When I started reading Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu!, I didn't have high hopes because the premise felt like the typical protagonist with a fake facade. But after a few chapters, I realized I was wrong.

The Café Liebe is actually super interesting because it sets the stage for all these different relationships, like the "sister" roles the characters take on. Even though these relationships aren't real, they hold a lot of weight. It's basically a café where they have to act, but it’s fascinating to see how they behave outside of those roles.

Then there’s Hime, who’s honestly the best character in the manga. She’s ... all about putting on an act and doesn’t want to work—she just wants to marry someone rich (and has never been in love). But she ends up working at Café Liebe, where she meets someone connected to a trauma from her past. Hime goes through some amazing character growth as the story progresses.

Yano is the coworker from Hime’s past, and I think she’s just as deep as Hime. Her character is well-developed, especially once you understand her feelings and her own past. The relationship between Yano and Hime is really well done, and both characters grow because of each other.

Then there's Kanoko, Hime's best friend, who’s secretly in love with her. Knowing that Hime can't love anyone back, Kanoko sticks around as her best friend anyway. But as she sees Hime changing because of Yano, she really starts to struggle with her feelings. Kanoko is a super complex character, and her thoughts and actions make her really stand out.

Sumika, who also works at the café, has a cool character arc where she goes from hating romance to loving it, which is fun to watch.

One of my main issues with the manga is that there are certain arcs where it focuses so much on specific characters that it kind of forgets about others for like 30 chapters or more. Even with that, the manga is still great.

It’s a yuri story that focuses on drama but has some really beautiful moments too. The characters are so well-written, and they feel real.

Mediocre at best.

It's a mess, it started of very enjoyable and a with quick start wich made me hope for the best. That however was quickly turned into a drag to read it. Every chapter i had to push myself to read further since i was curious but i just wanted to give it up. Hence why i dropped it after Volume 2. It just isn't worth your time when there are many better yuri manga's out there.

There is nothing outstanding in this manga, the art was fair but didn't save the story with it. I liked the way certain notes explained alot since the ... setting of the story is in a german themed café. Yet every chapter didn't make sence, it was hard to follow and at that point not enjoyable anymore. The only thing that was outstanding was the yuri theme and even that felt poorly executed. I couldn't bring myself to read it anymore.

The motive behind the main girl didn't add up either. However the explanation of the training of the girls in the café was good. It did teach me alot of how these café's work.

It's cute and that the only thing it has to offer.

I enjoyed this manga for quite a bit, which is why I'd been following it this far in the first place, but this is it for me now.

It feels like the manga is non-progressing now, every chapter starts feeling dull and the same as before, I don't even want to follow the dialogue anymore.

Characters were interesting at first, but the way the actual romance aspect has been unfolding, I can't say I enjoy it at all.
I once jokingly said that this manga is Citrus but without the mental torture of reading it, turns out, a lot of Citrus's negative aspects are present here too, even ... if they're not as intense.

I'm starting to feel like the author of this manga just wants to keep this work going for the sake of it and not to actually give the readers what they want and since it appears to me that the manga has been slowing down immensely for the past two years, I will just drop it here.
