思い、思われ、ふり、ふられ [Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare]

A tender and intricate high-school romance from Shueisha, this 12-issue series (2015–2019) follows two pairs of friends—one couple whose feelings are openly mutual, and another where unrequited love quietly complicates their bonds. Written and illustrated by the same creator, the story delicately explores the push and pull of affection, rejection, and the messy, beautiful space in between. It's a thoughtful, character-driven take on young love that resonates with anyone who's ever navigated the fragile dance of wanting and being wanted.
