What it's about

Spoiler level: Minor — for the synopsis & review below

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.

Ch. 02 · Our verdict

My take

Relationship Guidelines captures the panic of realizing a lifelong friendship may not fit its old label, and EPUM lets both girls be insecure, jealous, and sometimes unfair. The clean art and strong reactions keep the tangled drama readable. Delayed conversations keep resetting progress, and some side threads are dropped. The completed series rewards patience with a convincing move toward chosen commitment.

✓ Read it if…

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.

! Skip it if…

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.
