Poly Lesbian Light Novel 'Yuri Tama' Volume 2 Released in English

On January 17, J-Novel Club digitally released the second volume of toshizou's Yuri light novel series Yuri Tama: From Third Wheel to Trifecta The Second (Yuri no Ma ni Hasamareta Watashi ga, Ikioi de Futamata Shite Shimatta Hanashi). The series is notable for its polyamorous relationship between its three female main characters.

In the first volume, protagonist Yotsuba Hazama gets asked out by her both of her best friends, Yuna and Rinka. Unintentionally two-timing the girls causes her enough stress as is. But, she is now also despised by everyone else at school, who ship Yuna and Rinka and treat Yotsuba like an obnoxious third wheel.

The publisher describes the volume:

Yotsuba Hazama has it made. Summer vacation's just around the corner, and she gets to spend it with her two new girlfriends…if she can avoid their fan club's wrath, pass all her finals, and figure out why her sisters are treating her so coldly! Yotsuba Hazama has it made. Summer vacation is just around the corner, and this year she gets to spend it with her two girlfriends, Yuna and Rinka! Sure, she'll spend it doing makeup lessons instead unless she passes all her finals, but how hard could that be? And her girlfriends' fan club is a ticking time bomb in the background of her school life, but it's not like that has any chance of causing her problems! And, yes, her little sisters have been treating her with an inexplicable mixture of contempt and suspicion lately, but there's no way that'll go anywhere unpleasant! On second thought, let's start over: Yotsuba Hazama is in way over her head! Her first-ever summer with her new girlfriends is in peril of flunking-induced cancellation, her social standing at school is dangling by a thread, and she can't even figure out what's wrong with her relationship with her sisters, but it's definitely going to be a problem! Who knew having two girlfriends could be this difficult?!

Yuri Tama is published in Japanese by Overlap. The first volume was published in Japanese in November 2021, and the second in May 2022. Both volumes are illustrated by Kuro Shina.

Tristan K. Hill translates the light novels in English.

Yuri Tama: From Third Wheel to Trifecta

THE PREMISE: Yotsuba's the plain friend of the hottest power couple in school... soon to be their GIRLFRIEND! It's the making of an unlikely lesbian polycule! I was all for it, and I start reading, and...

Guys I hate Yotsuba. I haaaate her. I don't HATE her hate her, there's nothing really wrong with her... but it's written in first person and I hate being inside her head! She prattles! She can fill three pages of light novel in a stream-of-consciousness roll about how hot her girlfriends are! I know it's not terrible on its own! But I couldn't stand it!!! Just going on and on and on about the exact personalities of her two younger sisters and how she always makes dinner, or how pretty the tall one looks playing basketball, or how the smart one has such good manners, just aaaagh...

But there's three volumes, and I wanted to see what happens to mah girl. So I look up summaries... and for some reason, the summaries for the second book are kinda scarce? And I find some reviews-

And the word "incest" starts coming up... like a LOT... involving the sisters...

And there's that phrase "sexual assault" again...

Soooo I dropped it. Shame, it's one of the very very few I read that wasn't fantasy. All right, onto the next one...
