I love it. 4-panel talks for lesbian's life, love, and thoughts. I wonder if Akiko-san is a lesbian, too ^^?
Morishima Akiko is an out bisexual, and wrote a set of stories (http://dynasty-scans.com/series/happy_picture_diary) for the former lesbian magazine, Anise (http://dynasty-scans.com/anthologies/anise_magazine), which ran in the late 90's/early 2000's. These are the stories she refers to when she says in the afterword,
"Around the time when I debuted in a commercial magazine, I used to write this kind of manga and this brought back memories."
Happy Picture Diary certainly is in the same vein as this, exploring the real everyday lives of women-loving women in Japan.
This is the reason her stories always have the ring of truth when they concern LGBT life. She's living it.
