How Do We Relationship?, Vol. 1

by Tamifull

A romance of convenience between two college women soon becomes the real thing.

Shy Miwa has always dreamed of finding love, but living in small-town Japan made finding the right match difficult--especially since she likes girls! Even going away to college didn't seem to help, until one day her outgoing classmate Saeko suggests they might as well start dating each other since it's not like either of them has other options.

At first it seems like things won't work out as their personalities clash and misunderstandings abound. But when their casual friendship starts to become something more, Miwa begins to wonder--can a pragmatic proposal lead to true love?

Customer Reviews

This may be the best LGBTQ+ manga out there!

What happens when two friends realize they're both lesbians? They date, obviously. While that may seem absurd on the surface, there is so much heart and love in this relationship that it works out great for reserved Miwa and outgoing Saeko. The different struggles couples have to go through, jealousy, why do they like me, am I being a pain, when is the right time for the "next step." And it gives an extra kick with the LGBTQ+ element of, is it ok to tell this person we're dating, how will they react to me dating a girl, will we be outed, and so forth. Everything is illustrated beautifully and it's great that the side characters get chapters from their point of view, so we not only see the main couple's struggles and successes, but we also get closer to their friends, and see how they feel in their life. Oh, and did I mention there's a music club? I had no idea that there was a music element to this book which just makes it an even more incredible read. I love this series so much! I'd recommend this series to anyone who'll listen, but especially folks that like romance, realistic couples and storylines, slice of life genre, and a comfort read with some drama.

Funny and beautiful

This story starts off ok but later it gets better. Its beautiful and funny all at once. Two girls being in a relationship in an awkward and funny way possible and friends who support them while making it weird for them to get all romantic. This is the best example for anime and manga to show their love for LGBTQ. As always gay pride rules.
