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. It has been serialized in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime since November 2016, and is licensed in English by Kodansha USA as the company's first yuri release. An anime television series adaptation by Passione and Studio Lings aired from April to June 2023.

Plot

Hime Shiraki 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 Koshiba, she is willing to cover some shifts to keep her façade intact. Hime ends up working as a waitress at a place that is part café, part theater, where all the waitresses pretend to be students at a fictional all-girls boarding school known as Liebe Girls Academy. Hime finds herself drawn to another waitress at the café, who in front of the customers gives Hime love and devotion like she has never known. However, behind the scenes, the girl seems to hate her guts.

Production

Manga

Conception

According to Miman, Yuri Is My Job! started with the idea of combining a classic school setting with a concept café, a type of restaurant themed around cosplay and performance. They felt that the disparity between a character's actual and outward personality as they worked in the café would make for an interesting story, particularly in how each character shows both sides of their persona as they experience difficult times.[5]

After serialization was decided, Miman began working on creating characters that would fit the setting and theme. They tried to keep the character designs simple, yet also capable of clearly conveying each character's dual personalities. They described Hime's style as like a "beloved princess"[b]. For the overall environment of Liebe Girls Academy, they aimed to create a classic and refined atmosphere.[5]

Development

Throughout the series' development, Miman focused on how characters often hide their true selves, resulting in constant misunderstandings that progress the story. However, they realized that if the reader was unable to discern when a character was lying, the story would become difficult to follow. As such, they emphasized the unique traits of each character's contrasting personas to make it clear when a character is merely acting, such as having Hime's dialogue be exaggerated and comical when she is not being sincere. By doing so, Miman hoped to make each character's inner self stand out more clearly.[5]

Miman had to adjust the series' pacing over time, since they initially overestimated the number of story elements they would be able to include. For example, they planned to reveal Mitsuki's backstory in the first chapter, but this was rejected by their editor due to the amount of exposition that would be necessary; Miman ended up delaying the scene until the first volume's final chapter.[6] For subsequent volumes, they often had to overcome tight pacing to be able to fully develop the story's characters.[7] Miman also opined that it was important for an author to be emotionally immersed in the work while creating it; they said that their favorite scene was Hime and Mitsuki's reconciliation in the 10th chapter, which they cried over while storyboarding.[5]

Publication

Yuri Is My Job! was Miman's first serialized work. They had begun drawing yuri manga with a one-shot story that they published at Comitia in 2005; after creating additional doujinshi works, they were approached by an editor from Yuri Shoujo, which led to being commerically published for the first time. Following that, they began contributing yuri short stories to Shinshokan's Hirari magazine, and were eventually offered serialization by Comic Yuri Hime.[5]

Miman described creating a serialized work as a difficult experience, since they had to meet monthly deadlines despite never having drawn a chapter in that timespan before. Initially, they were unable to meet the deadlines, so they had to use prepared material to make up the difference. Over time, Miman was able to better adapt to the workflow, such as by relying on their editor for support, and appreciated more the experience of creating a continuous story.[5]

Anime

Adaptation

Hijiri Sanpei, the anime's director, felt that while the first volume of the manga series resembled a comedy, it soon transitioned into drama as the characters and their relationships were further explored. As he adapted it into an anime, he aimed to avoid over-the-top portrayals, instead focusing on each character's emotional nuances. In addition, he tried to ensure that the characters remained likable even during serious and confrontational scenes.[8]

Sanpei consulted extensively with Miman during production. In particular, he would often ask Miman about parts of the story that were planned but had not yet been serialized, which allowed the production staff to more accurately portraying character emotions. Miman also provided reference materials for the setting that were eventually incorporated into the background scenery.[8]

The story is set in a concept café, which many of those involved in the production were not familiar with. As such, production staff visited concept cafés throughout the recording process to better understand what they were.[9]

Animation

Takayuki Nagatani, one of the anime's producers, noted that one important part of the animation was clearly conveying the distinction between each character's performed and real personalities, as well as comedic and serious moments. He observed that while the story emphasizes the difference between one's public and private self, every part of an animation is public-facing, which meant that the staff took great care in making it.[9]

The animation features vibrant colors, a style which the animators finalized after significant trial and error. The tone of the voice acting was adapted to match this visual atmosphere, with Yui Ogura freely expressing Hime's emotions rather than holding them back. Ogura also noted that due to the need to synchronize her lines with the visuals, she often had to vary her tone and pacing.[9]

Voice acting

As a voice actress herself, Ogura said that she related to Hime's ability to put on an act for others. She sought to portray Hime as cute, calling her character someone naturally likable. To avoid Hime coming across as manipulative, Ogura aimed to show Hime's cuteness regardless of which persona she was putting on.[10] She also felt that Hime has a large gap between her outward appearance and her feelings, which she found to be charming and was careful to not portray in an unpleasant way.[11] Because Hime's actions drive much of the story, Ogura initially felt a lot of pressure, but she settled into her role over time.[12]

Sumire Uesaka, who played Mitsuki, described her character as the opposite of Hime; while Mitsuki seems composed and beautiful on the outside, Uesaka felt that Mitsuki struggles to put on an act and often acts awkwardly when trying to connect to others. Uesaka sought to convey this in a way that would keep Mitsuki endearing, especially since she enjoyed her character's sincerity and straightforwardness.[10]

Minami Tanaka, who played Kanoko, felt that one of her character's most important traits is her strong romantic feelings for Hime. She paid particular attention to the contrast between Kanoko's interactions with Hime, which tend to be warm, versus her interactions with other people, which tend to involve Kanoko being extremely shy,[12] but never deliberately cold.[13]

Makoto Koichi, who played Sumika, aimed to balance between her character's aspects of natural beauty and deliberate charisma, which she found to be difficult but enjoyable to perform.[13] For example, when her character is outside of the café, Koichi would try to incorporate gyaru elements into her acting. She described her character as someone who is considerate and observant, but sometimes acts slightly pushy to Kanoko.[12]

1"Welcome to Liebe Girls Academy"
Transliteration: "Yōkoso Rībe-jo Gakuen e!" (Japanese: ようこそリーベ女学園へ！)		Mitsuki KitamuraNaoki HayashiHijiri SanpeiApril 6, 2023 (2023-04-06)
Hime Shiraki is beautiful, intelligent and popular, but beneath her façade of perfection she is selfish and manipulative. One day, Hime falls down some stairs and onto Mai Koshiba, breaking her arm. Mai reveals she manages Café Liebe, a café where waitresses cosplay as students of the fictional Liebe Girls Academy. Unable to work, Mai and waitress Sumika Chibana guilt Hime into working at the café until her arm heals. Hime is uncomfortable with the café’s shōjo manga atmosphere and does not perform well. To her surprise, fellow waitress Mitsuki Ayanokouji treats her kindly in front of the customers but becomes cruel to her once the café closes. Kanoko Mamiya, Hime's friend who knows her true personality, frets over Hime getting such a strange job. Mai decides, due to customer reviews, Hime and Mitsuki will act as sister-like best friends named Schwesterns, which Mitsuki immediately rejects. Hime does her best to convince Mitsuki to agree during their next performance, but it comes off as pushy and manipulative and Mitsuki is forced to agree to be Schwestern. Hime becomes confused when Mitsuki privately reveals she deeply despises her.
2"Let's All Be Waitresses Together"
Transliteration: "Minasan de Okyūji o Hajimemashō?" (Japanese: みなさんでお給仕を始めましょう？)		Takahiro MajimaNaoki HayashiIkuo MorimotoApril 13, 2023 (2023-04-13)
Mai asks Hime not to tell her friends about the café since having friends as customers makes acting difficult. Hime tries to help Kanoko be more assertive, but Kanoko is overcome with nerves trying to tell Hime something important. When Kanoko visits the café, Mai insists Hime treat her like a stranger. Kanoko obliviously causes a scene when Hime does this while acting as Mitsuki's Schwestern. Soaked with water, Mai lets Kanoko borrow a waitress uniform, which Hime comments makes her look cute. The next day, Mai hires Kanoko as a waitress; Hime is convinced Mai is blackmailing Kanoko too, even though Kanoko took the job willingly. Mai has them practice taking customer food orders in character. Hime makes numerous mistakes while Kanoko's nervousness actually makes customers adore her. Mitsuki expertly covers Hime's mistakes, making her think Mitsuki is looking out for her. Hime is surprised when Kanoko assertively scolds her for causing Mitsuki trouble, then both scold her together for continuing to repeatedly make basic mistakes.
3"What Should I Believe?"
Transliteration: "Nani o Shinjitara Iin Desu no?" (Japanese: 何を信じたらいいんですの？)		Shige FukaseNaoki HayashiNaruyo TakahashiApril 20, 2023 (2023-04-20)
Growing tired of Mitsuki's criticisms, Hime deliberately puts extra effort into her Schwestern act to prove Mitsuki wrong and secretly gloats when Mitsuki praises her. However, after the customers leave, Mitsuki once again scolds her. Kanoko wonders why Hime is trying so hard to impress Mitsuki. Hime explains when she was in elementary school, a mean girl named Yano exposed her selfish personality to her friends who then rejected her, teaching her that people who dislike you are the ones you should impress the most to survive. Hime is devastated when Mitsuki overhears this and panics so much that Mitsuki might reveal her secret she cannot focus, so Mai sends her to work in the backroom instead. Fed up, Mitsuki finally confronts Hime about hiding her personality but promises to tell no one. Realizing Mitsuki is a good person at heart, Hime explains how the cruel Yano exposed her secret years ago. This causes Mitsuki to furiously reveals her real name is Mitsuki Yano and she was the girl who exposed Hime.

They quickly grew close enough that Hime confessed about the façade she used to make people like her. Mitsuki was happy with this as it meant she was Hime's only real friend. The other girls in their class grew jealous and accused Mitsuki of bullying Hime into being her friend. Hime would eventually quit playing the piano as it was making Mitsuki a target of bullying. Not knowing this, Mitsuki revealed Hime's façade, exposing her selfish personality. The girls abandoned Hime, who had no friends until she graduated to middle school, while Mitsuki transferred schools and never saw Hime again.

As such, Mitsuki decides they will continue as Schwestern as long as it takes to get it right. Mai puts them through a practice run, telling them to put their real feelings into their characters, and they manage to convincingly portray loving Schwestern again.

To spare Mitsuki, Hime publicly declares her sisterly love in front of the customers. Mitsuki realizes Hime was telling the truth and admits she loves her too, much to the customers' delight. After they leave, Hime is happy to be friends again, but Mitsuki, having meant it as a romantic declaration, becomes angry and embarrassed, confusing Hime. Their reconciliation draws in even more customers, despite Mitsuki blushing every time she and Hime interact lovingly.

Hime gets revenge by acting up in front of customers where Mitsuki has to be nice to her at all times, which both flusters and annoys her at the same time.

Reception

Manga

Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall B+ grade. Silverman 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".[54] Anime UK News gave the first volume 8/10, praising its strong setup and additional German translation notes.[55]

In 2018, Yuri Is My Job! was one of twenty finalists shortlisted for Niconico and Da Vinci's Next Manga Awards.[56] The series has also been featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga for 2019 and 2020.[57][58]

As of May 2023, Yuri Is My Job! had 1 million copies in circulation.[59]

Anime

The anime was received positively. Alex Henderson of Anime Feminist reviewed the first episode, stating that there is "fun to be had" with the show's premise, with a potential for satire and meta commentary in the show's cafe, arguing those working there are "literally performing an idealized girlhood", argued it had a premiere with "potential", and said she is excited for the series going forward.[60]
