ASSORTED ENTANGLEMENTS GN (2025)

Discover a variety of stories about women's love, starting with Iori: twenty-eight-year-old office worker who sets out to drown her love and job sorrows in booze. When she wakes up next to someone, she can't believe her partner was Minami, a worker at the bar who doesn't want to forget what they have!

After meeting through an online game, Heke and Lala have become close enough that they can gripe to each other about work-but it turns out the boss Heke's always griping about is actually Lala...!? This is the love story of two awkward girls who have nothing but complaints for each other in the real world and can only convey their true feelings online...

"There's no real reason. It's just that talking with her makes me feel like life is worth living." Heke and Lala met through an online game, becoming fast friends despite knowing nothing about each other...or so they thought. It turns out they actually work together-but their IRL interactions are full of friction and nothing like the breezy relationship they have online. Will the day when they're able to tell each other how they really feel ever come...?

"She couldn't care less about her teacher. But for some reason, she can't leave her alone... When Kujo, a gym teacher whose thoughts on romance have been complicated by past disappointments, finally starts looking for a girlfriend again, she ends up enlisting one of her students as her wingwoman in exchange for not revealing that the girl, Sugimoto, works at a maid café. But it isn't long before Kujo finds herself at the mercy of Sugimoto and her incessant advice. And yet, as the pair work towards their strangely shared goal, they find the tense distance between them giving way to feelings of affection... "

Kujo carries the weight of a friendship broken apart by unrequited feelings... Heke and Lala are afraid of their relationship changing, and neither wants to take the first step forward... Minami cries out in her sleep that she doesn't have a place where she belongs, and Shizuku worries for her...  The past makes each recall that to be together, to have a place where they are not alone, isn't something to be taken for granted-so they must treasure the loves they have built.?

If Saori had her way, her big sister Iori would always be there beside her-just reach out a hand and they could touch, open a mouth and they could talk. But now Iori has a girlfriend. And a job. And a lot less time for her little sis. Somehow, whenever she can't be with her sister, Saori finds her way to her classmate Shizuku. But what exactly is that girl to her...?

Memories from Shizuku's troubled past have gotten between her and Saori. They share too much. Their hopeless loves, the ways they push each other away when they need companionship the most, their anxieties about replacing and being replaced... But maybe, if Saori swallows her pride and chases after Shizuku, they can make up by sharing two more things-a kiss and a confession!

Every step we take changes our lives and our relationships, for good or ill. Sugimoto feels she was pushed away. Kujo-Sensei frets that she didn't express herself well enough. And as they slide apart, each spirals into reflection on their own past-the memories of failed relationships that burden them to this day and keep them from each other. But wisdom is found in strange places, and perhaps an unexpected third-party can help mend their rift...
