About the Manga
We Don't Know Love Yet is an intricate youth romance drama following six high school classmates as they experience the unpredictable tides of first love. The narrative skillfully captures the emotional turbulence of adolescence, where genuine feelings often conflict with unspoken anxieties.
The story centers on Eiji Aihara and Naohiko Bessho, childhood friends who share a close bond. While Naohiko continues a long-distance relationship with their mutual childhood friend Izumi, Eiji hides his own secret feelings for Izumi to protect Naohiko's happiness.
As new classmates enter their circle—including the blunt Fujimura, the observant Ikezawa, and the energetic Taichi—the dynamic grows even more tangled. Secret crushes, misunderstandings, and shifting loyalties test the boundaries of their group.
Created by Minami Mizuno, author of Rainbow Days, the manga is celebrated for its multi-perspective storytelling and delicate characterization. It offers a realistic look at how young people learn to articulate their true emotions.
