But one day, a newbie voice actress arrives at her agency—That very Karin-sama! While delighted at this unexpected reunion, Suzune opts to keep a calm head and a comfortable distance between the two. To her shock, however, Karin aggressively approaches Suzune on every possible occasion. Was Suzune simply being used at Karin’s convenience?

Will they remain as business yuri partners, or is there something else waiting at the end of the line for them…?

I was left wanting more! It's not necessarily a flaw, but it's something to be aware of going in. If you're looking for a long, epic romance, this isn't it. ### Final Verdict Overall, *Watashi no Yuri mo, Eigyou da to Omotta?* is a delightful and heartwarming yuri story.
