How Do We Relationship?, Volume 1

March 22nd, 2021

Miwa, like many young women, has come to college and hopes to fall in love. Also like many young women, she’s a bit unsure how to go about that. When she meets Saeko, the two of them start hanging out. They enjoy each other’s company. Miwa is introduced to Saeko’s circle – a group of folks working on becoming a band.  Saeko and Miwa are hanging out so much, that Saeko finally suggests that they just…date. And so they do.

But it’s not all smooth sailing. They don’t quite seem to be matching up; neither their physical needs, nor their communication styles are in sync. They both have some baggage too, before they can make this work.  In How Do We Relationship, Volume 1, Miwa and Saeko take their first steps along a path for which they cannot see the destination.

Tamifull’s art has a great feel of being grounded in reality – and even more appealingly, so does the writing. Both Miwa and Saeko are someone we might know,  folks we might have hung out with at school…or have been ourselves. ^_^ I remember those days in college when my relationships with other people were tenuous enough that I didn’t know who to rely on.

This story, while it is a romance, it is really a story about communication. Will Saeko and Miwa be able to work things out and communicate? I don’t want to jump the gun, but with five volumes already in Japanese and a 6th on the way, we can at the very least guess that they might. ^_^

Overall – 8

If you like stories of people figuring out stuff beyond just “do I like her?” and how to navigate within a more complex society than high school, How Do We Relationship, might just be the narrative you’re looking for. I will want you, however, it will be a bumpy ride. ^_^
