Production company Infinite announced on Saturday that Miman's Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu! (Yuri is My Job!) manga is receiving a television anime adaptation. The company also opened a website and revealed the main cast, staff, two teaser visuals (one of them pictured), and a teaser promotional video.

Yui Ogura (Yama no Susume) and Sumire Uesaka (Koisuru Asteroid) are starring as Hime Shiraki and Mitsuki Yano, respectively.

Staff
Director: Hijiri Sanpei (Joshikousei no Mudazukai, Citrus assistant director)
Character Design: Taisuke Iwasaki (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou sub-character design, Monogatari Series: Second Season chief animation director)
Production: Infinite
Studio: Passione, Studio Lings

Miman began serializing the romantic comedy manga in Comic Yuri Hime magazine in November 2016. Ichijinsha shipped the ninth volume on November 18, with the tenth volume scheduled to release on May 18. Kodansha USA licensed the manga in English in July 2018 and released the eighth volume on February 8.

Synopsis
Life appears promising for Hime Shiraki, a girl with good grades, a flawless reputation, and a cute face to top it all off. As long as she can keep up her picture perfect facade, she will be able to accomplish her dream: to be loved by everyone and become the trophy wife of a billionaire.

On a day like any other, Hime slips down a flight of stairs and lands on top of Mai Mikoshiba, injuring the latter's arm. It turns out that Mai is the manager of a cafe, and the injury will make work impossible for her. It is decided that while Mai recovers, Hime will have to replace Mai at Café Liebe, which boasts an all-girls academy theme.

Despite causing Mai's injury, Hime is accepted by the other staff members, with the exception of one girl who seems to hate her for reasons unknown. Hime becomes terrified that this girl has seen past her facade, which reminds her of a troubling event in her past. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I want to say YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!! Finally some Yuri romance

But this is made by the trash studio that made Citrus and that is a big red flag.IMO Citrus is one of the worst Yuri ever made

I do hope this will be good. I prefer girls only, and a lot of sweet lesbian kisses,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

The manga has been on my PTR list for a while. Yuri is always welcome. Here's hoping it's not just bait.

I can't wait to see all the shit this anime will get (its already getting lol)

That said, I hope the studio will make a good adaptation and perhaps give us a second season or smh.

I think there is merit to what is being said about this isn't for everyone. As someone who is caught up to the latest official translation, it is tailored for people with specific tastes.

I do like the source material and enjoy reading it, and I do think I will enjoy the anime adaption. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a low rating on MAL. Hard to say though, would love to be wrong about that.

Even though I have never read the manga before, I look forward to the anime. Heard that the manga is pretty good and will read it later.

I never see this kind of "warning" when another hackneyed romcom is announced.

Did you even read my post? You're saying all that to someone who has already read the manga. Sure, I didn't read it all because it didn't click with me so I dropped it and that's exactly what my post is about. This isn't for everyone and it tells when you look at the reviews of the manga here on MAL.

If you think you're going to enjoy it based on the synopsis alone then go for it. I'm not telling anyone to not watch this, I'm just saying it might no be everyone's cup of tea even if they're seasoned yuri fans.


I also read the manga a bit and I certainly disagree with you, it is not uncommon to consider that people can have a completely different point of view from another, I just want people not to get carried away by bad opinions and condemn the anime as it happened with virgin road that most people don't pay attention to story


You're being awfully combative about a harmless warning that might save some people their time. I'm only saying the anime might not be for everyone and that's not a bad thing and it's far from being a "bad opinion". I'm not slandering the manga or putting it in a bad light. You liked it, I get it. But discussion forums aren't meant to be an echo chamber of positivity. Unlike here where we only have people going "wah i'm so excited", ANN had a much more productive discussion about this adaptation. Check out the comments in this article.

I AM taking into consideration that people have different tastes and points of view and that's exactly why I made my post in the first place. For an example, anyone that likes wholesome cutesy sugary yuri would probably not enjoy this. And what the hell does Virgin Road has to do with any of this? I fail to see the relevance...

I disagree, it seems to me like a yuri refreshing with a bit of drama and good comedy and is not just slice of life with one-sided romance

I'm gonna pass on this one, even though I love yuri the manga didn't click for me.

For anyone who's excited about this but didn't read the source material I'd say to lower you expectations. A Lot.

Three out of the four reviews of the manga here on MAL have a low score and imho that's about right. This is one of those series that isn't for everyone, even if you're a huge fan of the genre.

Welp, I'm fucking sold based on the title and the synopsis xD

Can Japan not comprehend relationships where one party isn't being somehow legally or financially coerced into it? Horrendous, pass.

Two main characters are voiced by King Records members (if Inorin join this casts, it will be reunion of Hamefura + Hoshiiro Girldrop + Vivid Strike)

This looks like a remix of Strawberry Panic! and I am in for it.

It would be a great anime because It's Passione.
