Although it would be nice for her to eventually end up with Saori, I actually would prefer if Yurika stayed heterosexual.
maybe my Yuri goggles are on too tight, but Yurika is definitely not heterosexual, but she may be bisexual. plus, nowhere in the earlier chapters was it established that Yurika was heterosexual.
You might want to loose the straps a little bit. Yurika didn't want to be gigolette, she wanted to marry some guy and live as a wife, but she doesn't seem to have the charm to attract guys for some reason. One of the earliest chapters has her go into a mixer in order to try and marry a student in a college of medicine (the lesbian sex happening right after was mostly out of yurika's frustration over being unable to catch any man, plus the invitation from the "straigtht girl" who was with her).
Yurika's character is in some kind of Limbo after being admitted into the dorms. First there was no doubt she was heterosexual, now I'm not sure. She's far more calm than she was before and has learned how to actively use her charm, but that's just that she no longer hates it as much as she did in the first chapters; she doesn't love doing it either, and its obvious that women for her are mere resources. Certainly she could be bisexual, but Japanese artists have not gave me much examples of them thinking of bisexuality as a possible third option.
I really can't see Yurika ending up with a girl because not once has she shown any actual attraction to one. I mean if they can eventually show her having feelings for another girl (possibly Saori), then that's cool,
actually, I think Yurika has shown that her feelings for Saori are genuine. afterall, why go to all the trouble of protecting Saori? sure Yurika wants to preserve her living arrangement, but in each chapter, Yurika's most objectionable behaviours change when it affects Saori.
Yurika will have to try very hard to make me think she wasn't just protecting her roof. Saori is the reason she is not sleeping in the streets, and she was about to be snatched away at the same moment the other girls were rejecting Yurika, thinking she stole other people's girlfriends (thus no secondary home to stay into). I think the only reason she likes Saori is because she thinks she's not into yuri, which lets Yurika have a place to stay which she doesn't need to keep through sexual favors and at the same time would not have an impact if she talks to 100 women per day on the phone (of course this is the very source of Saori's frustration, but Yurika doesn't know this).
If Yurika is not afraid of being in a serious relationship like she says Akane is, that could either meant that she wants a serious relationship, or that she doesn't give a damn about the people she has slept with. And, unlike Akane, Yurika has never said she liked girls (outside of those shallow talks over the phone)
