I tried to get into the LN but the magic system was just so confusing. If there is a manga version that’s officially released in English, I’ll try to get it.

@Piromysl if there is a relationship although it is slow.
I don't want people to dropped on the show later because there's not a kiss by the end of s1

FAKE. when this author tweet would be real, it would have blown up more. And many people had criticized it.

She never said directly that Virgin Road is Yuri bait. She want her characters to filrt.
For me the post sounds more like a troll

Also the tweet is much older than Virgin Road itself.
It's nearly a year older than Virgin Road itself.

Also, when it's the writer of it my translation says that the person itself is pro Yuri.

actually the author has gone too far to repent and say that it was all a bait.


Well, since that Twitter account is not verified, we cannot confirm it's authenticity.

BUT

We cannot completely debunk it either.

MAL usually gives "Shoujo Ai" tag if media is actually advertised as such and is indeed Shoujo Ai, not just bait.
For example, Otherside Picnic anime got one, despite there being almost no yuri whatsoever besides one blush scene. An actual yuri content happens in LN, in later chapters that weren't adapted into anime.
If that tweet is legitimate, then it would all make sense. Even in PV girl stated that "We are friends".

So, "expert's opinions are divided".

Is this an actual yuri, or they just remain "very close friends" like in any other similar show and nothing goes beyond yuri bait?

Ooh, Mili? Brilliant. That's bumped it up a few notches of interest.

This is Mato Seihei no Slave, only if it's made virgin Yuri.

Oh god, 2022 is already looking to be one hell of yet another year.

It's a slow burn Yuri


That doesn't tell me anything.


It means there is romance, but it develops with a slow pacing, so it takes a while before major romantic events start happening.

It's looking good far. Momo is quite cute as well.

The name is just fine, especially since it's a yuri isekai.

Jan 4, 2022 9:41 AM by Hoppy

Pretty excited for this one.

Oh yes the Yuri isekai this one seems cool too hype.
