Honestly, I always love a good solid yuri show, and this one doesn't really disappoint at all. There's the show, where you have characters working out several relationships and things get so very messy between them, showing that hey, yuri relationships can get just as dumb and silly and spaghetti-like as straight ones, and then the show within a show, with their cafe performances. I love hoe tropey and quaint the cafe things are, but behind the scenes, things just get more personal with the girls all trying to figure out how they feel and just everything else all going on.
Granted, it's not for everyone- it's not all fluffy and wonderful yuri by the book, and there will be bad mistakes made and stupid emotional decisions made in the course of things. It's much like real life, and the fact…

Yuri is my job is a one of a kind anime.
Im eatching this anime there are a bunch of unexpected twist and turns. I fully recommend this even if you don't nessarily like yuri animes.
ATTENTION, Im doing my best to be vage as to not spoil bit if you believe hints are enough to catch on then feel free to move to the next review as my judgement of "no spoiler" might not be the se as yours. If you still are okay keep reading.
The show explores several themes like:
-Dishonesty towards others
-How to take care of misunderstandings
-How to respect boundaries even if you don't understand what the other thinks (really trying to be vage out here)
-Representation of obsessiveness to cope with unrequited feelings (not saying more or who)
-Possibly Aromantic spectrum character (not canon comfirmed…

i loveeee class s media and the girls school setting so after watching the trailer for "yuri is my job" i was super excited for it to release :D my high expectations were met as this was a great anime \(｡☆ ▽ ☆｡)/ it has compelling drama that revolves around a relatable cast of characters and the romance was v nuanced and intertwined. there were some fun moments sprinkled in too !
sumika’s character stood out to me the most. her want to keep romance out of cafe liebe, her backstory with the old members, her complicated relationship with kanoko…all of these things/events weigh on her as she tries to be a cool, collected, dependable person. there are a few moments where that cool exterior cracks and it really helps to balance out her character and make her realistic.
not going to spoil any…

There is one big problem with this anime: no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't exist in its current form if it wants to be adequately understood or fulfil its purpose.
The original manga may be polarizing for some yuri fans, but there's one quality to it: its narrative is developing slowly and majestically, like Ravel's Bolero. With the same unchanging rhythm and repeating undertones, it piles layer after layer upon the same narrative thread. And it does take its time to reach the climax properly.
So, the problem is, with the standard cour and 12 episodes, the anime never had the chance to even reach the climax.
If the original manga were a classic drama, and you went to a theatre to watch a show based on it, you'd find yourself quite perplexed seeing the actors taking the bow be…

Yuri is My Job is a charmingly self-aware romance with a pretty clever twist. It gleefully makes fun of tropes, cliches, and stereotypes associated with the girls' love genre—then subverts each one. The satire seems to have flown over the vast majority of viewers' heads, unfortunately. Upon first impressions, it appears to be a one-note comedy, so I initially dropped it, but humor is not its main strength.
I.e., fine comedy, great drama.
People seem to have missed the point that the Café Liebe, where most of the anime takes place, imitates the traditional girls' love genre known as "Class S" (Maria-sama ga Miteru, Oniisama e…). The characters are merely actors in this themed cafe putting on a show for those enticed by melodrama and queer longing. Quite literally, the anime mocks viewers…

I don’t usually write reviews but I wanted to write this to encourage people who enjoy media the way I do to give this anime a try. I want to disclaim that I am a long time manga reader and I was thrilled when the adaptation was announced.
This anime (and manga) is not for anyone who is looking for something cute. The colors are bright and the designs are beautiful, but the story is anything but sweet and pure. The focus of this story is to portray flawed characters with conflicting feelings involved in complicated relationships.
If you dislike conflict, characters making wrong choices and hurting each other, being selfish, rejection, etc., then drop this immediately. However, if you’re like me who enjoys the drama and toxicity in yuri romance (especially because you’re tired of yuri a…

There's a 3-episode rule that many people follow, but I'm begging you here - please watch at least 4 episodes before judging. The first 3 ones are weird, characters seem unfathomably stupid and the plot too. But from the 4th episode onwards a beautifully written yuri drama starts to unravel. No comedy, it's a drama anime. But I found it quite charming and it actually made me cry a couple of times.
You might finish this anime and still don't get why some characters act the way they do, but you will now see them as 3-dimensional characters with their own feelings. Please give it a try.

Good: Yuri, Art, and Music
Mid: Plot
Bad: Too much drama, inconsistent feels
I never not recommend anime to anyone, since at the end of the day it depend on your taste on weather would you like it or not so.
You might like it since, yes, the amount of yuri wholesomeness to plenty in this anime. But tat the same time it took some too much drama turn and took down the mood of the whole show from just cheerful and fun to sad af. Character are a bit above average, since all of them feel natural and good enough to be a normal human being in the show.
The thing I like most about this show is the Yuri, Art, and music. All OST of this show it top tier (in term of these kind of shows) and fit very well with the show and help with the mood a lot. The art style is also nice and refreshing, using a…

Yuri is My Job! is complicated because I feel like the base story basically has nothing going for it and the 'thing' that starts the story is hilariously terrible. But there are some decent elements underneath that, you just need to be a little patient. But does it pay off?
Story: Yuri is My Job! is the latest in the Girls-Love series which kind of has a similar setting to Maria Watches Over Us, which is a really old series that takes place at a super catholic school. I say "sort of" because our cast of characters aren't actually at a school. They all work at a café where they role-play as students at a school. It's here they both role play, all while serving their customers casual café food and drinks.
I'm just going to say it - the beginning is borderline terrible. Hime Shiraki, a stud…

For the beggining, this anime is more about a yuri comedy than a yuri romance, they have some key moments of drama, about how the people want to give to the other a "perfect himself" and hiding his true himself, talk about how the apparence is something that in most of time the people wants to see more than the "true face", this subject is discussed several times during the anime, and the ending is something like the most common that what we must do, that's, Be Yourself f--k what the others think about you.
And for that people aromantic, I'll say that you guys will have a amazing surprise on the finals episodes.

Before we begin, I must mention the fact that this website categorized this show as a "comedy". Seeing this was the only thing that made me laugh throughout my entire experience with this series outside the manga. And so, let us begin.
Watayuri is a melodrama. Everyone is uniquely terrible and unlikeable in their own way and watching it can make for a miserable experience at times, but in a "watching a train slowly derail" kind of way. Hime has self-esteem issues and cannot be truthful to herself or to others, Yano is insistently stubborn and cannot read into social situations, Sumika is a cuck, and Tamao is Tamao. A romance blooming in the middle of a workplace as volatile as this can only really lead to misunderstandings, anger, sadness, and frustration, many times on the part of the au…

Do you want to get bored to death? Do you want to get irritated while watching characters having the same annoying repetitive arguments nonstop? You will barely finish an episode trust me.
Overall this was a horrible watch, the characters don't evolve they stay the same throughout the show. The relationships between the girls are always stuck on childish behaviors. The main lead is a dumb f*cking written main character that only cares about her Façade. She wants everyone to like her through blatant lies.
Then you got Sumika whose jealous of people having relationships within the workplace, and she does absolutely nothing to stop it, like really bruh... Let people f*ck for Yuri gods sake..
The rest of the characters aren't even needing any explanation because they don't have any depth…

“Damn those crazy girls really dispute herself more than my almost divorced parents” -a friend of mine
And that's kinda the main thing that I have against Yuri is my Job!, I mean, it has Yuri in the title, that's a pretty convincing argument, but nonetheless, the girls can't seems to stop having drama, I don't know who put the comedy tag on this, but I would definitively replace them with the drama tag, that sounds way more fine for what this is, which is something that's somewhat good, I did liked it for the most parts, but this anime can be very infuriating at the same time, let me explain.
For the story, I would say it's generally a great concept, who wouldn't love a cafe where highschool girls RP as students from a german girls school and do yuri-bait in front of customers drinking t…

Yuri is my Job looks like a cute, funny Yuri show. It sends the angelic girl Hime into the world of "Café Liebe", a theme café set as a prestigous all-girls high school with Yuri vibes. However, Hime actually puts up a facade to have everyone love her and avoids getting close to people to hide her true personality.
And Yuri is my Job does the same.
While there is some comedy and laughs at the beginning of the show, it quickly takes a more dramatic turn. The show features two main drama arcs, centering around Hime and her coworkers at the café.
In the first arc, Hime clashes with Mitsuki, as the later not only sees through her facade, but also hates her for putting one up. Meanwhile Hime tries everything to make Mitsuki like her, but her clumsy attempts only makes matters worse and the…

This series is absolutely fantastic. I am not exaggerating when I say it's one of the best yuri shows I've ever watched.
This show is certainly not for everyone. It has a lot of drama and comedy which can often feel a bit cringe-y, but it does both of these parts amazingly well by both deconstructing typical yuri tropes (especially Class S) through its comedy and analysing and fleshing out its characters through the way the drama is built so if their existence in and of themselves aren't a deal breaker for you then you will probably enjoy this a good deal.
The sound design and music are both fantastic and fit the tone of the series very well, the animation isn't the most amazing out there but it still looks great, and the direction mostly nails the presentation; Hime's faces are a definit…

i didn't like the first 2 episodes, that silly blackmail thing at the beginning was just a dumb excuse for the plot, and it bothered me a little bit.
that said, i tend to watch at least 3 episodes before dropping an anime, and well...
after episode 3 the story just keeps getting better. if you like yuri anime, you will enjoy this one.
i would say it's a good anime for sure, and the story keeps you glued and it's also good. :)
i think those who quit this anime just couldn't pass through the beginning, but it gets good afterwards.
the final it's "more of the same" and "concludes" what was presented since the beginning of the anime and let the story openned inviting people to read the manga, as a usual 12 epi anime.
PLUS: the concept of a cafe that is fully themed and theatrical, as presen…

Watayuri is a tough one, I really want to like it since it’s yuri, but the melodramatic and shallow story really make it hard for me. The show does have signs of promise, particularly towards the end once characters started getting their backstories fleshed out, but it’s too little too late in my opinion. Most of the show feels like cheap drama for the sake of drama.
My biggest issue with this story is that literally every issue in this series could be solved if the characters just acted like normal human beings and spoke to each other about how they feel. The drama feels so forced and the jealousy plotline between Kanoko and Hime was dragged out entirely too long. It really brings down the show. I know it’s anime, and you have to have some drama for tension and stakes and all that, but c…

There is no requirement for romance elements in media to be “wholesome,” nor that it needs to be something life-affirming. However, *Yuri is My Job!* is resoundingly successful at making it seem like the dynamics of a yuri relationship, even a playacted one for the bemusement of the patrons in the show’s café, is the most misery-inducing thing on the planet for virtually everyone involved. That’s not to say that affection, romantic or platonic, cannot bring sadness or complication, because it’s a given that that’s a possibility. Rather, the setting for this anime engages in an aggravating pageantry. As the characters act out the Liebe Academy “Girl Mission School on a Hilltop,” the café acts as a nexus between acting and reality. Real-world romance and romantic feeling, insinuation, and po…

There are two things I hate about AniManga in general: pretentious over-the-top drama, and Yuri (if done wrong). And unfortunately, mangaka miman's Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu! a.k.a Yuri is My Job!, just didn't go anywhere and meanders around its footprints to create a convoluted story that, honestly, can be done in a short and small order, or that the mangaka had something in mind to weed out from a Yuri love story that could go far based on the setting alone.
Over the past few years, Yuri shows have gotten a lot more diversified, though whether based on existing source material or made original, we, the audience, will always take a shot to see if it's worth the time to either roast or compliment the hell out of it for being what it is. And more often than not, if what the past yea…

Facades are something people use as their armor to shield their true selves from the world around them. One can fake being a happy, giddy person, one can fake whatever emotions they want, but for the main character, Shirasagi Hime, she pretends to be the “perfect girl”, the most likeable girl in the entire world, so she can get with a good-looking millionaire, the ideal husband. One day however, she runs into the manager of a peculiar cafe, and to repay her debt for injuring her, she must work in this cafe until her injury is fully recovered. Now, you can guess what happens to said injury…
Now let me take you on a journey through my experience of “Yuri is My Job” through three stages: The initial intrigue, the frustration, and the acceptance.
To start this journey, we start with the init…
