comment |
After a less than stellar experience in middle school, Renako Amaori is determined to make the best of her high school years. To do that, she approaches the most popular girl in school, Mai Oduka, as soon as the school year starts, and succeeds in joining her group of friends. Unfortunately, acting like one of the popular girls when she has always been a lonely person turns out to be mentally exhausting. One day, she goes alone to the rooftop of the school to relax, but Mai finds her and gets the impression she is about to commit suicide. The misunderstanding actually ends with both completely opening to the other, and Renako goes home happy that she finally found someone she can call her best friend.At least until Mai gives her a Love Confession the following day and asks her out.Now the desires of Renako and Mai are in conflict. One wants them to be best friends, the other wants them to become lovers. A competition then starts: they will act like lovers in some days and as best friends in others, each trying to convince the other that the relationship they envision as the best. And so, Renako's very unique high school life starts!Written by Mikami Teren and illustrated by Takeshima Eku, There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless… (Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wakenaijan, Muri Muri! (*Muri Janakatta!?), literally "There's No Way I Can Have a Lover! *Or Maybe There Is!?") is an ongoing light novel series of the Yuri Genre. The first volume was released in February 2020, with a manga adaptation by Musshu starting three months later. Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed the series in English, with the first manga volume being released in April 2023, and the first light novel volume, the following month. |

Forceful Kiss: Mai delivers a couple of those to Renako. Usually when she is annoyed by the latter trying to downplay their relationship or deny her feelings. |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Not only does Renako's younger sister repeatedly reminds her sister of her time as a hikikomori, she bribes her to buy snack by threatening to reveal this to her classmates. It also turns out that despite all that she brags about her sister being friends with Mai Oduka, something Renako ironically relates to. Ajisai also often complains about how much work her younger brothers are, demanding her attention and interrupting her moments with Renako. It's not nearly as bad as Renako's relationship with her own sister though. |

Hidden Depths |
| | There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless… / int_2dc0d2bf |
comment |
Hidden Depths: The relationship/competition between Renako and Mai starts with them exchanging Hidden Depths with each other. Mai feels insecure about her public persona because she sometimes thinks she is just acting as people expect her to. Renako is really a very socially awkward person and feels mentally exhausted keeping up with the popular people. Renako's is a two-fold one, as her social awkwardness actually comes from a deep-seated self-hatred, which she keeps well hidden until Volume 4. |

| | There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless… / int_3a79872e |
comment |
Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female: Downplayed. Mai is very much portrayed as being wrong in pushing Renako down and touching her without permission. However, she still gets Easily Forgiven at the end of Volume 1. Though it's important to note that Mai was about to commit a big mistake in an attempt to "redeem" herself, and the forgiveness was partially to put a stop to it. |

Satsuki gets plenty of Ship Tease with Renako in Volume 2, but ultimately calls her just a friend. However, it's believed In-Universe she may have feelings for Mai. |

Peerless Love Interest: A big part of the reason Renako initially refuted Mai is that she has trouble understanding why the most famous and desired girl in school would want her for a girlfriend. Her inner monologues across Volume 1 show that she feels a lot of pressure when she is seen together with Mai. This unveils their respective character arcs: Mai wants someone who can stand at her side as an equal, and Renako needs to learn to love herself. |

Lonely at the Top: There are plenty of people that admire and flat-out worship Mai, but she is aware that's very different from having a friend or a lover. This loneness makes her deeply treasure Satsuki and Ajisai for being her friends as equals and leads to her falling in love and confessing to Renako merely one day after a heart-to-heart talk with her. |

Not So Above It All: The usually confident and seductive Mai becomes a lot quieter when visiting Renako's room for the first time. The second time, she admits she was nervous. She later gets entranced into silence by the sight of Renako's panties, to the disbelief of the other girl. Despite being a self-aware Ice Queen, Satsuki gets very flustered when she and Renako accidentally kiss, and it doesn't get better when the possibility of her entering a real romantic relationship appears. |

Pseudo-Romantic Friendship |
| | There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless… / int_a058376e |
comment |
Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: Discussed through Volume 1 as part of the "Best Friends vs. Lovers" match. Renako believes actually dating would lead to constant stressing over the relationship and tries to argue that being best friends is better. However, it's also clear that she expects a deep emotional connection with her best friend, who she describes as someone she can always trust to be by her side. Mai notes this isn't very different from what she considers to be "girlfriends". |

comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each chapter title in the novels ends with Muri Muri! (It's impossible, or There is no way! Due to the way Japanese grammar works, a more literal translation into English would actually put those words at the beginning of the chapters rather than the end). |

Selective Obliviousness |
| | There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless… / int_b0bce7aa |
comment |
Selective Obliviousness: Renako has been hanging out with the most admired girls in school long enough that most students also consider her to be part of the popular crowd and are repeatedly seen commenting on how cute she is. Yet, she refuses to consider herself one of them and is always worried that she looks out of place among her friends, as she is too self-depreciative to think of herself as beloved or popular. |

The Ace: Mai is filthy rich, a popular model, has an athletic body figure, gets top grades at school, and usually masters most things she sets on mastering in short time. Other characters repeatedly lampshade (and complain about) how she is pretty much the perfect woman. |

The Bet: The plot of the series is kickstarted by a bet between Renako and Mai over who can convince the other that their vision of the ideal relationship is better: Renako thinks it's being best friends, Mai thinks it's being lovers. |

It's All About Me: Mai is a Played for Laughs example. She is fully aware of her own status as The Ace and uses it as an argument at every opportunity, to the point where she claims it's sunny the day she goes on a date with Renako because she wants it to be. There is also her idea of courtship. |

Accidental Kiss: During their stint as a fake couple, Satsuki tries to get a photo of herself kissing Renako to make Mai jealous. However, Renako is so used to Mai's constant displays of affection that she misses the fact Satsuki meant a kiss on the cheek, and instinctively moves her head in her direction, leading to a kiss on the lips. |

Mum Looks Like a Sister: When she first sees Satsuki's mother, Renako assumes she is her older sister. The woman is very happy about the misunderstanding and would have let it continue if Satsuki hadn't interrupted. Similarly, when she first meets Mai's mother without knowing who she is, Renako guesses she must be around 20 years old. |

Cast Full of Gay: Not a single character in the main cast shows interest in the opposite sex. The closest thing is Mai commenting that she doesn't care if her partner is a boy or a girl, and even that is said in the context of her explaning how she became Renako-sexual. |

Covert Pervert: Mai always looks prim and proper, but when Renako asks her to write down what she would like to do with her if they were lovers, she finds herself with a long list of R-rated activities. Renako herself starts worring she has become this after the events of Volume 1, due to how often her mind goes into R-rated territory when her friends say something ambiguous. She blames Mai for it. |

Innocently Insensitive: Mai doesnt' fully realize how much Satsuki is bothered by always losing to her. This reaches its zenith when she bluntly tells Satsuki that she thinks the latter hasn't changed since they were children. As Renako had already discovered, Satsuki has been trying to better herself for years to finally defeat Mai, and this comment sounds like a denial of all her hard work. |
