 Yukari Fujimoto regards "Shiori Heya no Futari" to have influenced works by Machiko Satonaka, Riyoko Ikeda, and Yukari Ichijo, becoming "prototypical" of a common "yuri" story in the 1970s and 1980s which Fujimoto dubs "Crimson Rose and Candy".Here, "Candy" is a femme character who admires "Rose", a more butch character.The attachment between Candy and Rose becomes the subject of rumours or even blackmail, even while Candy and Rose grow to acknowledge their relationship as being romantic.
