Volume 2 of the Green Yuri Manga Deals With the Reveal

The title of The Guy She was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All explains the whole point of the The Green Yuri manga, so it isn’t exactly a shock to anyone aside from one of the lead characters in the first volume. But at the end of it, everyone knows the secret twist. Which means the second volume starts off in an even more fun place when it comes to the situation and relationship between Aya Oosawa and Mitsuki Koga. Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for volume 2 of The Guy She was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All, aka The Green Yuri, below. As a quick refresher, Aya Oosawa and Mitsuki Koga are classmates in high school. Mitsuki is incredibly quiet there, while Aya is popular. Aya loves Western music and rock/alternative stuff. She visits a record store, where it turns out Mitsuki works. However, due to Mitsuki’s personal style outside school and wearing a face mask at the time, Aya mistakes her for a guy and develops a crush. Much of the first volume deals with both Mitsuki agonizing over the realization, Aya not knowing, and people around them realizing what’s going on. Image via Yen Press With The Green Yuri volume 2, the manga’s gotten past that revelation and is dealing with a whole knew phase of things: acceptance. Aya knows. Mitsuki knows. They’re adjusting to the fact that they aren’t strangers anymore. However, that comes with whole new challenges. As we saw at the end of the first volume, Mitsuki performed as a way to reach out to Aya and make her feelings heard. Because of her awkwardness about forming connections with people and Aya’s awkwardness with her crush on Mitsuki, there are misunderstandings and moments that make you audibly gasp. But in a good way! For example, I had one of these moments immediately after this volume begins. Aya is all flustered by Mitsuki and her responses. She’s unsure if she’s reading into it. She’s shy! She’s awkward! She’s running away constantly because she can’t face her feelings! So Mitsuki catches her in class to check in on her, and the responses of both young women is too perfect. It’s so sweet and adorable. I won’t spoil it, but it perfectly captures each of their personalities, as well as how suited they are for each other. And it keeps happening. I’d say creator Sumiko Arai can’t keep doing this, but I want that. The series is too perfect and cute. Especially since this volume feels dedicated to Aya and Mitsuki dealing with the aftermath of the reveal and what appears to be the gradual response to them having feelings for each other. Like one of the major plot points in this installment is the introduction of Kanna. I won’t mention who she is, as that’s part of the fun of this part of the storyline. But what’s great about her introduction is we see someone else Mitsuki is close to and opens up around. You know, like the way she does around Aya sometimes. And we can see Aya starting to realize that “crush” she had on “that guy” is genuine, real feelings for who Mitsuki is as a person. Which means she is so jealous about the situation, and it is so adorable and funny. Especially since Kanna sees what is going on and teases her about it. So much of this volume of the The Guy She was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All manga is about those moments, as The Green Yuri girls are starting to work things out. Aya and Mitsuki learning to relate to each other. Them figuring out their feelings. The funny, cute, and awkward scenes that come up as their relationship develops. We’re watching them grow and come together. It’s so charming and endearing, because you can tell this is real and the start of a healthy romance. Volume 2 of The Guy She was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All is available now, and Yen Press will handle volume 3 of The Green Yuri manga as well. An anime adaptation is in development as well.
