The story of Yuri is My Job! starts with the cutest high school girl Hime, who everyone considers an angel. Little do they know that every element of her personality is fake, and her goal is to be noticed by a billionaire who would eventually marry her for her charms.
Obviously, nothing will go according to her plan as this is an anime, after all. She gets stuck working in a themed maid cafe, where she learns that there are other people who can fake it better than her.
Experience an unexpected take on the yuri genre with the Yuri Is My Job! Anime. In the brand-new trailer, you can see Hime acting her heart out in the private school-themed cafe.
The video introduces Hime along with Mitsuki, a senior at work who carries an air of elegance. Some of the other characters include the cafe’s manager, a gyaru who works there, and Hime’s friend from school.
During work, Mitsuki acts as a sweet senpai, to the point that she can even deceive Hime. Only in the last few seconds of the video can you see her whispering to Hime how much she hates her.
The dual personalities of Hime and Mitsuki are also exhibited in the latest visuals of Yuri Is My Job! The first visual shows them in character for their customers, where they both treat each other as loving sisters.
In the very next illustration, we can see Mitsuki’s frowning face and Hime, who is scared out of her wits.
