Yuri Is My Job! (Japanese: 私の百合はお仕事です!, Hepburn: Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto Desu!) is a Japanese yuri manga written and illustrated by Miman which was first serialized in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime on November 18, 2016, and is licensed in English by Kodansha Comics. The English release also marked Kodansha Comics debut into publishing yuri manga in 2019.[1]
Synopsis
Hime is a high school girl who deeply cares about her image as a sweet, helpful princess but on the inside only cares about herself. So when she accidentally injures a café manager named Mai, she's willing to cover some shifts to keep her facade intact. Hime ends up working as a waitress at a place that's part café, part theater, where all the waitresses pretend to be students at a fictional all-girls boarding school. Hime finds herself drawn to another waitress at the café, who in front of the customers gives Hime love and devotion like she's never known. However, behind the scenes, the girl seems to hate her guts.
Reception
Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall B+ grade. She noted that the first volume was "much more interested in the parodic aspects of the story, though, so readers should be prepared for more humor than actual yearning glances, and a certain degree of familiarity with Class S yuri is probably going to make the book more enjoyable"[2] Anime UK News gave the first volume 8/10, praising its strong setup and additional German translation notes.[3]
