All Lovers Social Link Answers in Persona 3 Reload (P3R) – Social Link Guide
Canonically a Lover but not necessarily the canonical lover.
Despite being literally the first character you meet in Persona 3 Reload, it takes a good while before you can forge a stronger bond with Yukari and begin the Lovers Social Link. And once you do, she also has some of the trickiest questions to answer during her hangouts.
Persona 3 Reload Lovers Social Link Guide (P3R)
You can start the Yukari Takeba Social Link after July 25 if you have reached Level 6 Charm (Charismatic). Reload made it easier to max out all stats, but it’s still unusual to have it maxed out by here, especially if you have been focusing on Academics to get good grades on your July finals. But once you do, speak with Yukari and you can start hanging out with her.
Yukari hangs out in your classroom on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, except during breaks or days next to exams. She’s next to Kenji, so it’s hard to miss her. As long as you bring a Lovers Persona such as Pixie, you’ll get the maximum amount of points with each correct answer during her events. If you get the “I feel like I might grow close to Yukari soon…” message, it means you’re ready for a rank-up.
She’s a bit harder to rank due to some levels not offering enough points, no matter which answer you pick. To remedy that, you can spend nights with Yukari in the dorm cooking or watching movies together. Walking Koromaru alongside Yukari also gives you extra points for her, so don’t forgo the chances if you have them.
Dating Yukari is optional in Reload. You can do so during the Rank 9 event, but rejecting her won’t cause any trouble in your Social Link. This guide focuses on the Friendship route, although the only major changes are on the final Rank. You can date her and more girls if you want, anyway.

Finishing Yukari’s Social Link allows you to fuse Cybele, the ultimate Lovers Arcana Persona. Unless you’re already by the end of the game, it will still take a while until you can pull that off, so hold on to that fusion for now. If you choose to romance Yukari instead, the final Rank will be a bit different but the results will be the same.
Not being forced to date all girls is a very welcome change added in Reload, but you can still do it in the old-fashioned way if you can’t resist Yuko, Chihiro or any of the SEES girls regardless of that. There might be consequences, though, so be aware.
