How Do We Relationship?, Vol. 2 by Tamifull

3.0

I've heard a few times that the relationship in this manga series takes an interesting turn that some readers may not necessarily enjoy. For me, this was an interesting volume to work through. There are some new character developments particularly in Saeko that made me think that this relationship is bound to get more complicated than expected. While I enjoyed how Tamifull explored queerness, I began to notice some things that may become red flags in their relationship later on in the series. That doesn't mean that the series won't be good, but I think it will pull away from this cutesy romance that readers may expect to get. I think that the framing of Saeko's jealously is great example of this. Initially, Saeko believes that she has no reason to be jealous of any attention that Miwa may receive, but she quickly learns how wrong she was in that assessment. In fact, her jealousy becomes so much of an issue that she begins to lash out and, in my personal, becomes a little controlling. I see these aspects of Saeko's personality greatly changing the landscape of their relationship. While I'm hoping it doesn't lead towards an emotionally abusive situation, I can definitely see it happening. Overall, I'm looking forward to seeing where the rest of the series takes me.
