Hey, was that a kiss in page 28???
I think it was... even tho it's not shown distinctly... I mean, in panel 2 Nene and Taru seem to be face to face and close enough to touch lips... and in panel 3 we see that Taru is standing on tiptoes, which is a classic movie shtick meaning that you're trying to reach the lips of a taller partner...
I think they kissed. I'm guessing that's why sempai is smiling so smugly: she caught them on camera. I foresee lots of angst when Amane sees the pics.
Oh, and are those beads of sweat, or saliva just a few panels after? :^)
Hey... you're right! I can't believe I missed that. Laugh at me if you want, but I must admit I hadn't noticed at all. >_<
Taking another look, I also saw this:

Two beads of saliva on Nene's lips! :-D
(Well, either that, or just light reflected on her lip gloss or something... :P )
On a side note, it’s interesting how we don’t see Nene’s eyes whenever she has strong reactions in this chapter, like when she’s told off by her sister’s friend or when she’s blushing while staring at Kou.
I remember reading comments on that before... it's been suggested that the reason for that is to hide that, at those times, her third eye opens, lol.
