Synopsis

From an outside perspective, the relationship between Saori Fujimura and her boss Ayako Asano is purely professional. However, digging beneath the surface shows that strictly platonic rapport could not be further from the truth. After assisting her with work that she has been struggling to finish, Ayako invites Saori out for drinks at a bar. However, Saori drinks too much and lets slip the famous phrase—"I love you." This leads to the two sharing a passionate night together, despite the fact that Ayako must return to her husband in the morning.

As both women grapple with the unsatisfactory nature of their current lives, they begin to explore the meaning of their own happiness and the strength it takes to grasp it.

Tender, sexy, and conscious. A short manga, but one that has a lot going for it, I Love You So Much, I Hate You is a manga that I unsurprisingly love. Given it being about lesbians, I'm a little biased towards it, but even without that bias, it's a really well done story.

While it's very short at only 9 chapters, it does what it needs to without feeling rushed or underdeveloped. It's got a lot of heart and soul, and it managed to make me care a lot about the complicated relationship dynamic all the way to the last page. The ending left things off ...

A high-quality romance story. My only gripe is that it's just one volume, as it definitely could have been stretched out into a series!

The characters were enjoyable, including side characters. I liked Fujimura's character especially. I felt Asano's character could've had a tad more development. It is NSFW as there are sex scenes. The sex scenes in my opinion were well-written; they feel realistic to the characters and are not gratuitous.

There wasn't really anything in this manga that surprised me, but for me the predictable formula of romance is part of the enjoyment of reading it, so I didn't mind!

Overall a short but great yuri ...

I had some expectations when going into this, and mind you they weren't good ones; I expected this to be cliched, pretty predictable and tend to lead to the women being more sexualised when the NSFW stuff does happen. But to be honest I was quite surprised and I really enjoyed reading this. I think it did a great job with the concept and exploring the pressures and expectations of a woman in these circumstances. It made me root all the way for the couple, and their romance was really good and enjoyable to see. What I really loved was the two leads and how ...
