Love isn't something Kiyomi Yamada ever wanted to understand.
To her, it was a dangerous word — the kind that breaks people, the kind she promised herself to never believe in. But everything changes when an unexpected bond forms between her and Minato Shimizu, the quiet boy from Class 2A who always seems to be hiding something behind his calm eyes.
As Kiyomi's once ordinary school life unravels into a tangle of laughter, secrets, and longing, she finds herself caught between friends growing apart — Akio's jealousy, Hinata's heartbreak, and Asahi's quiet care.
When gossip begins to spread, and unspoken truths ripple through Class 2A, Kiyomi must finally face the one question she's avoided her whole life:
How do you love someone… when you're afraid of losing them?
Told through Kiyomi's eyes — with humor, tenderness, and the ache of first love — How Do You Love is a heartfelt slice-of-life story about friendship, fear, and the small, quiet ways people learn to love.
