Plot
Hime Shiraki is a high school girl who deeply cares about her image as a sweet, helpful princess but on the inside only cares about herself. So when she accidentally injures a café manager named Mai Koshiba, she is willing to cover some shifts to keep her façade intact. Hime ends up working as a waitress at a place that is part café, part theater, where all the waitresses pretend to be students at a fictional all-girls boarding school known as Liebe Girls Academy. Hime finds herself drawn to another waitress at the café, who in front of the customers gives Hime love and devotion like she has never known. However, behind the scenes, the girl seems to hate her guts.Characters

Reception
Manga
Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall B+ grade. Silverman noted that the first volume was "much more interested in the parodic aspects of the story, though, so readers should be prepared for more humor than actual yearning glances, and a certain degree of familiarity with Class S yuri is probably going to make the book more enjoyable". Anime UK News gave the first volume 8/10, praising its strong setup and additional German translation notes.In 2018, Yuri Is My Job! was part of the top 20 finalists featured in the Niconico and Da Vinci's Next Manga Awards. The series has also been featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga for 2019 and 2020.
