How I Met My Soul Mate is my new favorite romance manga! Yuuki is looking for love, but despairing of ever finding it when she finally meets Iori. While she is initially intimidated by him, Yuuki and Iori manage to connect again after a bad first impression. Are they destined for friendship or something more?
I loved Iori!! After a negative first impression, he goes out of his way to make things right and get to know Yuuki. Yuuki has a lot of relatable feelings about being in your twenties and feeling like an adult in some ways and not others. Yuuki and Iori have excellent chemistry and they’re definitely the couple that I ship. I was internally shrieking about the potential love triangle and can’t wait to see how it plays out in volume two. Readers who are looking for a sweet and contemporary romance manga should check this out.
Thank you to Anashin, Kodansha Comics, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
