Switch Me On - Tome 1 by KUJIRA

5.0

Koyori Hoshi and Hijiri Akiyama are childhood best friends. One day, after being ditch by her long-time boyfriend who cheated on her, a drunk Koyori ends up sleeping with Hijiri. The latter turns out to be in love with her and confesses his feelings to her. But of course, it’s not easy to develop a romantic relationship with someone who has been your friend your whole life. 

If you are looking for a manga with the friends to lovers trope, this one is for you. The author explores the difficulty of a romantic relationship between friends. Here, the characters have known each other since they were babies and have been constants in each other life since then. Koyori and Hijiri are facing complex struggles, being in love with someone for so long and yet not wanting to ruin their friendship. Especially if the relationship doesn’t work out, there is the risk of losing your best friend forever.
