Yuri Mini Review: “Lilies Blooming in 100 Days” Manga

Oct 7

Introducing our “Yuri Mini Reviews”! As part of our mission to spread the word about all things Yuri, we will be doing quick reviews that highlight the work and give our take on the material but don’t take a lot of time to read. We know you would rather spend more quality time actually reading Yuri but also know it can hard to find what to read next, so we are here to help!

Manga: “Lilies Blooming in 100 Days”

Publisher: Yen Press

Author & Artist: Muromaki

Available to read: BookWalker website and app. (Review copy courtesy of BookWalker.)

Publisher Synopsis: This beautifully illustrated, full-color collection of comics features one hundred different Yuri scenes! Packed full of high school, adult, and age-gap couples in cute, funny, and spicy scenarios, this book contains plenty of unique pairings to enjoy. Watch as romance blossoms in classrooms and bedrooms alike!

Spoiler Free Mini Review: This Girls Love anthology manga is a nice easy read with all your favorite types of Yuri stories. The short stories are literally broken into “100 Days” with Yuri scenarios like: “Aquarium Date”, “Office Lady Senpai and Kouhai”, “Honors Student x Trendy Girl”, and “Fresh-Start College Student x Party Girl”.

Our favorites were the adult relationships, especially the office romances. Certain stories left us wanting more, and we kelp wishing the author would have expanded certain stories into long form manga.

Overall, we were impressed by the beautiful art style. The whole volume is in full color and the author and artist, Muromaki, did such a great job paying attention to the simple details like the characters clothing. Those simple details truly add to the enjoyment of the story for the reader. For Yuri lovers who want a quick fun read and don’t want to settle for one type of Yuri story, this manga is perfect for you.

We look forward to the sequel, “Lilies in Love for 101 Days”, that will be released by Yen Press next year and available on BookWalker.
