I don´t get anything I´m just confused as hell. Or maybe I get it but don´t realise it because my mind tells me its horribly complex when it´s actually not. It wasn´t good to read this before sleep. Should read it again when fully awake.

So, the first person that called was Koishi? And because Satori was looking for her caller with her third eye, in addition to her stress and Koishi's finicky nature, she missed Koishi and felt like she was stood up?

Then she went on a date with Sumirenko who woke up right before they did it? And Koishi finally found her sister after all this time?

Wow, this escalated quickly.

Things I liked:
* Rarepairing!
* A work that features Sumireko!
* Satori really was cute (at least in the first half of the work), being so nervous and embarrassed before putting on a cool front for Sumireko. It seems like she wanted to appear like she's in control and composed, which is why she didn't tell Sumireko that this was a first time for her too.
* Koishi's comforting her sister at the end, as well as her "You should start out as friends", which I'll go into next.
* The sad chibi Koishi waiting for her sister and happy chibi Rin congratulating Satori for finally getting a date, both in the credits.
* Art was pretty nice overall

What I didn't like:
* Why is it that so many stories have the couple having sex (or about to, in this case) right after meeting each other? This part is why I liked Koishi's line at the end.
* The narrative would've done better to show Satori's nervousness more in front of Sumireko, or at least have it show her hiding her nervousness.
* A bit of a disappointing ending, with Satori and Sumireko's relationship left unclear. I hope the author has a sequel to this that has them working it out.
* Overall the pacing and such was confusing, which I can see confused some other readers as well.

I liked this comic, but it could be better. Satori x Sumireko is an interesting pairing for sure though - they have being socially awkward loners in common, so I could see this ship happening. Unfortunately, this doujin didn't really go into them having that in common, so I'm sad about that.

Still confused on what exactly happened. It's a decent pairing with potential but needs a bit of work. I didn't quite get how they got to love hotel status right after Satori exposed her mind reading ability and Sumi was embarrassed. Maybe that's why Koishi came in and told Satori to first start out as friends?

That's something I was confused about as well. Like I said, they escalated way too quickly.

Actually, I could see why that would happen - both of them have no idea how to go about dating, so going straight to a hotel on their first meeting is something both assumed would normally happen. I think that's implied with page 23 as well, when Sumireko saw a similarly aged girl going out with some old guy (apparently, that sort of thing happens in Japane? Gross.). That'd be why Koishi showed up at the end, to help Satori through with Sumireko when she appeared again.

The author probably could've done a better job of portraying all of that though, as it's mostly speculation on my part.

At least the last page explained the title.

That Koishi's line punched me in the guts.
I think both Satori and Sumireko are just too lonely and don't really know how to start a relationship, so they just jump on it, like Norainnhere said. That's why Koishi's line is just. My guts.
It can be better, but it's pretty good for me.

Reread this for the the first time in a while. Rapa never did end up making a sequel to this, but I'd like to imagine that Sumireko and Satori do manage to meet each other again some time after this.
