I liked the cover art when I saw it. So that is what sold me originally. Hope there is more later one.

This manga has been on my radar since it was announced. The review has now bumped it up to a must-get. Very Happy

Happy to see this manga finally released; it's been a favorite of mine for a long time, and i've been anticipating buying these volumes. The reviewer hit the nail on the head with the fine line this manga treads; Jahy's situation is honestly pretty hopeless and tragic, and it would feel mean if she wasn't the cause of most of her own troubles. Fortunately, the humor is very funny (and very relatable if you've ever been in financial straights), and while Jahy faces many challenges and struggles, it's ultimately a light-hearted read.

I would like to ask, how much is it yuri or yuri-ish? I know that the author of the manga is a fairly well-known yuri author and with the exception of some works, she mostly draws only yuri.

Not terribly - there aren't any male characters to speak of, and I suppose the boss could be seen as having a crush on Jahy, but mostly this is plain old comedy.

So, this is a typical ecchi CGDCT, where some things depend on what you read them?

MUCH less than Dragon Maid. (That could change in later volumes, of course.)

I don't know whether to be sad because of no yuri or happy because no loli yuri. I'll just call it a win for comedy and no loli yuri.
