This volume, like the others, is two-in-one (double-length), and at the end of the first half, the author’s notes (circa summer 2020) make reference to how the world has changed. She wants to cosplay at the reception, because it’s a big part of her life that’s important to her. Their friends Hanako and Taro are also a couple… and the big conflict in this volume, #5, is that they’re getting married and arguing about how open to be about their behaviors. The first chapter, where they feel bad they haven’t done anything stereotypically summery, is one many adults can relate to, where you still feel that summer vacation should be a thing but in the working world, it’s not so much (and it’s often overtaken by events). All Hirotaka wants to do is play video games, and Narumi has been drawing BL. By now, though, they’re pretty much dating. Hirotaka and Narumi began by pretending to date, as she was afraid no guy would be able to tolerate her fandom behavior. It’s not a manga series that inspires a lot of “must read now” emotion in me, but it’s probably the one that I can most relate to, as it’s about a small group of adult friends being geeky and fannish. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku.
