How My Cute Girlfriend and I Started a Love Story, Volume 1 FOC December 14, 2026

A sweet office romance GL between a cute, friendly girl and her seemingly stoic colleague—who actually has an adorable clumsy side!Office lady Kako Yokosawa loves cute things, and that includes herself! She wears her cute face like a shield, her greatest strength against an uncaring world that judges her based on shallow assumptions. When stoic, intimidating saleswoman Chiaki Kurusu asks her out to dinner, Kako gives her the same brush-off she does every guy who asks her out just because she's a pretty face... only to be shocked when Chiaki calls her bluff. As the two women grow closer, blurring the line between friends and something more, Kako makes a shocking discovery: beneath her cold and professional mask, Chiaki hides a soft and earnest side... one that might be even cuter than Kako's!
