Yuuhi and Yasumi Star in a Radio Show in The Many Sides of a Voice Actor
Yuuhi and Yasumi are professional voice actors who are asked to star in their radio show with a classroom theme after the director's last project failed.
While Yasumi Utatane considers herself an idol voice actress, Yuuhi Yugure hates the idea of being thrown into unnecessary singing, dancing, and all kinds of idol-related work because she’s supposed to be a voice actress. They are opposites, even when they’re not working.
Yasumi's real name is Sato Miyako and she's a gyaru, but she keeps this side of herself hidden in public because she believes that people expect idol voice actors to be innocent and pure.
Only Yasumi's family, teachers, and, most recently, Yuuhi, whose real name is Watanabe Chika, are aware of her true identity.
Unlike Sato, Watanabe is an outcast in class. She is constantly alone and no one has ever seen her speak with anyone. She’s the type of girl that makes Sato go, “Oh yeah, she’s in our class.”.

Is The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio a Yuri Anime?
Yes, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio is a yuri or Girls' Love anime, as listed in MyAnimeList and LiveChart.
Following the first episode, viewers are correct to believe that the anime contains yuri elements, particularly in the scene where the anime depicts Yuuhi cornering Yasumi in a wall as if holding her.
Our yuri senses are tingling throughout the first episode, particularly after witnessing that unexpected scenario.
Yuuhi and Yasumi have obvious romantic chemistry, although it isn't as strong as in other yuri anime or Girls' Love shows.
The senpai/kohai dynamic, in which Yuuhi and Yasumi argue over who gets to call each other senpai and kouhai, is one of the yuri tropes in the series.
After all, they're having trouble figuring their relationship out because they've both been doing voice acting for years, which results in their amusing banter.
Other yuri subtropes appear in the anime, like Aloof Dark-Haired Girl, which Yuuhi demonstrates. She is gloomy and aloof, in contrast to Yasumi, who is constantly cheerful, pleasant, and sunny.
