Yurigurashi (ゆりぐらし) by Kukukuruhime is a full-color Pixiv webcomic put into book form by Kadokawa Media Factory that shows us a variety of mostly adult female couples’ lives together in short 8-page vignettes.

There is no story here, just quick slice-of-happy-life scenes, starring a web site designer and her lover the illustrator, or the college student and pet shop owner and their dog, or the Systems Engineer and the Shinigami who loves her or the OL and freelancer who have a contentious, but loving, relationship. Or some other couple. Each relationship is different, but the overall concept is the same – here is a happy couple. Let’s get to know them!

The art is sketchy and loose, with a different color palette for each couple, a touch I quite like. Backgrounds are sparse, and the overall sense is talking heads, which fits well with the concept. This was a cute, relaxing book to read, full of happy female couples.

Ratings:

Art – 7
Story – N/A
Characters – 8 Are all presented as likable, even the grouchy OL
Service – 3 some nudity, but not salaciously
Yuri – 10

Overall – 8

If you’re looking for a plot, you’ll be disappointed. But for a webcomic-to-print set of Yuri lives, this is a lot of fun.
