What is Yuri Is My Job!?#
Yuri Is My Job! (also known as Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto Desu!) is a compelling blend of romance and drama that explores the gap between public image and private reality. The story follows Hime, a high school girl who meticulously maintains a persona of being a sweet, helpful “princess,” while in reality, she is primarily concerned with herself.
Hime finds herself manipulated into working as a waitress at a unique establishment: a hybrid café and theater. Here, the staff pretend to be students at a fictional German all-girls boarding school. While working, Hime develops feelings for a fellow waitress who treats her with an overwhelming amount of love and devotion in front of the customers. However, there is a significant catch—behind the scenes, her crush actually hates her.
If you enjoy stories about complex interpersonal dynamics and the tension of “fake” relationships, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to see this drama unfold.
Is the Anime Finished?#
If you are wondering whether the anime provides a complete and satisfying conclusion to the story, it is important to look at the source material. Yuri Is My Job! is an adaptation of a manga that began serialization in Comic Yuri Hime in November 2016.
Because the manga is the primary source and has a history of ongoing publication, those who watch only the anime may find themselves wanting more. The manga has faced some production challenges, including an indefinite hiatus due to the creator’s health in June 2024, but fans were pleased to see the series return from that 15-month hiatus in July 2025.
For a full understanding of the characters’ journeys and a complete conclusion, you will likely need to continue with the manga after finishing the anime. You can buy the manga here to catch up on the latest developments.
Who Should Watch This?#
This series is best suited for viewers who enjoy the Yuri theme combined with romantic drama. Its primary appeal lies in the “enemies-to-lovers” potential and the irony of the café’s theatrical setting. It appeals to audiences who like characters with hidden depths—or in Hime’s case, hidden flaws—and the tension that arises when public performance clashes with private feelings.
