Yuri Espoir

It began serialization online via Tokuma Shoten's Comic Ryu Web manga website in March 2019, and was licensed for an English-language release by Tokyopop in 2022.

After finding out that she will have to be part of a marriage of convenience to a man upon her graduation from high school, Kokoro Komadori sees no hope in her future.

Written and illustrated by Mai Naoi, Yuri Espoir began serialization online via Tokuma Shoten's Comic Ryu Web manga website on March 20, 2019.

"[9] Erica Friedman of Yuricon praised the first volume's structure, remarking that "the main narrative may or may not be good in the end, but the individual chapters are a fab collection of Yuri tropes remixed in and out of “reality.” I cannot stress this enough – I have not seen a story like this before.

It was really very interesting.” She went on to note that Mai Naoi’s art was "not practiced and slick, but solid enough that both Kokoro and Amami has vastly different styles that are themselves recognizably different from the main narrative.
