I'm sad that the show only got 8 episodes, but at least they're half hour episodes compared to "She Loves to Cook"'s ten minute episodes. It's been really great so far, although I've missed some of the scenes they edited out, particularly Ayaka x Risa.

You wanted to see Risa miserable again huh? But seriously, that's something I'm not surprised they cut. The main themes of the series work without her involvement, so if they had to move something around I'm not surprised it was her. They chose to focus on the main issues. I'm even more interested in this extra chapter, now. I'm assuming it must be a future chapter.

Final Episode coming up! Also saw that it got 3rd on a most watched late night drama series ranking from a publication's viewers. I guess the extra chapter coincides with the finale.

How Do We Relationship is probably the single best ongoing manga about lesbians out there, imo. The main other manga I can think of in the "about lesbians" category and competes in quality is Ayaka is In Love With Hiroko, and that's completed.
Totally worth paying to access How Do We Relationship's official translation imo :)

Speaking of "Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko," the live action TV series is doing really well and about to air it's final episode. Not sure if you knew about the live action and it has subtitles out there.

Interesting overlap between the chapter and the most recent chapter of How Do We Relationship, particularly ending on the same kind of scene.

Can't wait for the next chapter of HDWR!

100%. The emotions of the current arc are incredible, it's like a "so good you fear how it will inevitably go bad" thing (which is also like the exact same kind of thinking that caused their original breakup lol)

What is “ How Do We Relationship” and where can I read it?

Was hosted on here under the name "So, Do You Want To Go Out, Or?" but was licensed by Viz here: https://www.viz.com/how-do-we-relationship

And if you have access to the Viz Manga app, new chapters are released there as well. Translated and simultaneous with the JP version (a day behind, if we even want to call that being behind). At chapter 122 now. Definitely an "all timer" series to me.

Yeah I noticed that too--the idea of setting expectations that won't be satisfied. It's mostly fine but if people go into the show believing there is actual romance, they'll be disappointed. Still Falin and Marcille are cute regardless, even though she portrayed them like a trio of siblings more than anything. None of it hurts anybody, as you said. Plus this animation is great!

Yeah she basically said she didn't intend for those things but people are free to interpret as they wish. Pretty much a polite way for an author not to reject people's fandoms and interpretations. I think it was pretty clear from the story that she never focused or intended romance much at all, even from Laios. The interview just reinforced that idea in a harmless way. Of course people are arguing about it regardless.

VIZ . . . Ugh. Here's hoping they do a better job than with their other translations.

About my reaction as well after what they did to Nettaigyo...

What's the story there?

Thanks!

Any chapter with Xiaoyang's antics is a good chapter. And good idea to soften up the "wife." We also got more confirmation of Xiaoyang's being Xiaoen's biological brother and about the adoption, especially the adoption timeline.

Also, it ended at chapter 18. All the chapters are out there. A translation would be great for those not following it...not that I'm asking.

How I would love this chapter-end bit to go, but it won't:
Him (cheerfully): "Go on a date with me!"
Her (cheerfully): "No!"

i bet it's gonna be some "act date to convince someone he doesn't have a thing with Ayu" kinda deal

He most likely means a friendly bartender date. He already is with Aju, we just had that reinforced last chapter. Plus he's the one who pushed Hinata to confess to Naori, a few chapters ago.

He's a golden retriever, so it fits his personality. How Hinata and Aju interpret things is a whole different story though. I'm more into Mikage's fashion sense. The maid is stunting her style!

Mizuki is falling into deep levels of denial about her feelings for Yanagi. She was breathing jealousy this chapter. She'll come around eventually.

Shion took that predictable rejection in stride. I'm thinking she wants help reenacting something manga related considering her fandom this chapter.

"Oh my gosh...she invited me back to her place!" Absolutely slayed me. Easily the best joke so far.

I didn't really catch that until your comment. I was more fixated on Mizuki actually losing focus of her sister to think about Yanagi. But you're right! Good line. Next she'll worry about potentially meeting the parents.

Glad we're doing the anthology too!

I'm really liking all the new characters. Developing new people (and couples?) while our main girls have lower stake issues is a good idea. And these newbies might idolize our main couple by the time this is done (if not already).

We're also no longer a "gap student" or a "lady of the night." Truly uncharted territory. Looking forward to more. I wonder if the 2 new girls might get ideas about their own relationship from Makino and Mashiro.

I see Usui Shio and I'm there. Didn't know she had two series going at the same time. She always has an interesting starting premise that connects the main couple and this one fits right in for sure. She's got a lot more variety than she's given credit for. Every series is different but I expect the same quality.

Would I be better off reading the novel if I had a hard time understanding what was going on with the media wars the 2 leads are conducting with the help of their agencies and this acting reality show they're judging?
I'm sure what's happening isn't that complicated but I have zero familiarity with those things.

Yeah it would help. I just reread a chapter I'd read from further into the manhua (chapter 100 something in the manhua) and the business stuff made more sense in the novel. There's more room for details.

I love you for this. May your food always be tasty.

That shit had me up at 2 am yesterday. I didn't have the strength to keep going. Definitely good stuff. I started rereading from earlier just to catch up on missed details.

I'm pretty divided. Mizuki is good but her as of yet her eyes is on her sisters and didn't give our MC enough attention. And Shion chan is really cute, and such an earnest confession... uwu

Shion might be too young (middle schooler means more when you're in high school) and our MC is similarly only focused on Mizuki, so I expect new girl to be rejected. She's likely there for Mizuki, which might explain why the chapter ended with the 3 of them in one reaction frame. Mizuki shouldn't care much if MC has a suitor.

Mizuki seems like a love interest initially attracted to someone unattainable, but eventually, silently falling for the another, who consistently supports her. It feels similar to another ongoing girls' love series, "Other Than My Friend's Sister, Something Else," (great!) but wackier.

Mizuki might learn what "jealousy" and "taking for granted" means in a second. Let's see how she takes this. I'm 1000% sure nothing will ever happen with her sister and that, that's just the setup gag. She already started last chapter but maybe this is will create another opportunity to see Mizuki's growing feelings for our MC. Should be comedy either way.

I’m confused, is this a series or a single thing? Or is it gonna be a collection of one shots??

I really wanna see more of this couple and see Junko and the 20 yo’s dynamic

Edit: nvm, found the rest of it, it’s part of a collection of other one shots lol

No wonder the name sounded so familiar.

I’ve been left out dry and wanting more again ;(

Please, could you tell me where to read the continuation?

It's underneath the title. You can read it here. Just click the chapter and under the title is it's tags and the collection it comes from if there is one.

last edited at Aug 13, 2024 3:34PM

Oh yeah if you're sensitive to that stuff, I get it. It's a great series but very real. I'd recommend it still though. I'd at least wait until its done and give it a read. I don't expect it to be a long series.

last edited at Aug 13, 2024 12:28PM

It's original because it's their own series. Some of those characters are from further into the series though, since the TL is a bit behind. It is currently at chapter 15.

Are you following the story? I don't want to spoil anything about the plot. They're all characters in the same series.

last edited at Aug 13, 2024 11:46AM

Maybe this not really popular here because the very slow progress of relationship between them. But really, it's worth it!! Some small details from novel didn't make it to the manhua so reading the novel too really helps to understand more stuff.

What chapter would we be on?

Edit: I read. I liked very, very much.

I think if picking up from the chapter posted here, we would be around chapter 35-36 on the light novel. Still, i highly recommended to read from chapter 1 haha.

Glad you liked it!

I'd actually been following the original releases too, so I picked up from about 65. Thanks though! It's the second series I got recommended there after reading the comic. Both this weekend. The other is "Omega Heroine Wants Her Alpha Villainess." So it's a funny coincidence.
