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.
Miwa and Saeko are loving the couple life, but a miscommunication in the bedroom proves to be more of a threat to the easy rhythm of their relationship than either thought possible. After all, the past is hard to leave behind, especially when Miwa is invited to a reunion with some of her high school friends, including the first love she never really got over.
The strong part of this volume is in the flashback where we’re introduced to Shiho, who is by far the most relatable of the cast to me so far. Other than that, there’s more just set-up here for what will no doubt be future conflicts. Still not a fan of Saeko, but I can at least acknowledge that she’s got depth to her
Forget everything positive I said about Saeko in my volume 2 review... I completely DISLIKE her now. For real.
She doesn’t want being touched (sexually) but pretty much pushed Miwa into being touched herself?? Couldn’t even show some kind of sympathy/empathy and understand that Miwa isn’t ready to be touched?? And even had the audacity to ask what’s so bad about sex?? Dude, you don’t even want someone to do you yourself!!
Geez, people like that are such fcking a*holes. Treat others how they want but if they get treated like that, they suddenly get emotional or find that it’s not okay. Screw you.
