Maybe the first "Yuri" manga magazine

On July 16th, a new manga magazine will be released:

Comic Yurihime

It will be published by Ichijinsha , the publisher of Comic Zero Sum, and will come out in January, April, July and October.
On the top of the website is the announcement "No boys * Declaration of girl's love restored!!"

In fact, I have never heard the words "girl's love" in my life as a native Japanese otaku.
There is yuri or lesbian manga as a subgenre in the genre of erotic manga aimed at male adults. Shoujo manga magazines often contain manga that deal with the tight friendship between girls and we sometimes feel a slight taste of lesbian in them.
In my opinion, Yurihime aims for the girls who love the latter magazines. I prefer yaoi to yuri, and I'm of two minds whether to try out it or not...

Postscript
Thanks to the kind comment, I found there was a yuri manga magazine "Yuri Shimai" until last year. This means one publisher's junk is another publisher's treasure.
