I always loved this one. Page 3 is so incredibly natural, the two of them goofing around, their workmates just accepting it as normal, really underlines how well they know each other, which adds a bit more weight to Miki's later concerns. Her fear reaction toward the end is really relatable as a result.

I read this some time ago and I still love it just as much as before, I am actually surprise this doesn't have more attention.

I love the realism this one shot has to it and how easy it is to relate too =]

Also I love the artwork ^_^

It's always a bit sad when I find a piece I really like, and then can't find much else by the artist. Especially the case with yuri, since I find it to be pretty common.

Anyway, their art is rather fantastic, so maybe these will interest someone (not all yuri, btw)...

...or maybe they won't.

I just need to move to japan.

Came to know this one today... it was really nice! That art! Would like to see more yuri works from the author.

Cute :D

This is one of my favorite!

Would love to see more from this mangaka.

Oh my god, this is so good... It hit me in a weak spot... *sob*

Wow, how did I miss this one until now...it was glorious. Thank you Lililicious.

Mooooooaaaaaaarrrr!!!

A perfect read for a good night :3

I can't believe I never read this before. It's beautiful <3

The...relatability.... it's... too much! I love this oneshot. The ending makes me so happy! I wish my feelings were reciprocated for once. The annoying thing about some aaaaaangst oneshots is that they become twisted (such as having the angsting girl become horrible) or have unhappy endings. This handled its tone perfectly.

Yep, completely relatable. T_T I love this one.

There is actually a compilation of stories by Fumie Akuta available: "Imouto ga dekimashita" -- same name as the first manga of the collection "I got myself a little sister", which is the other translated manga on here. The volume also contains five more stories, many of which actually look quite interesting (my lack of Japanese prevents me from being able to say much more about them, alas).

jtt

These will all be translated, except for the "Graduation Day" story.

Note one thing we learn from the tank is that Sailor Avalon actually got the name wrong here - the second lead's name is Kouno-san rather than Kawano-san, and the title thus should be "My Beloved Kouno-san."

If the title is changed though, people would be confused by who is Kouno-san, so if someone to correct the name in the manga then it would be prudent.

Right, I certainly wouldn't suggest just arbitrarily changing the title of somebody's release. I did mention it to SA so we'll see what she says. Obviously it's the same story whether her name is Kawano or Kouno.

I was just saying if one of the mods decided to change the name xD But yeah, it still would be one of the sweetest stories :]

I should've known better than to think Sailor Avalon would make a mistake, but this was author (or publisher) error. The name as it appears in Tsubomi and in the tankoubon reissue are different. The original "Kawano" spelling was probably a typo, but this release is correct in terms of what it was actually translating. Lililicious has noted the change on their Tsubomi page so no further action should be necessary.

Awesome, I already remember her as Kawano so even if it was changed I would've searched for that xD Is there any extras in the tankoubon?

The infallibility of Sailor Avalon is hereby re-affirmed.

Is there any extras in the tankoubon?

A three page-bonus story for this titled (no points for guessing this one) "I Got Myself a Big Sister."

Still just subtext no doubt? Would it kill them to make a sequel to a subtext one a yuri one? xD

Why not translate Graduation Day?
