Very awkward and wooden translation this chapter...also not a fan of "smack dat booty" and similar injections of original content, I have to say.

This is a strange one. Very disjointed-feeling narrative, hard to follow. Also extremely dubious consent when Chouko made her move on Tsubomi, although considering this author, perhaps I should be grateful it wasn't more sleazy than it was. Still, I thought it was interesting. Thanks Doranku.

Aoi without her sidetail is barely recognizeable...this was very silly, but cute and sexy all the same. Thanks Lazy Lily.

Conflicted feelings. I honestly wasn't feeling the yuri at all. Yasuko is just such an unlikeable character, and in an odd kind of back-handed compliment, this is probably a more realistic depiction of siblings than I've seen in most yuri manga...which is why the ending felt a bit tacked on as well, abruptly changing the nature of their relationship.

So for me it was intriguing as a work of manga rather than for its narrative merits, although I would be interested to see the sequel. Thanks for your efforts, Yuri Project.

Well, I liked it. Yuri needs more stuff like this. Thanks Akiba.

Kind of a surprise that it was Wendy's mother's anonymous lover who was the kind voice of reason who helped smooth the way for the two of them to leave for boarding school. That's... not how that character is usually used in these kinds of stories. ><;

Was it? I thought maybe the husband was now back from the war . . . but maybe you're right.
Marly noticing that the man with Wendy's mother was different from who she remembered could work either way; either she remembers the wartime lover and is surprised to now see the husband, or she remembers the husband from before the war and is surprised to now see the lover. Lemme think . . . actually, I don't think Marly knew Wendy before the war and the lover. 'Cause, she first got to know Wendy when her mother was crying all the time, which would be during the war when she had a lover. So the first man she would have associated with Wendy's mother would be the lover. Which means if there's a different guy around now, it's either a different anonymous lover, or it's the husband, back from the war. Also, Wendy's story says "While he was gone for the war", which suggests he is no longer gone for the war.

So pretty sure guy stepping up is Wendy's returned father.

Except the very first page, narrated by Wendy, says that her father "didn't come back in the end".

A great work. Yuri needs more works like this. Great writing, interesting and atypical setting and mood, fantastic art. I hope more Ugawa Hiroki works appear in future.

Thanks, Yuri Project.

Wonderful. Takano does it again, but this might be the best one yet. Thanks, Girls in Boxes.

It WAS a little hard to follow, but as someone who vastly prefers long hair - and has a best friend who is, if possible, even more zealous on the subject - it's great to finally get a story about hair getting longer, not being cut short, as is all too often the case.

(And yes, it is a lot of work, but that's another great thing about two girls together, they can help each other with hair care~)

Two girls having a lot of happy, mutually satisfying fun together. That will never not be a great thing to me.

Whoa. This was incredible. Most interesting and well-written yuri story I've read in a long time, and fantastic artwork that matches the tone and unique setting perfectly. Instant new favorite for me. Of course it may all come to grief later; seems like it may be heading for a tragic or at least disillusioned ending, but for now, let me hope.

Thank you VERY much for this, Yuri Project.

Unusual style for Aikatsu, certainly. Personally I prefer Ran/Sora. Aoi belongs with Ichigo.

Thanks, Akiba.

I somehow missed the latest chapter until now. Really entertaining. Their verbal fencing is very cleverly written. I have no expectations, but I am enjoying it quite a bit for now.

Manager-san, as awesome as you are, you let me down. I wanted you tell Sayaka to take action. That relationship of yours and Sensei's, that she is so envious of? It only happened because one of you stood up and took action. Maybe you both did. So to basically tell her to keep right on swallowing her feelings...I don't find that helpful advice.

I definitely want to see more from this mangaka. The art is so lovely.

Most certainly. I'm shocked at how little I can find about them, Manga Updates says they did some yaoi in 2001, but apart from that I'm struggling. Did they do more yuri?? Or is this oneshot from a issue of Hirari their sole release?

This happens so much, and it's always sad. An artist appears, does a handful of great works, or sometimes even just one, and is never heard from again.

Anyway, needless to say this was good. Although in some ways it was nothing exceptional for an adult yuri story, it is one of the few I've ever seen that even gently brings up the the issue of Japan's heavily alcoholic culture. As someone who has always had very negative opinions about alcohol, I appreciate this treatment of it, light though it may be. Hopefully Riko will be able to help Misaki with her problem.

Thanks Yuri Project.

"Even if you told me to stop, I wouldn't."

Meh.

She's clearly just teasing, especially with how diffident and sensitive to Shizuku's wishes she was being before they started.

To me this was just fine. Definitely a nice continuation that improved upon the (somewhat shaky) groundwork laid by the original. I really do enjoy Aoko's work.

Thanks Yuri Project.

Seems I'm on a roll of depressing stories today. Poor Fuyo. It seems like a hopeful end, but who knows what she's suffered already, and if she can ever fully recover from unnecessary psychiatric meddling.

I enjoyed it a lot, but it really does seem like there's no long-term future for this relationship. As young people do, Rise is running purely on an impulsive physical attraction, and has no thoughts or plans beyond that; even if she did, frankly, they couldn't be trusted at her age. There's also the fact that Machi, who is understandably a rather old-fashioned lady, will probably have many expectations of a relationship that Rise will be unable to fulfill.

I guess this sounds cynical, but the very realistic mindsets and interactions of both characters - for which I heartily compliment the author - lend themselves to that viewpoint. A continuation would definitely be welcome here, because as it is...

Thanks as always, Yuri Project.

After investigating a certain yuribait-and-switch manga (I won't say which one, to avoid causing people to make the mistake of seeking it out) and finding nothing but anger and disgust at the end, I needed some real yuri to cleanse myself. This fit the bill nicely. Thank you, Yuri Project.

What a surprise. From the title (and front page) I was expecting loveless PWP porn, but gave it a chance anyway. Glad I did, as it was vastly better than what I was expecting. Thanks very much, Akiba.
