Synopsis

Jiwon's ordinary friendship with her childhood best friend changes after an impulsive kiss. Instead of explaining what it meant, the other girl begins avoiding her, leaving Jiwon furious, embarrassed, and unable to stop thinking about it. Their familiar roles repeatedly reverse as each tests the boundaries of friendship, attraction, and pride. School gossip and new romantic interests add pressure to a relationship neither girl knows how to define.

Story profile
★ My Take

Relationship Guidelines captures the particular panic of realizing a lifelong friendship may no longer fit its old label. EPUM is good at reversing who pursues and who retreats, allowing both girls to be insecure, jealous, and occasionally unfair. The clean art and strong reaction work keep the drama readable even when emotions become tangled. The same device can overstay its welcome: delayed conversations repeatedly reset progress, and some secondary threads feel abandoned once they have served the central push-pull. Readers divided on the leads' behavior are responding to a real feature rather than a flaw in interpretation. Still, the completed series ultimately rewards patience with a convincing shift from possessive uncertainty to chosen commitment.

✓ Why you'd like it

The childhood history gives every small change in behavior unusual weight, and the pursuit never belongs permanently to only one heroine. Their awkward experimentation feels recognizably adolescent, while jealousy and humor keep the long romantic tension lively. It is a satisfying pick for readers who enjoy watching friendship become something neither person can easily name.

⚠ What may not be for everyone

Much of the conflict could be shortened by direct communication, and the leads sometimes hurt each other while testing feelings they refuse to state. Supporting storylines lose momentum late in the run. Readers who dislike hot-and-cold behavior or prolonged jealousy may find the middle portion especially frustrating.
