The detailed, exaggerated close up facial expressions were amazing. It's incredible that 3 short pages can have so many people (myself included) wishing for more.
Think you missed the word "before" in the comment you're quoting. Also the reference to that thing of awe, "Ore Monogatari" in which the dating starts pretty early in the story. Warning: Ore Monogatari is not yuri, in fact the male lead is so incredibly beyond manly as to be a parody. But, it's very sweet and funny and has awesome art and great characters and (foam foam foam) . . . ahem. Well, you get the idea.
