Ho Yay / Rabi-Ribi

Go To

While Rabi-Ribi is not advertised as a Yuri Genre game, it has many of the tropes of the genre and is loaded with lesbian subtext (and not-so-subtext) between its Improbably Female Cast.


  • Rumi is quite receptive to her former pet Erina's new human form. The instant she sees her she subjects her to Marshmallow Hell, and she's shown to be a little jealous when other girls show interest in her.
  • Rumi's younger sister Miru is said to like Erina even more than she likes Rumi, and mentions liking Erina's gifts more than anyone else's. Hell, the only reason she even bothers going outside after the game is over is because Erina no longer needs to stay at home all the time.
  • Cicini and Syaro are very close Childhood Friends, to the point that Syaro pretended to be a robot maid just so she could stay close to Cicini after the latter's father forced her to focus on her research. Syaro only called Cicini "Master" at first as part of the ruse, but keeps doing it even when she doesn't need to. She gives the latter a big hug once they reunite, which is notable since Syaro Hates Being Touched.
  • Lilith, as a succubus, behaves about as much as anyone would expect. She's infamous for seducing and spiriting away cute girls, not helped by the fact that many of them actually want to meet her. Not only does she come onto Erina the second she meets her, she has a specific attack that paralyzes her and triggers a Fade to Black sequence where she does...something that inflicts 3 hits of 69 damage. The rest can be left to imagination.
  • Saya is very enamored with Rita and admires her immensely, but Cannot Spit It Out for the life of her. After Erina comforts her and asks for her help after their battle, merely mentioning that Rita is also helping them is enough to instantly convince her to lend a hand as well. She's overjoyed whenever Rita notices her, and even happier when she offers to learn new forms of magic with her and paint with her. When Rita complains about how she overslept again, Saya makes an offhand remark about how she would have liked to see a sleeping Rita.
  • Ashuri makes some very suggestive remarks when you first meet her. Aside from it being revealed that she spied on Ribbon taking a bath at one point, she insists on "studying" the now human Erina. In the post game she appears as a powerful boss. If you beat her there, she charges after you and gives you the same treatment Lilith did, as mentioned above.
  • Finally, there's the protagonist herself, Erina. While Rumi, Miru, and Lilith are mentioned above, there's also Rumi's friend Irisu, who's very much a Stalker with a Crush who is always following Erina. It turns out the reason for this is because Irisu is secretly a bunny herself, and she's very affectionate towards other bunnies. The two practically become a couple at the end of the post game.
  • After the post-game, you can find two of the villagers sleeping together in Rumi's bed at random. Some of them have...interesting expressions. Lilith in particular seems more than a little happy about it (to the surprise of no one), while Miriam has the look of someone who has no idea how she got into such a predicament.
  • The entire UPRPRC is made up entirely of girls and they all target Erina for exactly the reasons you think.
