the employee lady is Chihiro, the assistant in Cinderella Girls

I wonder why "hazukashi" wasn't translated?

because it was in roman characters originally and I didn't notice it

Pretty much. Also Riko's image color is sakura pink.

I definitely interpret this as remembering rather than wishful thinking, especially given Kougi's other works. Either way, it's hot.

I can never take doujins like this seriously. Probably because of the corny monologues.

That's kind of the charm of this one for me. Maru's really, really worked up over the classic teenager problems of sex and love, but she's read too much, and so she has a weird idea of what love is that the real thing apparently can't measure up to and she overthinks everything and turns her guilt into a corny monologue. Or at least, that's my interpretation of it.

nothing dates fanart like meme attire

yassss

On Windows, you press ALT and then type in the codepoint with the numpad. So, in this case, it's ALT+0181.

or alt+230

whoa! cute!

Crazy cute characters doing crazy cute things is crazy cute

Good cute yes <3

oh no Maru... oh no Dia... oh no...

Was it actually bath-hitler in japanese?

It's a creative translation, and a good one.

what a cute aquarium date :3

I think there's something of an assumption that if you're willing to buy a doujinshi, in Japanese, off a Japanese website that likely only ships to Japan, you're probably familiar enough with pixiv to look through the artist's works for the preview for whichever douj and find the link to Toranoana or Melon Books or whatever. And the artist's page here almost always links their pixiv (if they have one) or, failing that, it's usually on the publishing info page which is almost always left in the scans. For non-doujin manga, googling or checking baka updates manga, as Faust suggests, is trivial.

Really, if you're willing to jump through the hoops to buy JP manga, the amount of effort it would take you to find the info you're wanting is trivial in comparison.

so cute! I <3 Chika

And I agree what's been said, what really makes this douj work is how well it establishes why Kotori is into Nico. I bought it for the amazing cover art (well, and I love this artist's art in general), but I was quite surprised and really pleased with how great the story is.

and the hair oh my God!

There was an EliMaki only event back at the beginning of June. I love that LL is popular enough that even such out there ships get pretty ample representation, even if most of it doesn't make it to the EN fandom.
