Viral Yuri Web Comic 'The Guy She Liked Wasn't a Guy At All' Set to Release First Print Volume in Japan this Month

The first bound volume of Sumiko Aria's popular Yuri web comic Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta (The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All) will be released in Japan on April 19. The manga was initially released independently on the author's Twitter in April 2022, where it went viral.

The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All follows Aya Oosawa, a popular high school gyaru who falls in love with the cool employee at her local records store, unaware that her crush is not a boy, but a girl in her class, Mitsuki Koga.

The doujin went viral on Twitter, with the first episode acquiring more than 400,000 likes. Viewers particularly praised the storytelling, art, and character designs, particularly Mitsuki, whose design incorporates androgynous alternative fashion.

The series went on hiatus in early March so that Arai could finalize the print releases, but will return the week of April 10, according to the author's Twitter.

The bound manga edition was announced by Arai on Twitter in February. It is published by Kadokawa and will be available in Japanese print and digital formats.

In their announcement, Arai thanked readers for their support in making the manga possible, writing on Twitter:

This book exists because of everyone's support for me over the past year. Thank you very much. I will do my best to continue drawing. Please watch over me. And to my dearest international readers — I cannot express how huge of a part you guys played in making my dreams come true. Thank you so much for being here and loving Mitsuki & Aya for a whole entire year, they’re going to be printed.

The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All is not currently licensed in English, but you can let publishers know your interest on social media and through licensing surveys.

Sumiko Aria is a mangaka known for their distinctive art style and character designs. They are a relative newcomer, having previously released only one webcomic on Comico, Bokura wa Kanojo ni Isonshou, and Makoto no Momoka and contributing onshots to Enterbrains Terang anthology and the November 2021 issue of Comic Yuri Hime.

im mistynat FOR LIFE but hear me out

mistylot (slightly) canon divergence

misty and lottie start dating post rescue bc nat dumped both for travis - again - and misty visited lottie at the hospital for a while because she needed someone to talk to about the whole situation. someone who truly understood her (in this instance, at least - two lesbians suffering over a bisexual girl who likes emo boys).

for some reason, they break up during the early-mid 2000's. an ugly break-up, makes both of them spiral into their worst versions all over again. lottie starts the "intentional community" and tries really hard to stay in touch with reality, while misty sinks into reddit and unresolved murder cases until she can't really think of anything else.

and this goes on until natalie gets out of rehab (again) looking for misty and all the canon adult stuff from season 1 happens - mistys love and caring for natalie, an old flame reignites. also, the beginning of season 2 - lotties need to make natalie 'heal' and her attempt to reconnect.

then, inevitably, misty and lottie reunite in s2 in lotties cult - we see them getting all weird during their first interaction, they try to act as if nothing has happened since none of the other girls have a clue about their past together (none of them answered misty nor visited lottie anyway, it was their secret).

they focus on fighting over nat again, just like old times, but obviously it doesn't work: lottie uses nat as an excuse to keep misty with them, misty gets crazy over lotties jealousy of nat...

they keep this chaotic dynamic until nat dies - misty stays in bed for weeks, mourning, and lottie is sent back to the mental facility, against her will. without natalie, they're both the outcasts again, so they try to bond with shauna. lottie tries to stay at her house, learning about her family and befriending callie, while misty tries to do the same she used to do with natalie, she wants shauna to do road trips and solve mysteries with her.

the day shauna asks misty to babysit callie (and lottie, lol) they have such a weird reunion, both mourning and with so many unresolved feelings. misty is clearly mad with lottie, but lottie comforts her and, again, they become each others safe haven.

that's when they start remembering the old times - slowly.

DID YALL SEE THE VISIONNN its basically canon

someone write this please........

Natalie & Misty adoring each other throughout time . . .

They are so in love, your honor!

I love comparing mistynat from both timelines side by side. We don’t get to see these two interact as often in the wilderness, but whenever we do, there’s these brief little moments of adoration between them that we get to see transcend time. ♡

I'm killing myself rn

He started calling your saved contacts. Misty. No one answered until he got to W.
