>>30748429Yuri is not as niche as it was a decade ago. While it's not nearly as popular as BL there have definitely been an increase in discussion surrounding manga like Bloom into You, Citrus, Kase-san, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness etc... and a stronger effort by publishers to localize more Yuri manga and LNs. Its significantly more easier to read
>Yuri is a niche that appeals to the small portion of lesbians out there moreso than menThis is kinda true. But Yuri is a weird category where it encompasses both works made for lesbian and for straight men, and even includes shit that's nothing but subtext and the girls don't kiss a single time. It's not like gay male manga where the stuff exclusively for gay men is called geikomi, so the demographics don't overlap as much(it is a little more complicated than that but I dont feel assed to explain)
