My Girlfriend’s Not Here Today: English Yuri Manga Guide

Two adult women in plum and lavender clothing exchange a thoughtful glance in a stone city passage at dusk.

My Girlfriend’s Not Here Today is a Yuri manga by Kiyoko Iwami about cheating, blackmail, and secrets within a relationship. Seven Seas publishes it in English. Start with Volume 1 if you want a GL drama built around difficult choices and broken trust.

You may also know it as Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai Kara. Both names refer to the same manga. For light-novel readers trying this title, choose the manga edition; the English books use illustrated panels.

A private account exposes Yuni’s unhappiness

Asahina Yuni uses an anonymous online account to complain about her girlfriend. She then meets the outgoing Taki, who already follows that account. The publisher’s series description introduces blackmail and infidelity as part of the premise.

Choose it if you want to follow a character whose private complaints and new attraction put her existing relationship at risk. If cheating is a theme you avoid, you can make that choice from the opening description alone.

This guide stays with the starting premise and English edition details. It does not reveal later relationship decisions or the ending.

Check the 17+ rating and relationship themes

Seven Seas rates the series Older Teen (17+) and lists Drama and Yuri as its genres. The rating is a first check. It does not tell you how much detail appears in each scene.

Blackmail and cheating are confirmed parts of the premise. This is not a complete content-warning list. If you need to avoid another subject, check the exact volume before you read. Our spoiler-light content-warning guide gives wording for a narrow question that does not request a plot summary.

If you want a gentle romance today, save this title for another time. The publisher makes its focus on betrayal clear before the first chapter.

Begin with the first English volume

The English Volume 1 listing gives 168 pages and a release date of 21 May 2024. Its print ISBN is 9798888438275. Use that number when you ask a bookshop or library for the English paperback.

Read the numbered volumes in order. Check the language and format on the shop page before you order. A volume number alone will not distinguish an English edition from a Japanese one.

If you want a different relationship setting, our How Do We Relationship? guide covers a separate Yuri manga about two college women who begin dating.

Volume 7 is scheduled for 27 October 2026

As checked on 18 October 2026, Seven Seas lists Volume 7 for 27 October 2026. This is a scheduled release date, not confirmation that a retailer has stock. The linked page contains later plot details, so avoid its story summary if you want to keep those events unknown.

Start with Volume 1 before you order later books. Confirm the current date and local availability when you reach Volume 7.
