I thought the ending was pretty sweet and the extra.

This is one of the few rare work that made my face go :3

Same here! It wasn't the greatest ive read but you could feel the story ^_^
...fave part was when she thought "I cant help but smile"

I want sequel.

This was wonderful. Predictable, but wonderful.
Somehow I didn't recognize the artist at first, art evolution hm.
I really like this kind of character, seemingly emotionless, but just bad at expressing it. There should be a tag for this, not sure how to call it though.

And that extra, hehe. Show us all!

P.S. Two errors noticed. P7 - "writ", P18 - "for forever"

Rather enjoyed this, and I'm the sort of person that hates any kind of Y chromosome in my yuri manga :p
Is there a continuation of this, a second part perhaps? I would have liked a little more development.

Yotsuhara Furiko is great~

I don't believe there'll be a sequel, unless Furiko-sensei does something like Morishima-sensei and continues some of her stories in a different volume, given the description for the volume this was released in.

The story kinda dragged a bit in the start, but it ended rather sweetly. This is one of those stories that the protagonist and their love interest don't even need to show intimacy (i.e. Hugging or kissing) to make me feel butterflies in my stomach. Just the story line is good enough.

Careful here.

Love this ! <3 kinda cute when fumi goes all embarrased in front of hana-chan

The friend's reaction to the book is a little surprising, considering she knows it's based on her friend. The natural assumption is that the artist who falls for another woman is Hanako, and the girl who she loves but is in love with someone else must be Kozue, without knowing that it's actually the author falling for Hanako. But she seems pretty unaffected by the idea of her best friend being outed as a lesbian in love with her.

Just naturally unflappable, maybe?

Huh? Wait, how did you get there? Kozue understands that it's not Artist that Hanako is model for:

"Heroine modeled after you is very cute, I can understand why the protagonist falls in love with her", is what she says - and protagonist is the "Solitary Artist".

She could probably guess that Hanako might be in love with someone. But she could also think that Hanako is a model for personality, but not for actual plot. What's more, we don't really know the genders of book characters except for "the heroine".

Ah, what a cute story. It gave off a refreshing feeling, despite the predictable plot. I kind of figured it out, but overall it was still a good read.

Awwwww so cute (///_ ///)

"What's more, we don't really know the genders of the book characters except for the heroine."
Page 9
The Heroine is obviously a girl, hence heroine. We know the protagonist is also a girl because of page 9. It's a story of unrequited lesbian love.

Fumi is the protagonist - solitary artist
Hanako is the Heroine (being the center of the love triangle makes her the heroine)
Kuzue is the woman the Heroine is in love with.

The story is about the protagonist (solitary artist) falling in love with another girl, not the heroine who is in love with someone else. Kuzue should have been able to surmise that the Heroine was in love with someone, but with whom and what gender that person is, Kuzue would not have known. (From the information given in the one shot.) Fumi was able to guess that Hanako was in love with Kuzue and also knew the love was unrequited. Whether or not she used that specific example in her book we don't know.

such a nice heartwarming story ^.^

Still, we don't really know that about the book.
After all, she made her dead brother into a deceased daughter, so it's not unusual for her to change things a lot.
Story is about artist falling in love with a heroine, who already loves someone else.
While it could be a girl, we aren't told that. But it seems that the book is about love and art, not about same-gender difficulties.

A fact that the friend doesn't know, and was only told to the main character.

Yes, I did get that one part wrong, which the friend sees as being based on her. However, even that still leaves her being portrayed as in love with someone, and even if it's not revealed to be a girl (we don't know) she doesn't seem a bit curious about that which is a bit odd considering the friend knows her very well and knows she doesn't have many people in her life.

Yeah, that I agree with. But I think she's got a bit too much sempai on her mind to use it...

That was really sweet!
I like this one fav :3

freakin' like it~ xD wish they kind of got more together like where we see it in the end... :v lol

Aww so cute!! Thank you for the translation. It has been awhile since I have read one with a satisfied ending.

This was just adorable. I'm favoriting this one!
