Note: My opinion only folks.. chill.
I'm fond of yaoi. Yes. Why?
Oh come on!
Yea.. told you so..
Anyhows, they have this "roles" most of the time, the seme and the uke. According to wiki, "The two participants in a yaoi relationship are often referred to as seme ("attacker") and uke ("receiver")" It also stated that these "roles" are sometimes in yuri.
So I wonder... in ANIME/MANGA, are these roles reversible? I mean, in yuri I can imagine. But in yaoi? Hmm...
Yuri couples, most of the time, play reverse roles. And you can actually "picture" them doing it. But in yaoi I have yet to see an anime/manga which can reverse the roles. ^_^
I'm not saying yuri is better than yaoi. That's insane. Both are great for me and I adore reading/watching them. I'm just curious.
What would it be like for yaoi to feature a couple which can reverse these roles as easily as we can imagine a yuri couple do it. Just a thought.

Yea, I know, this is a yuri blog, but hey~ mentioned "yuri" 5 times (this being the 6th). Harhar! ^_^

It's official my friends. According to AnimeNewsNetwork there will be a new upcoming yuri series this year and maybe summer. And what series are this?
One of my current favorite manga which is "Sasameki Koto" which is the tale of Murasame Sumika who is popular in high school for her excellence in the marks and sports. However, she has a secret: she is in love with her classmate Kazama Ushio. Ushio also has a liking to the love between girls, but she hasn't noticed Sumika's feeling and always been refused by other girls. You'll find the translated ones in dynasty scans or livejournal group daily_yuri. They have it there.
Wahaha I can't wait!! Girls with glasses rule! XD I just love the simplicity and the realistic theme of Sasameki Koto. Aaarrrgghhh! I Want to watch the real thing badly!!
And the other one is "Aoi Hana" I've seen this in Lililicious, they have this for download. But I only read a few chapters. Anyway, it's about Fumi Manjoume and Akira Okudaria who were close friends when they were young, but when Fumi moved away, they lost contact. Ten years later, they meet again as high school freshmen. Although they find that things between them have changed, they try to help each other through hard times, and maintaining the new lives they've built without growing apart.
Sorry if I don't have much info. But I'd love to share this with you guys. Anyway, I got it all through anime sites.
