Reading it again, does it look like Nico asking if anything's going on with Nozomi is essentially her being in denial about being friendzoned to anybody else? I didn't catch it on the first readthrough, but it definitely looks like Nico was expecting her to say something else.
I believe this is the conclusion of the NozoNico series this artist was building up too.
Look up Kanbayashi Makoto on this site and you'll see other NozoNico doujins building up their romance.
I'm glad to see these two ending up together in the end in this doujin.
First off. PRECIOUS LITTLE BOY COTARO! AND MAMA YAZAWA!
I love seeing them...
And also, did... Nico hit her head on her locker?
I think this needs the Aaaaangst tag
