The Conditions of Paradise (Japanese: 楽園の条件, Hepburn: Rakuen no Jouken) is a Japanese yuri manga written and illustrated by Akiko Morishima. It was first serialized in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime in 2007 as a series of one-shots before being collecting into a single tankōbon volume. Morishima went on to revisit similar themes and characters that first appeared in The Conditions of Paradise in later one-shots that were also collected into single tankōbon volumes as Ruriiro no Yume and Hajimete, Kanojo to. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed all three volumes for English-language release and titled them collectively as The Conditions of Paradise.[1][2]
Sarina and Sumi are best friends and total opposites. Sarina is an organized office worker, while Sumi is a carefree travelling freelance writer. Despite their different lifestyles the two have remained close, with Sarina always offering Sumi a place to crash between travelling. However, their relationship is tested as they navigate between being friends with benefits and having genuine feelings for each other.
