Coming from someone who genuinely enjoyed this manga, it's probably fair to say you should know what you're going into before picking it up. How Do We Relationship? isn't your typical new adult romance; in fact, the author's note at the end even explains how Tamifull intentionally wanted to write something very different from the norm by depicting two women who get into a relationship before falling for one another.

Instead of having a lot of sweet, caring moments or angsty revelations, this first volume relies heavily on showcasing how people can work through disagreements or conflicts in relationships, with a lot of those conflicts revolving around the dynamic of two people who have very different views on sex. Saeko is active and very, er, physically motivated (heh), while Miwa is new to this entire aspect of life and wants to move slowly.

While the words aren't used on page, it's evident that Miwa has a lot of inner conflict surrounding trying to decide if she's asexual or not, and in the end, it appears that she may be demisexual (I'm very curious to see if we'll see this label used in future volumes). While there are definitely some acephobic comments made, they're more or less challenged, and Saeko is forced to recognize that sometimes compromises need to be made when people don't feel the same way about their sexuality in a relationship. I personally thought it was all very true to life, which might honestly make it tough for some readers to enjoy, but I liked that Tamifull didn't really pull punches.

Aside from aaaaall of that, the artwork is super cute, the characters are fun, and I enjoyed it a lot. I'll definitely be continuing the series!

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review, "How Do We Relationship?, Vol. 1" by Tamifull. A shy college girl named Miwa has never been able to find someone to date since she is into girls. She ends up meeting a classmate named Saeko who is much more outgoing then she is. SInce Saeko is also into girls, she convinces Miwa that they should date. In this volume, we see the beginning of their relationship which includes misunderstandings, other people's opinions on their relationship and a clash of personalities. Miwa is wondering if their relationship will turn into a true love. Overall, it was cute and I would recommend it. I am interested in reading the next volume.
