
Mizoguchi Rikimaru
But I feel that some authors these days manage to depict yuri without actually depicting humans.
Miyazawa Iori
True... [Both end up glancing at Kusano Gengen sitting in the audience.] But let’s return to the subject at hand.
