Her Two Girlfriends are Everyone’s Favorite Ship; ‘Yuri Tama’ Light Novel Released

The first volume of Toshizou’s comedy Yuri light novel Yuri Tama: From Third Wheel to Trifecta (Yuri no Ma ni Hasamareta Watashi ga, Ikioi de Futamata Shite Shimatta Hanashi) was released in English digitally on October 11. The series is published by J-Novel Club and features artwork by Kuro Shina.

The publisher describes the series:

Yuna Momose and Rinka Aiba were made for each other, and their whole school knows it. Between Yuna’s princess-like elegance and Rinka’s prince-like charm, all their classmates see them as the ideal couple. Yotsuba Hazama is no exception to that, but she is exceptional in another way: she’s somehow managed to become fast friends with both of them!

Having the whole school’s favorite ship as her two best friends isn’t exactly easy, though. Not only does it make everyone treat Yotsuba like a particularly obnoxious third wheel, it makes her feel like one too! Or at least it does, until one day, Yuna asks her out. And then Rinka asks her out too! And Yotsuba, whose social anxiety never seems to kick in until after she’s already messed something up…says yes to both of them, without sparing so much as a single thought for the consequences. Oops!

Now Yotsuba only has one choice: keep her accidental two-timing under wraps and make both of her new girlfriends as happy as she possibly can!

Yuri Tama is notable for its polyamorous elements and inclusion of Yuri shipping culture as a plot element. Although the story focuses on Yotsuba’s anxiety about cheating on both girls by accidentally agreeing to date them both, later revelations recontextualize the relationships and are more favorable to those against NTR stories. The second volume continues the stories of the girls’ romance after they officially get together, which is often the ending point for most Yuri series.

The series began as a short story on Shousetsuka ni Narou before being picked up for publication as a full series by Overlap. A second volume was released in May 2022.

Volume 1 is translated by Tristan K. Hill and edited by Alexandra Fresch. J-Novel Club is currently streaming English chapters of the second volume on their website and will digitally publish the full work on January 17, 2023.
