My favorite thing about Love Live birthdays is that we get doujin spam. I am literally sitting here at work waiting and you guys did disappoint! This was super cute :D

Nice, but somehow this didn't feel like Nozomi at all.
Different facial expressions maybe? Not sure. But seriously, I wouldn't know it's Nozomi if I wasn't told.

I think this is the first LL doujin I have read in which someone other than Nico cannot wear a ring at work. Is Nozomi a pro idol now?
Not complaining, mind you, I enjoyed the work, especially the unexpected benefit.

An insecure Nontan is fine, too.

Thanks so much. You guys rock!

About Nozomi not being able to wear a ring at work - when I first read the strip, two things immediately came to my mind:

  • She might be working somewhere with a dress code. Many Japanese businesses/companies have a strict dress code which you are expected to adhere to. I know some more conservative companies don't like their female staff wearing pants and high heels. They are also discouraged from wearing heavy make up or jewelry.

  • She doesn't want to openly flaunt her relationship with Eli because Japan isn't exactly very open to gay relationships.

Thanks to the translators :] Very cute. For once we see Nozomi being the crybaby xD

I wonder if this warrants the Adult life tag?

I thought she might be working in a food related job, as a chef, apprentice, kitchen assistant...

Here in Japan they are very strict if you work with food. That means no rings, no bracelets, no nail polish, nails always cut short and clean... if you cut your hand you can't even use normal band aid, you have to use approved liquid bandage. The supervisor checks everyone's hands before starting work...

Also no facial piercing (like eyebrow piercing, nose piercing, lip piercing, etc...), no earrings and no necklaces (jewelry in general) because the risk of them somehow getting in the food.

And no make up. Because the risk of the make up products getting in the food.

Usually, the short comics for a specific girl's birthday don't get posted until 2 - 3 days after. But we don't want to be late, and these were delayed doujins from Nozomi's birthday so we're like "Well, release on Eri's!" LOL

I might be reading too much into this, but why wouldn't she be able to wear a ring in her workplace? Is she working as a hostess or something?

There's still a bit of a stigma against Gay couples over in Japan, there's a good chance she may get grief for it, unfortunately ;_;
