Yuri Fan Father Shaken by His Daughter Bringing Home a Gal Girlfriend: 'My Daughter Brought Her Girlfriend' Manga Released

Kurisaki King's highly anticipated manga 'My Daughter Brought Her Girlfriend' (娘が彼女を連れてきた話) released its first volume on June 19 under Bunka-sha's orSiS COMICS label. The publisher aims to deliver the series to readers without pause by releasing two consecutive monthly volumes; the second volume will be published on July 16.

The manga centers on a father obsessed with the yuri genre. When his daughter brings someone home, that person is not the 'innocent yuri heroine' of his dreams, but rather a full-fledged gal (a modern, flashily dressed young girl), leading to a comedic conflict. Kurisaki King is known for short yuri illustrations that went viral on social media, and with this series, he turns the genre's usual dynamics upside down around a father figure.

The yuri genre has gained great momentum in recent years, especially on digital platforms. 'My Daughter Brought Her Girlfriend' contributes to this rise from a different perspective: a father trying to make sense of his daughter's same-sex relationship through 'his own yuri fetish' creates both absurd and sincere storytelling. The fact that the series is planned for two volumes promises a short but impactful story.

For manga fans, this news means that a universe they know from panels shared on social media by Kurisaki King is now officially in print. The first volume can be read until the second volume's release on July 16, and it is a matter of curiosity how much depth the series will gain. If you like yuri, family comedy, and stories of the 'I wish our dad would react like that' kind, it's worth adding this manga to your list.
