I saw people over on Reddit keep saying this is yuri and then I go here and find people saying it's just yuri bait. I don't like yuri and avoid the genre so I'd like to know if this is yuri or not since I saw this is available over on Netflix and might give it a shot.

if you always avoid yuri then I think you should also avoid this one :)

Nothing yuri happened in those 12 episodes besides mild bait and when someone says otherwise, it's just their headcanon. Unless you have yuri fetish like some Crusaders, then you might think it is.
There is foreshadowing of a major male characters playing a role in second season, which might be dangerous to the whole yuri narrative.

It's not exactly yuri, there r baits but it doesn't exactly fall into the yuri genre, maybe the writer was going for fan imagination? something like either keep them both best friends or gl based on what you prefer kinda like those gay sub plots when the protagonist is in fact straight

well it’s undecided since it’s getting continued and the author likes yuri and the character designer replied to a tweet saying “make it yuri !!” and he said “okay!! i like it too!!” plus the ln spin off said takina’s heart was beating really fast when chisato looked at her and she couldn’t look away

oh wait, you don't like yuri? fear not for it isn't, not by a long shot.

P.S. It's just a wholesome friendship while fans usually ship them to something else entirely, like always...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

honestly, seeing the interactions between ChisaTaki makes me wonder how people can think it's not Yuri cause if either of them was a man, EVERYONE would agree it's the start of a romance

I would say it isn’t yuri. I just think people think it’s yuri like for how close they are. It’s ok for girls to be super close friends, that’s just what it is.

I really find their interactions so wholesome, in the anime, its pretty clear tbh. Idk why people are so against yuri, its kinda hilarious, I mean we live in 2023, not the 1800s. People are desperately, trying to label them as "close friends, best friends, roommates" you know how that goes XD

It’s not a yuri but the characters have good chemistry that’s it. People are free to ship to their hearts content but there is no confirmed romantic feelings between the characters. And claiming it’s “bait” kinda paints it in a bad light too As if something has to be explicitly gay or else it’s offensive to gay people. I don’t buy it. If you like shipping cute girls like I do then this show is good for you. But the show isn’t about romance or sexuality at all. People gotta stop with this shit honestly.

Just because everyone doesn't dislike lesbians like you, doesn't mean they have a fetish Lol

Back to topic 

Is this a Yuri? Well, Even if some users with no knowledge about Yuri whatsoever try to claim Yuri has to be a lesbian romance doesn't make that statement true 

Yuri is when they portray a close female relationship, spiritual or romantic. That's it. They have an intimate relationship with each other. So it is technically a Yuri but not a romance. I call those kinds of anime for Yuri vibes, just to differentiate them from the stronger Yuri with lesbian kissing and romancing       

Yuri (Japanese: 百合, lit. "lily"), also known by the wasei-eigo construction girls' love (ガールズラブ, gāruzu rabu), is a genre of Japanese media focusing on intimate relationships between female characters. While lesbianism is a commonly associated theme, the genre is also inclusive of works depicting emotional and spiritual relationships between women that are not necessarily romantic or sexual in nature

It's only yuri if you want it to be. I had no reason to ship these two characters, and therefore I never once got that impression. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

That shit sounds like an outlier at best, either way it's simply not the way yuri is most commonly used, so it isn't helpful to include non-romance.

Well, Yuri is a Japanese term, used in this manner even if we agree with it or not. But here on MAL they often don't put the girl's love or Yuri tag on anime like this. Only on stronger Yuri that often has romance in it. So if a person dislikes or wants to aviod lesbian romance, but has nothing against intimate girl-on-girl relationships that tag can be helpful

No. That tag would be nothing but confusing, so it's a good thing that MAL only focusses on the commonly understood romance definition.

No? Lol I didn't disagree with you =) 

I just stated how the term Yuri is used in Japan and what it really is. Which can and are confusing from time to time. Here on mal it's more helpful even if it's not always used correctly. So this a Yuri. But it's not what MAL defines as a girl love anime

This feels like reading through Twitter comments with how badly people want it to be yuri, that they’re stretching any tiny thing into proof that they are a couple.

It isn’t yuri. There is basically no romance throughout the entire show. People who say it are just those obsessive fanfiction types who love coupling same-sex people in any media (e.g. MHA or K-pop idols). These people ruined Kakegurui and they’re doing it to this now.

It depends on your definition. It has elements of yuri if you understand how the term is used in Japan and by fans to describe creative works.
