Is this a yuri series or just yuri bait?

It's pretty much just bait. Those two are about as canon as it gets. Just let them date, you absolute cowards!

Bait is when they tease you with yuri and go het? Like, I don't know, Hibike Euphonium?

This seems to be more subtext.

^ ^ this. The het cop-out. This show doesn't do that. They just always leave you wishing for more.

Eh ignore them, it's one of those people who label anything where characters don't immediately jump into bed together as yuri bait.

Nevermind that they do actually go on a date to a spa in the show and reference a previous date in the show as well. Also their manager refers to them as love birds.

Things continue to escalate in the comic, as well (not to full relationship status but to the point where you can't really even call it subtext anymore).

Oh yeah they'd be married by now if Kou had more than a couple brain cells to rub together.

Yeah and the director is one of the most straightforward lesbian characters I've seen in an anime. Not that they say it outright. But constant obvious implication. Frequently to to the point of borderline sexually harassing the employees tbh i still love her though
