How Do We Relationship?, Vol. 9

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. Both Miwa and Seiko have new girlfriends, which means they should be spending more time on their romantic relationships and less time together. But even though they’re trying to give each other space, they can’t help turning to each other for moral support when issues arise. Are they actually closer than ever now that they’re apart?
