| Predicting the obvious questions, my answer is no, it's not yuri. And no, this is not a clone of You are ander arest, this is more a slice of life about buddy female cops. The anime will be released after the dorama adaptation of the same name, so you can already see what this is about in general terms. |
 |
| Literally no one has heard about this manga before, it's quite hidden. And Madhouse is back for more. |
 |
| I knew i saw this somewhere else already ... https://mydramalist.com/699343-hakozume-koban-joshi-no-gyakushu |
 |
| Are the policewomen both colleagues and a lesbian couple? I sure hope so Madhouse has produced some awesome Yuris in the past I really hope this will be another one Solving crime together, then go home to do some lesbians kissing together,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES Madhouse I want Yuri =P And covers like this make me a bit hopeful this might have some sweet lesbians in it  |
 |
| I was thinking first it was a sequel to https://myanimelist.net/anime/1372/Taiho_Shichau_zo_TV?q=Arrest%20&cat=anime Lol |

I said I HOPE it will be a Yuri. And the manga cover gave off some Yuri vibes IMO Sadly I don't think this is going to be a Yuri, because they are quite rare. But I really hope it will be. Why are you getting so bothered by that? |

It also reminds me of Gunsmith Cats. It's nice to see that the police genre isn't completely dead. I'm watching City Hunter rn and hope they end up making more of them I guess City Hunter isn't really a 'police' anime, but it is kinda adjacent to the genre. I think MAL should've gone with crime instead of police, the latter is pretty niche. |

| When I saw this I was hoping it was going to be yuri. After reading the comments it does not seem it will be that way :/ Anyways hopefully there will be some yuri undertones. Regardless I will plan to watch this when it comes out. |

What I hope for can't be wrong is just something I want Also coming with statements such as, All anime with two female mc is not Yuri. Ok? I never made such claims so I don't understand why you need to point that out to me? Lol All I am saying I """hoping"""" for something lesbian or Yuri vibes in this anime. And if it's not going to be that,, Well it's ok, just another day of Japan disappointing me =P I am used to it by now |

| damn I was already pretty hyped with just the synopsis but it’s also being produced by Madhouse? fire |

And you need two to tango. So there need to be two girls and this anime has two girls. And the manga has IMO Yuri vibes. So there are actually serval factors here that make me hope for something Yuri And no I don't claim every anime with two female mc is a Yuri. But I hope this will be a Yuri =) And I think I can hope for that even if it seems to upset you Anyhow this conversation is starting to be rather pointless to continue. We think differently and that's that. Have a nice evening =) |

Yuri-Crusader said: First you claiming Yuri is rare is wrong considering the niche targeted audience. That's how market works. The work which is liked by most will be available most. Second, Manga has no Yuri vibes, TV adaptation has no Yuri vibes so wanting/hoping yuri or Shoujo Ai in anime when the source is same is pointless and is just whining and forcing your fetishes onto others. I could understand your opinion if there was no source material. Also your profile proves everything others who have been contradicting you said.NinoHaruhara said: because it's a fact. you're hoping it's yuri because the MCs are female which is why I said that, if one of the MCs was a guy you wouldn't have said that. based on what fario said, you probably say about every anime with female MCs. @fario-p yeah it's my first time meeting them, I've seen them a few times before in threads though Well, Yuri is a term they use when two females in anime or manga are having a romantic or spiritual relationship.

| okay i guess... even though it's like 20 years late for the genre |
 |
| Ok, but are they actually going to do serious police stuff or just minor things like giving tickets to those who excede speed limits and other things like that? Considering this is SoL I pressume is gonna be the second. |

They are very similar in concept (comedic female buddy cop story), but otherwise differ in the amount of action and atmosphere. ColdBisquiT said: When I saw this I was hoping it was going to be yuri.

This is seinen with two female leads, of course it will have some gay jokes or fan service. But otherwise it's pure straight. MC even appears with a guy on one of the manga covers, lol. |

| @Aryant The manga actually has strong Yuri vibes IMO. They are holding hands hugging and doing other gay things. So I think they are lesbians. I mean I don't go around holding my friend's hands or constantly hugging them. But If you don't think they are lesbians I respect that. But I have my own interpretation of this fictional media I am not forcing anything on anyone. If you dislike my Yuri speculations please use the ignore function =) And you saying its have no Yuri vibes Lol How do you know? You haven't watched a single Yuri in your life. So I doubt you fully understand the meaning of the Japanese term Yuri But this conversation is now over. I have nothing more to say to you Back on topic I read some of the manga last night. Not going to spoil anything. But those girls seem to be very into each other, which make me more hopeful for some sweet Yuri |

If I see Chris Hemsworth irl you bet I would appreciate his beauty. It doesn't mean I am gay or I want to fuck him. Dude. You need to go Touch Grass. Damn! |

| Wonder is this will be like You're Under Arrest, I hope so. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| I wonder if this is a Yuri. Not that I don’t mind that it’s not. I’m just really curious. But by the looks of it’s more of a slice of life. |
