oh my glob
that face

I love this one shot but everytime I reread it I always think - how did they meet? How did they fall in love? How did they get together? Especially as she says, they're in totally different worlds.

Same! I was really hoping Hato's talk bubbles didn't turn all scribbly as she told the story. Still a cute oneshot none the less.

Still one of my favorites!

Very cute. That moment when you find something you read long ago but forgot what it was called, feels good.

And omg this is by the same mangaka that made Blank... How could I miss it, :X

"By the way, this may appear to have a happy ending, but I realised later that it really doesn't. None of their problems are resolved."
So says the author, in the afterword. It's a little bitter, but it's such a refreshingly frank way to look at it that I end up liking both the story and the author that much more.

Dunno. "None" is the wrong term here. In the end Ito did start inviting Hatoko out, and stopped pushing her away (even if she thought pushing her away was for the better). And all of the problems are on Ito...Hatoko has a future plan and is invested completely in the relationship.

So I think the author was a little short-sighted on that quote. There are issues to work out, but this is, more than anything, a hopeful ending.

i love this one-shot

An embarassed tomboy is my fetish... I like to harvest their reactions

I find it highly suspicious that you comment here the same day I read this. Something is afoot.

I'm not satisfied, I need MORE!

Dammit!!! The way I am feeling now is what Ito-chan is feeling...yet she is lucky for having someone beside her...that understand and cheering her up.

Yes! It's so cute!! :D I also liked Ito-chan's more feminine style. I would have liked to see a continuation where Ito-chan progresses and becomes more social because in the beginning of the chapter she is a bit of a jerk.

Age gap isn't really my jam but this is really sweet

Wait but how does she make a living i want to know

Hahaha I really REALLY like that kind of One-shots

That was cute.

But seriously, get a job, you bum.

I love re-reading this. The artstyle is so early 2000's shoujo manga.

Wait but how does she make a living i want to know

She did say she works from home.

... which was an obvious lie, they discussed at the start of this how she can't find a job suiting her education.
