no one notice that she shouldn't be blushing because she is a gost and blushing in a short for blood rush plus how could she know that she like her if she don't even have a heart to skip a beat

She's a disembodies spirit that can fly and walk through walls. Pretty certain the normal rules of biology don't apply.

My interpretation is that Nanako was doing the whole not-actually-a-ghost-thing while at a hospital somewhere (a room that smells of antiseptics is obviously a hospital ward). Judging by the fact that she sleeps on her side at the end of chapter 1, she must not be in coma, but unable to leave the hospital, anyway. In chapter 2, her condition apparently improved so much that she was able to sneak out of the ward to meet up with Yui while maintaining the ghost charade, probably because of her extreme relationship anxiety. However, after Yui demonstrates her love for her in the most physical way possible, Nanako returns to the hospital in order to convince the doctors she has recovered enough to leave permanently.

Not possible, given that she passes through a wall and floats upside-down during that same visit, prior to the kiss. Plus, when physical she's perfectly healthy and agile, a far cry from her own description.

yup! she was still a "ghost"... though, at this time she was already aware of her physical condition. Was it possible for them to touch one another? I believe so. Since up to this time, our knowledge on our physical brain is still limited. For that many spiritual events can't be logically explain. I remembered Renè Descarte's Cogito Ergo Sum which means I think therefor I am. This discourse simply recognizes the power of our minds backing up whatever the mind conceives, it takes form. Nanako-chan extreme desire triggers that one-tracked mind to fulfill in touching Yui-chan. That's what I think...

It does touch upon the past thing, it's just that she chooses to not address it, after Yui asks her about it.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. (Or I'm not on the same page as you here.) I know that it showed some flashbacks of her memories of living but in chapter one she resolved that she was going to tell Yui the truth about remembering her past when she got home then that never happened. It's not even implied that it happened off-screen or anything either. Since that was kinda a fairly major detail in the first chapter it really results in the second chapter feeling really disjointed.

If you go by what is widely accepted when dealing with ghosts or read this then her disappearing isn't weird, her having a physical body can be attributed to strong emotional feelings

Fair enough point, I do think it's something that shouldn't just happen with zero explanation though.

and she does come back. Look at the last page again.

Yeah, I know. That's not what I meant though. Even ignoring the part where chapter 1 is almost completely disconnected from the events of chapter 2 they both confess their feelings to the other, Yui falls asleep, then when she wakes up Nanako is gone without any explanation at all and is clearly gone for many years judging by the last page.

Probably a very late answer but never mind. I do not think that the two chapters are disjoined from each other ..
In Chapter 1 she says that she wants to greet Yui with a smile (which she did) and then wants to tell her everything about herself, she just did not do it because she was interrupted by the fact that she suddenly had her body.

the two chapters CLEARLY are not meant to be a continuation, they are 2 separated one shot were in second the author might had the idea of making another one shot in with the same characters but NSFW, completely doesn’t take in consideration the other one shot story, because they both aren’t in the same magazine!
