@che5hire @romin Yes

From what I understand it's more or less CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things) fused with our understanding of it, making it super broad

Go translate the Japanese wikipedia article. It basically includes stuff like intense friendship and rivalry, making it really broad. I know that I've seen a Japanese "top yuri series" and Aikatsu! was included, which as far as I'm aware, Aikatsu doesn't even have any sort of hidden gay subtext (Compared to Pretty Rhythm having a little) anywhere. It really fits of intense rivalry/friendship thing
