Yo, I just stumbled across Between Us over on NamiComi, and I had to reach out. The setup you're building with Adam and Johnny navigating their first year of college especially with that nervous, classic mission to finally get a girlfriend feels so incredibly grounded and relatable. You've captured that exact, specific brand of late teens awkwardness, and Emma being thrown into the middle of their dynamic is the perfect recipe for some top tier drama.
Honestly, the moment Johnny tries to play matchmaker and set Adam up with Emma has so much visual potential. That specific, tension heavy transition where a group of friends tries to force a spark is begging for a comic adaptation. I can already picture the panels the nervous micro expressions, the subtle side eyes between Adam and Johnny, and Emma’s reaction to the whole setup. You can say so much with a tight, expressive manga layout during those quiet, awkward pauses that words alone can't fully capture.
