It's okay to assume that Tomo is the cutest girl in the entire world? Just with the second page... The look in her face was too much for me to handle, so cute...

It's snowing and it feels so warm...

I would personally tag everything in Tsubomi Yuri unless there were strong reasons not to

I concur, but do believe this gets brought up every time a yuri magazine has a not-so-yuri chapter.

So I'm not the only one, who cried at this right? Right!? ;_;

I think the thread is pretty much filled with tears at this point.

Okay, I'm sorry, maybe I'm just slow on the uptake or my analytical skills are just lacking severely, but can someone please be so, so kind as to explain this oneshot to me?

I'm completely lost all over the place.

Kiyo (the long-haired girl) previously knew Tomo's mother when she was younger. Tomo's mother used to be the caretaker/maid for Kiyo, since Kiyo used to be sickly when she was young. When Kiyo was younger, Tomo's mother made a promise to Kiyo that they would have a Christmas party together.

However, Kiyo ended up getting a fever due to Tomo's mother. Kiyo's household ended up firing Tomo's mother and didn't let her see Kiyo again. As a result, the promise Tomo's mother made was not kept. When Kiyo grew older, she went to see Tomo's mother hoping for the promise to be somehow be fulfilled, only to find that Tomo's mother already has a child, who is Tomo.

She ends up finding Tomo alone on the streets, while everyone is enjoying Christmas. Kiyo calls her mother to let her know that she's taking care of Tomo. As she spends time with Tomo, she can tell the resemblance that Tomo has to her mother in both appearance and personality. In the end they spend Christmas together, including with her mother (possibly before Christmas ends?) who arrives late at night. So in the end, all the promises were finally fulfilled.

Sorry about the rather cut and dry summary lol...

Fukuzawas are 10,000 yen bills, which feature the face of Fukuzawa Yukichi. 20,000 yen is around $200/€150/£125.

How of many of you predict kiyo has a romantic encounter with Tomo's mom....awee if only this one big lesbian family :') it will be a totally different outcome. But I love the story nonetheless

Ah. No wonder I've been having a dejavu. I actually had read this (and its continuation) in Chinese before.
SPOILER:
After Tomo grew up, she and Kyou has started an affair. It's a 8-page short one about another x-mas. Tomo's mom didn't get a break, though.

I think I found it guys

...Not quite in the sense I meant. Though, it seems you read my post quite a differently than I meant it to be read from the start. My fault for sucking at words, I guess.

No, it's fine, my fault. Trying to maintain a release-per-day cycle and still getting whined at by people today didn't exactly put me in a place where I interpret things in the most positive manner.
