''Love Me, Love Me Not'' (''Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare'') is a [[ShoujoDemographic shoujo]] manga by Creator/IoSakisaka, which was serialized in the magazine ''Bessatsu Margaret'' from 2015 to 2019 and compiled into 12 volumes. It's licensed in English by Creator/VizMedia.

The story is centered around four students, each with their own ideas of love. Yuna dreams of falling in love, while down-to-earth Akari prefers a more realistic romance. Kazuomi has no idea what love is, while Rio will date anyone as long as she's cute.
