Fumi is 30 year old OL who feels conflicted about not living up to her own image of an ideal modern woman, because she wants to be pampered by a man rather than being able to feel validated through self-love. She uses a matching app recommended to her by a colleague and goes to meet with what she thought was a very attractive man, only to discover they're a woman.

In chapter 3 the protagonist is still trying to use the app to find a man to hook up with, but ends up more interested in befriending a married mother who she then goes to Disneyland with.

I really look forward to reading this series, mostly for how strong it is at conveying the charm and energy of the women.

Volume 1 will be released Oct 8th.

I don't know whether it's a straight series that puts a spotlight on the value of female friendship, but it could quite easily turn out to be a GL series. I personally would prefer the latter, but I don't want to be in a mindset like it would be bad if it's the former.

Spoilers for where it's atFumi, the protagonist, is still using the app to find a man, and chapter 7 ends with her meeting a man for a first date. But... Sura, the first woman she met, gets on so well with Fumi that she has moved in to live with Fumi until Sura next goes for her job as a cruise ship concierge.
