On May 11, 2019, Futabasha released Syrup Adult Yuri Anthology with the theme of love between adult women.[2] The second release was announced in June 2019, and on August 8, Syrup SECRET Forbidden x Yuri Anthology was released with the theme of secret relationships.[3] With the release of the second edition, a Twitter account "Futabasha Yuri Club" was opened to introduce syrup information and Futabasha's Yuri works.[4] As of August 2020, 5 volumes have been released. Some chapters from Syrup were also included in issues of Monthly Action and Web Action.[5]
Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall C+ grade. Silverman notes that taken as whole "it is a bit more miss than hit with a high percentage of stories feeling truncated and at least one premise that badly suffers because of that." However, Silverman felt future volumes may show improvement.[15]CBR had a more positive reception to the series, likening it to a collection of poems of various themes and praising volume 1's theme "Though the harsh realities of love as an adult are painfully clear, the sweetness of its title runs through it all."[16] Writing on Okazu, Erica Friedman rated the first three volumes 9/10, 8/10, and 7/10 respectively,[17][18][19] though she considered the dialogue and character behaviors in many of the stories in volume 1 to be unrealistic for lesbians.[17]
