I took it upon myself to reboot this story's discussion thread. Apologies to anyone who had left legitimate comments on it; please feel free to do so again.

For myself, I was quite pleased to see this continuation, as I thought the first story had an ambiguously melancholy ending. I was hoping to hear an explanation as to why Tsune continues to wear the cold mask so frequently when she doesn't appear to be ill, but perhaps it's simply to cover her shyness. Regardless, thanks Yuri Project for another enjoyable release.

How do you know if you liked if you haven't actually read it?
She clearly says she has a hay fever in part one.

Great way to start the thread over.

To be honest, it took a bit to realize that this was a continuation since it had been a bit since I'd read the first. But even on its own it's a really cute story.

It didn't really explain her distance from her classmates all that much either, but it didn't really matter since that wasn't the focus here.

That doesn't explain why she says she's going to wear it "anyway", and continues to do so through the period of time depicted, which presumably goes past pollen season. In any case, it was a passing remark - which incidentally is the same way this thread got derailed before, people criticizing other people's offhand comments.

Because she had snot running down her face and there are still allergens in the air almost regardless of the season, plus why don't know the exact time of year the story takes place, we see leaved trees so it safe to assume it's not fall or winter. Plus, Japanese people where those masks all the time go.

Ah this was so cute and sweet! I thought it was going to be one of those annoying "were both girls so we cant be together, so lets just be friends" fake-yuri stories.

What is it about this story that makes people react so aggressively? It's a cute romance, people! You're supposed to be happy!

Happy stories are nice, good read.

Maybe she is just very susceptible to colds or allergies... Or the author just forgot but I will believe the first option hehe.
Excellent and beautiful continuation, thanks for translating.

I thought in the first part Tsune mentions she gets hayfever. But I might not be remembering correctly.

Well, this story takes place after the beauty pageant mentioned in the first part, so it is indeed a bit unlikely that her hay fever lasts that long. But considering Asaki is about to graduate and how she talks about Tsune and their relationship in her inner monologue it actually sounds as if quite some time has passed. Maybe it's an entire year, so it's pollen season again.
Anyways, no need to get upset over such a small detail.

I liked the story (both parts, I mean) a lot. Tsune especially, she doesn't seem like an overly cliched tsundere. It seems she's very shy when it comes to communicating her feelings, but not automatically as shy when other things are concerned. When there's reason (warning another about a perv, having some small talk, explaning obviously odd behavior of others), she does talk, which makes her more realistic. And yes, I can connect with such a character on a very personal level, since I'm the same (though I do talk a lot more once I start, hehe).

The ending was so nice. Ugh I'm so happy. The first part left me hanging, but now I feel satisfied! Definitely favoriting this.

Best fucking thing ever! Beautiful end to such lovely characters' story. I'm gonna miss these two.

Bay far this authors best work. Though, her other works are great, too.

the girl with the mask is one attractive manga character

I actually like sempai more, her many faces make me laugh and they're pretty cute.

"Delish" face is the best xD
(Now need one for Tsune)

First story has great expressions as well... Maybe not so many along the silliness of this one.

That "delish" line actually has a pun behind it. As the "delish" is referring to both the drink and the situation they are in. That kind of gets lost in translation though.

NGHHHGHH I want more. Or a side story perhaps. T_T

I'm glad there was a happy ending equal to ease all of our souls, but I totally liked the first one better.

lol well brothers too bad they won't be using those condoms

awesome follow up, didn't have the same emotional impact as the first part, but still good!

Exam season is in late winter, school year ends in spring. That should answer the face mask question.

Ive re-read this story so many times. I love it so much!

Jesus Christ, this thing is so perfect you can even hear the fulfilling background music at the end
