Matsumoto deliberately so as one of the later stories confirms. She loves Nanako very much, and refuses to jeopardize that by having sex with her or going any further than kisses, which could conceivably be explained away as innocent.

That is, until she graduates. Then her girlfriend's fair game.

That too but the way that the author makes it a point to show that Matsumoto actually treats this relationship a lot differently than her past relationships ends up coming across as fairly innocent despite those conscious decisions such as the one you described. (Not sure how to go about properly describing what I mean, lol.)

Well yeah, it's made clear from the start that there's something she gets out of the relationship that she's never had before, and that's reinforced later on. Basically speaking, Nanao is good for her. It could probably be said she's never been in love at all before, but merely observing the form of socially acceptable relationships without experiencing the substance.

This is being re-released (possibly with a new addition as well):

TIL Giving your lover your house keys is considered an unofficial wedding proposal in Japan.

Nanao's reaction here makes sense to me now.

Never thought that there would be another chapter to one of my favorites.

I like how the volume manages to cover every girl who was playing cards that night when Nanao revealed she was in love. If I remember right, that was also the first chapter she actually drew with any of them, so using it to draw characters from is pretty cool.

An anniversary edition was recently released, which I assume is where this new extra came from, as well as the bonus art.

Looks like we'll be expecting another chapter called "Married Life". Can't wait!

This makes me so happy. "Cute" wasn't anything too special, but just being reminded of one of my favorite series is so nice.

Oh man, I hope it's a full chapter and not just a three or four page extra. One of my favourite parts of the series is when Nanao proposed, so this'll be extra sweet.

Actually, what seems to have happened Hakusensha acquired the rights for some of the books done by Rakuen artists when they were working for different magazines (like Yuri Hime or Tsubomi), got them to do some additional chapters and did reprints—so we also got a Like a Cinderella re-release.

Now if only Hakusensha had bothered acquiring the ebook rights for them too, I'd be able to tell you just how long the next chapter is...

Unfortunately, it's only a 5-page extra. Still, exciting to have a new extra for the series!

Now that one was nice. I didn't take the time to look up kanji or words I didn't immediately recognize, but I still got enough out of it. I mean Nanao actually, (real spoiler) == right after graduation, voluntarily came out in front of her friends about her and Matsumoto-sensei. And it provoked Abi and Kiiko coming out too! And there's another couple in the background! ==

I hope somebody picks this short extra up soon. I suppose if nobody else does, I'll get to it myself eventually, but who knows when?

Edit: Spoiler bar removed. Thanks for the wonderful scanlation, lililicious.
