Reception

Reviewing the series for Otaku USA, Brittany Vincent recommended the manga, noting that "manga fans looking for more realistic depictions of lesbian relationships will especially enjoy it. Yuri Life is a sweet reminder that, even in the most difficult modern times, love is beautiful."[5] Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the series a similarly positive review, giving it an overall rating of 8 and stating that "as a series of entertaining slice-of-life webcomics that feature adult women living lives with the women they love, you can’t really beat Yuri Life."[6]

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network was less impressed, giving Yuri Life an overall C- rating, remarking that "Yuri Life is most likely to only appeal to die-hard fans of yuri manga. It isn't terrible, but it is kind of dull, and the stories aren't long enough to really get us invested in the characters or their lives." [7]
