3。5*A cute manga that touches lightly topics such as gender roles and societal expectations on women， while also unfolding a romance between two coworkers who feel trapped or oppressed by their sexualities and lives。 There are some plots that are left unexplored （a pity）， but there are some enjoyable scenes too。 And Asano and Fujimura make a good couple！

This book was excellent。 It had a happy ending， lesbians。 While it did end happy one of the characters Ms。 Fujimura said some things about being lesbian and loving women that were too real and made me sad and broken。 I personally felt like the book opened opportunities to talk about situations pertaining only to sapphics such as an obligation to conform to heteronormative society。 But it could also fly over your head。 You really have to be looking。 I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to see wom This book was excellent。 It had a happy ending， lesbians。 While it did end happy one of the characters Ms。 Fujimura said some things about being lesbian and loving women that were too real and made me sad and broken。 I personally felt like the book opened opportunities to talk about situations pertaining only to sapphics such as an obligation to conform to heteronormative society。 But it could also fly over your head。 You really have to be looking。 I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to see women loving women， but let me say it's not a complete escape from reality。 。。。more

Cute。 I loved that this was a story of mature women in a workplace。 Wished we could’ve gotten more of their own individual lives， as it focused mostly on the romance， but it was still a fulfilling story。

This was sitting on the new shelf at my library。 I've been on a bit of a comic/manga bender lately （and the pictureless book I brought with me wasn't holding my attention） and did you say sapphic workplace boss/subordinate romance？ Sold。 Very cute story with an HEA。 Will read more by this author。 This was sitting on the new shelf at my library。 I've been on a bit of a comic/manga bender lately （and the pictureless book I brought with me wasn't holding my attention） and did you say sapphic workplace boss/subordinate romance？ Sold。 Very cute story with an HEA。 Will read more by this author。 。。。more

Cheating on the husband trope aside， I loved so much about this。 Theres not a lot of good Yuri manga around， so I'm glad I found this one; as a physical copy as well！ I did quite like the main character and the relationship dynamic between the two women， however I just wish it was longer- but I usually tend to say that with every single volume manga story ahahaha。 I wanted to see a slower， and more detailed， character growth， but either way， as a single volume it was still so cute and enjoyable。 Cheating on the husband trope aside， I loved so much about this。 Theres not a lot of good Yuri manga around， so I'm glad I found this one; as a physical copy as well！ I did quite like the main character and the relationship dynamic between the two women， however I just wish it was longer- but I usually tend to say that with every single volume manga story ahahaha。 I wanted to see a slower， and more detailed， character growth， but either way， as a single volume it was still so cute and enjoyable。 4/5 。。。more

An important work about social norms and personal happiness。 Torn between their affection and reality， the two heroines forge a fragile bond until they realise that life without happiness isn’t worth living。 I’m sadly not very familiar with the 🏳️🌈 movement in Japan; hence， I’m going to assume that this Manga portrays the relationship of the characters accurately。 To the haters: I read the title as “I love you so much。 I hate you”。 Then， it makes sense。 -1 star for some translation errors。

This was very cute， and if I would like it to continue it isn’t needed。 The ending is good as it is。 Although I do hope that if it is continued their secret will be revealed for the rest of the world to see。

I love the look of this manga。 And I love that the romance at the heart of it features two adult women， not high school girls！That said， I wish this story were more fleshed out。 It begins with an affair between Fujimura and her boss， Asano， who both work in what appears to be a high-powered business office。 We can feel some of the pressure both women seem to be under， and we see the way Fujimura feels obligated to keep the fact that she's a lesbian hidden。The unequal relationship between these t I love the look of this manga。 And I love that the romance at the heart of it features two adult women， not high school girls！That said， I wish this story were more fleshed out。 It begins with an affair between Fujimura and her boss， Asano， who both work in what appears to be a high-powered business office。 We can feel some of the pressure both women seem to be under， and we see the way Fujimura feels obligated to keep the fact that she's a lesbian hidden。The unequal relationship between these two women is problematic， a fact that's never really explored。 Moreover， Asano is a married woman。 Much more attention is paid to that issue。 We soon come to understand that her marriage is unhappy; she and her husband have different expectations。 Worse， he's cheating on her。 When she starts her affair with Fujimura， she's partly after revenge。While Fujimura seems a bit stuck where she is， Asano has a major decision to make about her life 。 。 。 and I'm disappointed that both the decision and any immediate consequences happen off-screen。 I also wish we learned more about her husband。 He didn't quite seem a real character。Still， an enjoyable and very pretty read！ 。。。more

Yuri manga is dominated by schoolgirl romances， which is expected for the genre。 But with I Love You So Much I Hate You， we finally get a look at what women-centres romance looks like for adult women， especially for those women in the workplace and dealing with the difficult aspects of sexism and patriarchy in Japanese work culture。 There’s a lot to like here: two good and interesting characters， a strong relationship between the two women， tasteful sex scenes， a look into how women fit into Jap Yuri manga is dominated by schoolgirl romances， which is expected for the genre。 But with I Love You So Much I Hate You， we finally get a look at what women-centres romance looks like for adult women， especially for those women in the workplace and dealing with the difficult aspects of sexism and patriarchy in Japanese work culture。 There’s a lot to like here: two good and interesting characters， a strong relationship between the two women， tasteful sex scenes， a look into how women fit into Japanese office culture and the challenges they face， and of course a happy ending。 What？ I’m a sucker for this sort of thing。 It’s not perfect but as an island of maturity in a sea of high school plots， it is a welcome change of scenery。 。。。more

It’s a cute and short story。 I don’t really feel like the title is the right one for the story though。 I feel like there was more depth that could have been explored but it’s a sweet and to the point story。 I appreciate that it was drawn out for forever

More of a 3。5 star rating;While I liked the story， I feel like the overall story could’ve been extended a bit。 I wish there a bit more character development between Ayako and Saori， and I’m curious to know more about some things in the story。Like how the conversation of divorce went between Ayako and her husband; how did Ayako even find out about her husband’s affair; An elaboration on the affair between Suzuki and her boss。 All of that had the potential to be answered in another 1 or even 2 man More of a 3。5 star rating;While I liked the story， I feel like the overall story could’ve been extended a bit。 I wish there a bit more character development between Ayako and Saori， and I’m curious to know more about some things in the story。Like how the conversation of divorce went between Ayako and her husband; how did Ayako even find out about her husband’s affair; An elaboration on the affair between Suzuki and her boss。 All of that had the potential to be answered in another 1 or even 2 manga volumes。 。。。more

Aw！ I have no idea how that title applies to the story in this book， but it was absolutely adorable， and my only complaint is that as a standalone manga， there wasn't enough room to develop the story or characters as much as I would have liked。Definitely worth a read， though。 Aw！ I have no idea how that title applies to the story in this book， but it was absolutely adorable， and my only complaint is that as a standalone manga， there wasn't enough room to develop the story or characters as much as I would have liked。Definitely worth a read， though。 。。。more

Well written with good artThis is a well written story that delves into the difficulties of being both a career woman and a lesbian in a traditional culture like Japan。 While many of the issues the protagonists face might not be as relevant for western readers， there are still vestiges of the same attitudes lurking in western culture or we wouldn't have issues with young people being afraid to come out and various hate groups trying to roll back the progress that has been made over the past few Well written with good artThis is a well written story that delves into the difficulties of being both a career woman and a lesbian in a traditional culture like Japan。 While many of the issues the protagonists face might not be as relevant for western readers， there are still vestiges of the same attitudes lurking in western culture or we wouldn't have issues with young people being afraid to come out and various hate groups trying to roll back the progress that has been made over the past few decades for both women's rights and gay rights， let alone the fact that there is still a significant gender gap in pay rates。 All in all，it is a wonderful story。 。。。more

This book is beautiful and important not because it's a lesbian romance， but because of how the central relationship empowers both women。 Both believe that happiness is something that is outside of their reach， one because she's gay in a society that doesn't accept f/f relationships as "real" and the other because she's been trying so hard to do what she's "supposed to" that she hasn't even really registered that it's making her miserable。 While their relationship begins as an affair （one woman This book is beautiful and important not because it's a lesbian romance， but because of how the central relationship empowers both women。 Both believe that happiness is something that is outside of their reach， one because she's gay in a society that doesn't accept f/f relationships as "real" and the other because she's been trying so hard to do what she's "supposed to" that she hasn't even really registered that it's making her miserable。 While their relationship begins as an affair （one woman is married）， it offers both of them the chance to realize that happiness is right there in front of them if they're willing to admit that they want it。 They bring out the best in each other， which is what a romance should do。 。。。more

I *loved* this manga and the adult moments in the story。 I'm a sucker for a working woman， a failed marriage and a tantalizing affair with your underling。 I felt the power dynamics worked well in this story and didn't feel that there was any power struggles between the worker and their boss。 I wish this were at least another volume because I loved being with this couple so much。 I *loved* this manga and the adult moments in the story。 I'm a sucker for a working woman， a failed marriage and a tantalizing affair with your underling。 I felt the power dynamics worked well in this story and didn't feel that there was any power struggles between the worker and their boss。 I wish this were at least another volume because I loved being with this couple so much。 。。。more

Really， really well done。 You have realistic characters facing relatable problems。 It’s sweet and well-done。 The only thing I would deduct points on is that panel backgrounds are usually very sparse but that’s not a big deal。Hopefully the author does create a sequel volume。

This is a workplace yuri manga involving Ayako， a 33-year old married woman， and Saori， her 26-year old subordinate。 The story starts off with these two already having an affair。 This was supposed to be a shorter manga but was stretched to a full volume， which was evidenced by the pretty straightforward plot。 It's yet another story that tries to justify cheating using the married party's unfaithful/problematic spouse。 While I normally wouldn't have given this a second look after knowing the prem This is a workplace yuri manga involving Ayako， a 33-year old married woman， and Saori， her 26-year old subordinate。 The story starts off with these two already having an affair。 This was supposed to be a shorter manga but was stretched to a full volume， which was evidenced by the pretty straightforward plot。 It's yet another story that tries to justify cheating using the married party's unfaithful/problematic spouse。 While I normally wouldn't have given this a second look after knowing the premise involves infidelity， I was looking for a quick read and the artwork for this manga caught my eye。 And even though there's nothing special about the story， I was content with witnessing the sweet moments in the relationship of the MCs and how the ending was handled。 。。。more

It's good to see that there is a workplace yuri manga out there but it honestly I felt the plot desperately needed to be taken seriously， especially expanding character development。 I just felt both MC's acted the same （both pretty much flirt with each other） instead of being tested as opposites。 I'm not saying this as a usually BL reader， I'm just saying this as someone who just thinks this manga can really branch out。 It's good to see that there is a workplace yuri manga out there but it honestly I felt the plot desperately needed to be taken seriously， especially expanding character development。 I just felt both MC's acted the same （both pretty much flirt with each other） instead of being tested as opposites。 I'm not saying this as a usually BL reader， I'm just saying this as someone who just thinks this manga can really branch out。 。。。more
