In 2015, mangaka Io Sakisaka launched the manga Love Me, Love Me Not, in the pages of Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine. Completing in 2019, the comic sold a total of 12 compiled volumes.
The story follows two girls who are best friends as they end up in league with two other young men, one who talks with many girls and the other who is too unaware for his own good. As time progresses, the friendships created begin to grow into something much more serious.
