Ok, so I broke down and started reading a fan-translated version of this manga. In my defence, I guarantee that I will buy a physical copy as soon as it comes out in English. I tried to get volume 1 in Japanese from Amazon Japan but they were sold out. This is one popular manga….

I’ve been having bad luck with my Yuri Lately. I started watching Maria Watches Over Us but it wasn’t for me and I dropped it quickly. Yuri is My Job was a really cute manga but it got too repetitive and by volume 5 my interest sort of wane. Days of Love at Seagull Villa…
