I'm surprised to see a bit of story telling by Tomo instead of just porn. Maki is soo hot

It's so beautiful I'm gonna cry!!! God I love NicoMaki so much!
Oh and btw, I kinda want to buy a physical copy of this doujin series. Anyone knows where I can order them online? :3

I believe both the anthology and the sequel stand-alone book are both still in stock on Tora no Ana. TnA plays nicely with overseas forwarding companies, unlike Melonbooks, so I recommend using them. That's where I got mine from.

Let me know if you need any help with it. I TOTALLY encourage people to buy physical copies of any doujin works they like! Support the artists, yo!

Hehe, Maki on top. This was too damn good.

By the sounds of it, there were some non-Ooshima Tomo stories in the initial anthology? I've yet to import any manga outside of tankoubons, but this just might be a good opportunity.

^ What kind of proxy services might you recommend? I heard that Tora no Ana changed their policy on overseas forwarding only recently, but have up to this point only stuck to services which can deliver directly.

Yeah, there's a half-dozen or so other authors in the anthology that are unrelated to the Crystal Sugar & Machine Gun story. All short things, most reasonably interesting, but scanning from a tankoubon is a pain if I'm not willing to rip up my books.

As for forwarding services, I use Tenso, which I know a lot of people complain about because of prices but I've never had an issue with them, eh. I once had books arrive on my doorstop in Australia something like 3 or 4 days after they arrived at Tenso's warehouses. I don't mind paying extra for that kind of speed. I suspect most any of the forwarding or proxy purchasing services you can find would work well enough as well.

Holy $hit the previous chapter left me puzzled but this just had me crying that was really good! it's not over? I'm gonna bite my thumb off ugh!

yay happy ending!!!!

That last one was a lot better than the rest of the series I really enjoyed it. Probayou just because it wasn't out of order tho. And no art shifts. But wow, while I hate the idea of Maki and Nicole breaking up, this story was really nice. Nice to see Ooshima finally got them in futon. ^.^
Can't wait for more~

Argh!!! Oshima-sama really is the best!!!
Conflicting emotions, gorgeous art, great story!!!
Man! Maki's so hot in this!
Even without the futon, I'll definitely eat her all up!

So sexy~

fuck, Im crying right now ;_; such good end ;_;

~~ Pure bliss ~~

You can feel the love in this ;-;

Sweet story, there needs to be more doujin like this where it explores relationships in the future.

Also did Nico win that event? You can kinda see her twin tails on the tv in the background.

edit: nvm I just re-read and nico mentions she's not an idol anymore which means she must have lost.

nico mentions she's not an idol anymore which means she must have lost.

Eh its for the best, i don't think nico realizes how crazy japan can get with idols, their entire life is controlled by someone else, they are literally puppets so yeah..........probably better for her to pursue other jobs and live a happy life with maki

I like how Niko decided to be the one to take of Maki's ring.

Yeah, felt like some sort of reverse mariage. ^^

I like this story so far.

I am fairly sure Nico won the contest, hence why she got on the television and why Maki saw her and came to her. She's less of an idol and more of a... talent, I guess. A lesser known TV star. Not the idol she dreamed of being.

This really shows how Ooshima sensei doesn't only make porn: Ooshima really can actually produce a cute story.

And Angsty and Not Porn Ooshima Tomo's?!

LOOOL im laughing xDDD
I think this is the best doujin Ooshima made so far,, it contains more feels than p0rn like other doujins.. like it!

Even though Nico was the one who wanted it most, I never saw her becoming a huge idol. I think the only person in the entire group who had the best shot was Honoka

Anyway, this short series was bloody brilliant and if they were ever to create a canon story this would have to be part of it. How they ended up fits Nico and Maki's personalities almost perfectly. You always new Nico was constantly ahead of herself.

..thank goodness it ended like I've been wanting for, it was sooo lovely story. My eyes got tearful while I read this and even porn, I really love Ooshima Tomo's work because I can feel the love. I hope I can get an autograph from Ooshima If I can go to Japan. (^o^)/

dis so good, so so good~~, charm!

so maki just ditched the dude she was engaged to just like that

well
damn

It looked like arranged marriage - even though we don't see him much, I doubt he was in love with her either

First of all, it was an arranged marriage. Senondly, I'm pretty sire we was a duche bag and talked crap about her with his side hoes (though I may have made that part up in my head, Idr.) And lastly but MOST IMPORTANTLY, in no universe will Maki EVER end up with a male. EVER.
