It should be noted that this has nothing to do with the YuriGenre (which is also referred to as Girls' Love). This was published in the 1950s-1970s during the Comic Code age after all, so same-sex relationships were out of the question.

!!''Girls' Love Stories'' provides examples of:
* AnthologyComic: Each issue consists of several stories focused on the female protagonists and their love lives with their boyfriends.
* ChildhoodFriends: Two of the protagonists --
Angela and Cecil -- are childhood friends, having met when they were kids and becoming close to the point of becoming like sisters by the time they're seventeen.
* MostWritersAreMale: Despite being a romance comic aimed at girls, the comics were mostly written by men (though one of the writers and editors -- Zena Brody -- was a women), leading to the male love interests getting just as, if not more screen time than the female protagonists.
