Synopsis:

After dreaming of it for so long, Tanaka and Irie are finally a couple. Even as she relishes her modest happiness, Tanaka can't help but worry that Irie seems to enjoy talking with other people more than he does with her. A small new adventure begins for this side character, who only wishes to grow closer to her boyfriend...

Aaaah, volume six of Akane Tamura’s A Side Character’s Love Story is so cute. In this volume, their friends urge them to actually use one another’s personal names instead of family names, and Nobuko meets Hiroki’s family.

I love how patient Hiroki is, telling Nobuko they can go at their own pace… but how she pushes through discomfort to be as brave as he is about advancing their relationship. It’s just, aaah, despite Nobuko’s anxieties and their mutual awkwardness, they are so sincere and so dedicated to their relationship.

This is #relationshipgoals right here.
