“How Do We Relationship?” is a yuri (girls’ love) coming‑of‑age romance manga by Tamifull that follows two college girls, Miwa and Saeko, who start dating and then slowly figure out what being in a real relationship actually means.

What the manga is about

  • The story begins when Miwa, a shy college freshman who has never dated, gets asked out by her outgoing friend Saeko after they realize they both like girls.
  • Instead of a fantasy-perfect romance, the series focuses on their awkward first steps: learning how to communicate, dealing with insecurity, and wondering whether they’re really in love or just trying to “make it work.”

Core themes and tone

  • The manga is often praised for showing how messy real relationships can be: jealousy, mismatched expectations, clumsy sex, and emotional miscommunication all show up in a grounded way.
  • It also explores queer identity in modern Japan—coming out (or not), fear of family reactions, and the pressure to fit into “normal” dating scripts and future plans like marriage and career.

Why people call it “realistic”

  • Instead of the couple becoming perfect once they get together, Miwa and Saeko keep making mistakes and having serious conversations about whether they should stay together or break up.
  • Side characters also have nuanced love lives, showing different types of relationships and orientations rather than a single “ideal” romance path.

Current status and reception

  • English readers can find it under the official title “How Do We Relationship?” and it has built a reputation online as one of the more emotionally honest yuri/romance manga in recent years.
  • Many fans recommend it specifically to readers who want romance that feels closer to actual adult/college relationships, with both sweet moments and painful, uncomfortable ones.

If you like this kind of manga

  • You may also enjoy other romance or yuri titles that focus on introspection and realistic emotional growth, since this series leans more into character psychology than pure fluff.
  • It fits especially well if you’re looking for: college setting, WLW romance, slow-burn emotional development, and drama driven by communication and life choices rather than simple misunderstandings.
