Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I thought we\u2019d check back in on Hime\u2019s part-time adventures, as we explore the second episode of Yuri is My Job! Having forcibly established a \u201cSchwestern\u201d bond of sisterhood with her coworker Mitsuki, Hime has solidified her place in the cafe\u2019s kayfabe dynamic while simultaneously earning the enmity of Mitsuki herself. Though Hime is accustomed to performance, she has little fluency with the unspoken rules of engagement here, and seems poised to trample over any number of sacred traditions in her acclamation to life at Liebe Academy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, tangled as it is, that\u2019s only the first layer of drama we\u2019re dealing with here. Through its transposing of Class S traditions to this maid cafe-reminiscent venue, Yuri is My Job! is also naturally interrogating how the aesthetics of personal liberation can themselves become a new kind of limiting convention, as well as how performances of selfhood can either mask or facilitate emotional sincerity both in fiction and our own lives. Can these genre-born rituals convey genuine personal truths, offering vectors for feelings that must otherwise remain unspoken? And how does that hope square with the expectations of the audience, their insistence on performances that abide by strict models of personal expression? This show\u2019s concerns stretch beyond the specific confines of Cafe Liebe\u2019s performances, exploring the new realities of intimacy in an age where confessions are also Content, and finding a perfect vehicle for the universal in the specificity of the yuri boarding school\u2019s narrative conventions. It\u2019s a fascinating stew, so let\u2019s not waste any more time talking around it, and get right into the action!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 2<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Welp, I guess we can now explain that \u201cSchwestern in Liebe!\u201d subtitle<\/span><\/p>\n

And we\u2019ll obviously be digging into the middle school memories that have informed Hime and Mitsuki\u2019s current attitudes, as this pan around their younger selves promises<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the OP makes it clear that Kanoko is doomed to become the abandoned childhood friend<\/span><\/p>\n

We open on Kanoko and Hime enjoying an afternoon outing together, Kanoko practically glowing with lesbian longing<\/span><\/p>\n

Kanoko\u2019s friendship is already useful in terms of offering a baseline of Hime behavior, when she\u2019s not performing for either her classmates or customers<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The composite here is sadly not great; the characters don\u2019t really look like they inhabit their CG backdrops, instead appearing like stickers pasted upon them<\/span><\/p>\n

At work, Mai tells her not to inform anyone she works here<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReality is an obstacle when it comes to maintaining the school\u2019s atmosphere. If your friends from school came by just to mess around, it would ruin everything, right?\u201d Her words emphasize how complete this illusion is intended to be, the profound amount of additional labor involved in maintaining this fantasy for the audience\u2019s benefit, above and beyond their duties as waitresses. This in turn echoes one of the frustrating assumptions of our digital age, wherein we are expected to always be selling ourselves as a carefully composed product<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And of course, that just makes the allegedly confessional, intimate nature of these performances all the more ironic. Their performances of their \u201cunguarded\u201d selves are actually them at their most fabricated, whereas offering a simple, sincere \u201cjeez, when does my shift end\u201d would shatter the illusion of intimacy they are selling<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of false intimacy, back at school, Kanoko freezes when she\u2019s asked what Hime was like in middle school, straight-up ignoring her questioners until Hime intervenes to provide the desired answer. She can\u2019t maintain Hime\u2019s kayfabe, but she also won\u2019t betray her friend\u2019s performance, and as a result she sacrifices her own opportunity to earnestly bond with her classmates<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to assert your feelings or you\u2019ll get pushed around,\u201d Hime tells her. Kanoko has a hard enough time just expressing her authentic emotions, much less juggling three performances at once. Though of course, performance can actually be a way to formalize social interaction such that it makes logical sense, and is thus less intimidating or confusing. Ritual can be a comfort to those who see unprompted social interactions as too chaotic, or too likely to result in abandonment when you attempt to reveal your true self. I imagine Kanoko will find some comfort in that once she joins the cafe<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s precisely these ambiguities that makes these topics so unresolvable, and thus so interesting. Genre-derived tropes can be a way of hiding your authentic feelings, but they can also be a way of seeking common ground with others, of developing a language of mutual understanding<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get like this even with me sometimes!\u201d Hime is pretty dense herself<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god. Kanoko has an entire collection of candid Hime photos that she scrolls to cheer herself up. GIRL<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they\u2019re making me act like a cute student in the middle of all of this\u2026\u201d The term \u201cemotional labor\u201d has had a rough go of it in recent years, but this is the actual essence of it: being forced to perform the happy servant for customers, a massive further imposition on top of your actual job<\/span><\/p>\n

Kanoko then shows up at Cafe Liebe, having presumably tailed Hime there<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease treat her like you would a stranger.\u201d The performance of intimacy offered by Liebe demands disavowing any actual real-world intimacy. It feels a lot like idol culture, where genuine humanity is often treated as a betrayal of the fans\u2019 expectations. Of course, in our modern age, basically any creator is expected to also be a product themselves; stan culture was really just the prelude to a full media environment defined by unfettered access to public figures, who are expected to act like your personal friends<\/span><\/p>\n

As Kanoko seeks to learn more about her actual friend\u2019s interests, Hime is forced to act like she doesn\u2019t know her. The demand for a specific performance inhibits our ability to genuinely connect with each other<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease read the room! It\u2019s an act!\u201d To Kanoko, who already struggles with social interactions, Hime\u2019s performance of course seems like a rejection<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hah! And of course, Kanoko is intimidated by Hime\u2019s apparent intimacy with Mitsuki, even though that\u2019s all an act. Just like with in her normal daily interactions, Kanoko\u2019s lack of familiarity with the assumed script makes everything seem too intimidating<\/span><\/p>\n

As Kanoko flounders, Mai sees potential in her aura and this overall dynamic, and fetches another uniform<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast with Kanoko, Hime has no problem calling her cute in her new uniform<\/span><\/p>\n

Though they both understand the words they\u2019re saying, they\u2019re nonetheless not speaking in a common language. To Hime, \u201ccute\u201d is a tossed-off descriptor of little significance – to Kanoko, it is everything. Given such vast gulfs in understanding, it\u2019s easy to see why we flock to formalized codes of behavior drawn from fiction in order to truly comprehend each other<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hime cannot understand why Kanoko would actively want to work here, failing to see either what this formalized venue offers for Kanoko, or how Kanoko feels about her<\/span><\/p>\n

Funny how Hime affirming she\u2019s performing her facade here actually comforts Kanoko, and she responds \u201cyou\u2019re still the Hime I know!\u201d An affirmation of performance actually assures her that her friend is still the same person – it is the performance that is most \u201creal\u201d to her understanding of Hime<\/span><\/p>\n

Kanoko is also relieved to learn that Mitsuki actually doesn\u2019t like Hime at all<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hime and Kanoko are then tasked with shadowing their senpais and learning to take orders. Interesting seeing Hime\u2019s reactions here – even though she\u2019s used to performance, her affectation is generally for her own benefit, rather than for the satisfaction of an audience like this<\/span><\/p>\n

God, so much bonus labor goes into just taking a simple order at this place. What a stressful job!<\/span><\/p>\n

As expected, Kanoko is better able to express her fondness for Hime within the guise of their Liebe Girls\u2019 Academy characters, and the audience actually loves it<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hime then runs into a new problem: all of their goddamn menu items are in German<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at Cafe Liebe, Kanoko\u2019s shyness is actually applauded as acting true to a specific character archetype<\/span><\/p>\n

We get one of those infrequent flourishes of fluid, weighted character acting as Mitsuki drags Hime back to the staff room<\/span><\/p>\n

The two share a moment of genuine intimacy as Hime thanks Mitsuki for covering her. And then Kanoko marches in, newly disoriented regarding the relationship between the two of them<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Thus things only get worse for our poor Hime, who is now being judged on her performance not just by her customers and coworkers, but also by the one sincere friend who knows her best. Kanoko joining the Cafe Liebe staff means Hime has basically no neutral territory anymore, no part of her life that isn\u2019t mediated in one way or another by the demands of a given audience. And with Kanoko falling so naturally into the timid underclassman archetype, Hime is feeling all the more pressure to live up to this ritualized performance of intimacy. Dazzling the crowd was fun and even liberating when it was an active choice, but now Hime\u2019s every step must meet the approval of a harshly critical audience. When you live to please everyone, what is left of your private self?<\/span><\/p>\n
