I always thought the ribbons were kept through all three years, so if they entered 1st year with blue ribbons they would keep them until they graduate, then the new 1st years would be the new blue-ribbon wearers. Am I wrong?
Edit: Seems that I'm wrong. There's an episode with Nozomi and Eli using blue ribbons instead of the green one from the 3rd years.

the school idol-industrial complex has to sell more uniform bits

I'm pretty certain the only one who refers to her as just "Nico" is Eli.

e: shit, I have Maki referring to her that way, so there's no consistency. Anyways, just "Nico" + casual language (doesn't come across in the TL) = Eli for sure.

From this page, the omake has a really similar name to this doujin. Could this doujin be like, a more detailed telling of the events of that day (how it lead to that)?
Cus, altho you don't need to read the two others for this one, it feels like a follow up in their relationship, like another sequel.
The omake for the "Bad at Seduction" one is like, after this one
I almost forgot about it, it's kinda nice to go back and read those pages again, as they take place directly after Stairway of Summer

Yeah, they all go together. Mezashi didn't draw them in chronological order, so the second chronologically has an omake for the third. The slight difference in name is because I'd yet to TL this one when I did that one, so I hadn't settled on the English title.

How the hell did I leave this open in a tab for over half a week without reading it?! Cute!

That was wonderful.

BTW YesCantaloupe, big thanks for scanlating this, but the page order on the download was very wrong for some reason.

shit. I batch renamed at the last minute and I guess it fucked everything up. Sorry, I'll double-check next time!

OT3 isn't usually my thing, but this was super cute.

I love super thirst Eli.

I don't love that end.

NicoMaki forever

much as I'd like to take credit, "stigmata" is a direct translation

My favorite part about this and the one before is that in each Yoshiko calls Maru "Zuramaru" up until they kiss, and thereafter "Hanamaru." It's too cute.

ｃｕｔｅ

I cannot believe I'm in rare pair hell just because of these two. Waah! They have to stop being cute!

I don't think this is going to be a rare pair for long.

I'm gonna punch this guy.

s/he's talking about Nico

yep, definitely Nico

Very good, but I would prefer fewer bestiality jokes.

same

Dammit, I'd seen this one:

pg 53 revently (recently)

and was just going to let it go, but these:

some errors
pg 27 peep on Nico in bath (in the bath)
pg 54 afriad (afraid)

make it too much. I'll fix it, thanks. Teach me to typeset in the wee hours of the morning.

Is page 59 missing or is page 60 supposed to be it? I get that 57 was that and page 58.

The numbering's messed up, but everything's there.

Fluff. Fluff is all I need. Fluff is all I need in yuri.

I loved the off-hand mention of Nico's mom's support. <3

I think that's Maki talking about her mother. The dialogue would be a bit confusing otherwise. Maki says she's free on Friday and then Nico asks her if they want to meet at her place.

Yes, Maki's mother. It's made explicit in the jp dialogue, I just cut names in favor of pronouns, because that's more natural in English. Probably should have left something in to make that clearer, sorry.

Oh whoa, this makes sense now, didn't notice when that happened. Thanks, new translators!

lol

Happy birthday, Nozomi!

Yes. Good.

"moderate"

I'm glad they're such good friends.
