Boys Gilding the Lily Shall Die!? (百合にはさまる男は死ねばいい!?, Yuri ni Hasamaru Otoko wa Shineba Ii!?) is a Japanese yuri manga written and illustrated by Yomogimochi. It has been serialized online through Line Digital Frontier's online platform LINE Manga since March 31, 2021. It was licensed for an English-language release by Tokyopop in 2024.
Chihaya Katagiri, the first trumpet in her school's brass band, becomes close to Hibiki Aikawa, a transfer student from a prestigious school who took her spot in band. Despite their rocky beginnings they both come to admire each other's talent and enthusiasm for playing the trumpet. As their feelings grow stronger, their lives become more complicated due to stress from classes, relationships, and their final high school band competition.
