 Yuuki has decided that she wants a soul mate and goes out with her friend to meet someone, but someone from her past also comes back into her life.
As a first volume, it did a good job of establishing the background and plot, and I enjoyed the art. However, it didn't click for me, mainly because Yuuki isn't happy with her soulmate-less life.

How I Met My Soulmate is a lovely college-aged romance following Yuuki, a university student from the countryside with a dream of finding her soulmate. She meets Iori, an intimidating and handsome dental student, in a club. After hearing about Yuuki's dream, he becomes determined to help her find her perfect match. 

The art is soft and sweet, reminding me of shoujo manga I read when I was young, and the characters are all unique with their own personal motivations. I’m definitely invested in Yuuki’s pursuit of love and will be picking up volume 2.

How I Met My Soulmate is a story about Yuki, a 20-year-old girl who is lonely and searching for a soulmate. She met Iori, a dental student in a club, who decided to help her search for her soulmate. Later, she reunited with her school crush, Seno.

Yuki and Iori’s interaction is adorable; I love the way they take care of each other. I loved their dynamic; it was cute.

Characters in this manga communicate with each other to resolve doubts and misunderstandings, which I liked in the storyline.

It was a cute and enjoyable read. I loved the artwork and the storyline.

I’m excited to read Vol. 2 and see where the story takes them.

Yuuki, a 20 year old college sophomore explores relationships, old connections, and interactions with an interesting potential love interest 👀 (he also happens to be in dental school??) This book screams 20 something trying to figure out life and love and I’m here for it! I smell a love triangle 🥴😂 but I’m excited to see how things unfold!

Thanks Netgalley for my arc!

Anashin's 'How I Met My Soulmate' is a delightful manga filled with charming characters and a heartwarming storyline. The art style is visually appealing, capturing emotions beautifully. The pacing keeps you engaged, and the exploration of themes like fate and connection adds depth. While some plot elements may feel familiar, the execution brings a fresh perspective. Looking forward to the next installment!
