That's probably the first KotoUmi doujin I've seen that is not hentai.

About damn time!

Smooth Seo-la, smooth. Using scene from a film to get a bit more intimate with No-Rae. Looks like the gesture affected No-Rae a lot... DAMN! They were so close! Damn you Oppa!

Since it's Valentine's day next week, they might finally get together then. But if no, then 100% during their stay at No-Rae's family house.

There is simply no running around any more if they get to spend another night or two together, alone.

And just few months back everyone were saying there is not enough Seo-la centred chapters... We all know that No-Rae likes Seo-la a lot like being protective in a taxi and etc. No need for another monologue chapter, we need action.

So No-Rae talking in her sleep happened before Seo-la came in? And now Seo-la broke down in front of Enah...

Enah is a smart woman, she must have put 2 and 2 together. If she won't give them a push, they won't move forward...

There has to be a reason for 2 night trip, I'm waiting for the 2nd night when things are finally clear.

Since they are there for 3 days and 2 nights, I never expected anything big to happen until last night, before they go back. So for several chapters, there isn't much to look forward to if their cozy moments is what you are after.

This was really nice, Kanbayashi Makoto does not disappoint once again^^

Chinatsu/Akari do need more exposure.

Hope to see more translations from this artist in the future^^

Didn't get a chance to comment on previous chapter, but damn I feel bad for him. I went through exactly same thing, knee injury that stopped my sport career and dreams once and for all, hurts like hell emotionally. Been 10 years, still can't get over it completely =(
Poor guy... hopefully he did find an alternative to ease the pain.

New chapter... looks like flashbacks are over and we are in a present again. Everyone's awaited Seo-la/No-Rae interaction. I'm guessing at the end No-Rae said that she moved on so upcoming chapters should be promising =P

Though those towels... or whatever they are... so weird...

I come to the thread to read comments and all I see is....

Will you guys stop moaning? Is it that hard to handle and accept that No-Rae dated someone else, that she had a past? We all know who the end game couple will be, stop complaining like it's the end of the world.

Everyone demanded a No-Rae based arc to find out her past and now that the arc only just started you are unhappy? Make up your mind.

This arc only lasted for like 3 chapters and Seo-la/No-Rae interacted just last chapter. Stop acting like it's been months ago.

Stop your hetero hatred and enjoy the ride that will lead to great set up for our yuri.

The guy appears lovely, nice and friendly. He does not deserve all this hatred just cause he is a guy in a yuri project.

I don't think I have seen a single, decent translated KotoUmi doujin that was not porn.

Thankfully this one was actually good and don't go off into unknown OOC lands.

Since when not being canon mattered? There are 100s of ships on this site that are not canon. Whole Love Live! cast for example. However, it never stopped people from shipping so why the hell do I keep seeing same sort of argument on every Hibike thread?

Love Live is all about baiting and it had even less gayness than RumiKo ship in anime, no one complains and starts canon or not debates there so why here? What's so bad about RumiKo that even on yuri site we have the same debate?

Her saving those pictures on someone else's facebook... that's interesting. :/

agreed.. I guess it was a convenient way to have us see the old photos of them, but it seems.. awkward? Don't know if that's the right way to explain it, but does anyone really do that?

I still have photos of my ex on facebook. Personally don't get whole removal thing. It won't change the past. But then again we did end it on good note and are still good friends.

Going by this chapter, they didn't break up on bad terms either.

I have suspicion that he has some serious health problems or something and for her sake, decided to break it off.

Seo-la was real jealous. Hopeful it will lead to something good :)

I really wanna see the 3rd book, any idea when it might get translated? Or where I could fin a raw?

How did I miss it? Wish there was more with them and Honoka/Tsubasa

Tsubasa as a secret biggest fan is the best.

Ssambe really needs to work on character designs, 90% of them look identical. I was sure it was Seo-la in this chapter, looks like it wasn't.

Looks like Eri got over her darkness fright.

And Kotori might be onto something XD

Yay it's translated! Waiting for the rest 9in the future^^

Thank you!

@takachi

I'm guessing you've never met a sarcastic, honest person who does not sugar coat their words. We should meet, I would be your villain number one cause I'm Ji-Hwan in female skin.

The fact that he told her to "change her ways" means this is not the first time something like this happened. Not to such extremes, but some sort of conflicts 100% happened before and not once. Ji-Hwan told her a harsh truth she had to face ages ago. If she would not, next time would not be so lucky.

Telling her "Oh you poor thing" would do Seo-la no good. It will comfort her for five minutes, then she messes up again and dies. Real friends are not scared to tell the truth to people they care about if it will help them in the future to come. What Ji-Hwan told her, was a life saving advice, not some 5 minute worth pity.

If you can't tell a truth to a friend when they are clearly doing something wrong, you are not friends.

Me and my friends bicker all the time, call each other names and so on. One of my friends hates Frozen with passion so I constantly make Frozen related jokes. Guess what? We still hang out together, have fun and laugh. No forcing, he approaches me himself and sometimes replies in kind by mocking me for my shit 3D modelling skills. Are we offended? NOPE! We always have a good laugh together.

There is a big difference between mocking a non sarcastic person and a similar in kind. These two are similar.

It's only hurtful if other person does not understand sarcasm or is not similar in character. These two live on sarcasm, they fully understand each other. That's why they say things they do and still interact with each other and are not offended. Because there was nothing offending in those words.

It might not have been what Seo-la wanted to hear, but it defiantly was what she needed to hear.

@Halmoni

Tell me about it, happens so often -_-

^Well Sakurako is her sister. Usually you hit siblings for being silly, not their partners.

He likes to tease Seo-la so... I tease people all the time too in very similar way, especially if I've known them for a while. Does not mean I have bad intentions and these two have known each other for years and been close friends. Not once Seo-la seemed actually hurt by his words and if she was, she would've stopped talking to him years ago.

Just cause two people are in love with one person, does not mean one of them is an ass-hole. And just cause he got rejected does not mean he will automaticly stop liking her. Feelings will linger for quiet a while and it's not like he over stepped any lines since rejection.

I can't really call that a promise, I have 100s of promises like that. They never ever pop up again.

True but just cause a person likes teasing people and happens to be rejected, does not make them antagonists either.

And from personal preference I would much rather avoid another "bad" male character. It's way too cliche and unnatural. There are 3 things that always ruined yuri manga/shows for me.
1) Everyone is gay
2) Just sex and fanservice
3) All men are evil

So far Fluttering Feelings avoided first 2, no need to include the 3rd one either.

The way No-Rae stammered, I thought it was her who lied and Hye-kyung never even planned to come...but then again not sure if No-Rae would do something like that, she is pretty honest.

Looks like Seo-la had a moment of jealousy when her brother saw the photos. She should set him up with Hye-kyung^^

And poor dad.

I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't trust Ji-hwan. He gave up on No-rae too easily and didn't even question the probable homosexual relationship between her and Seol-a. Why's that? The whole time he was positioned as an antagonist character, wasn't he? Then how come did he turn out to become such a nice chap all of a sudden? Does he really plan to get those two together and get no benefits out of it for himself? Or do I really draw him as being too much of a monster in my mind?

Did I miss something but since when was he an antagonist. I can't remember a single scene with him doing something bad to any of the girls.

Not everyone is deaf and can't understand word "no".

Well that was disappointing. Anyone knows if author plans to do any more in the future?

No-Rae already rejected him, there is no way she will suddenly accept his love now of all times.

That was a simple friendly hug on her part. He most likely said that he still loves her and will be always there for her if needed and she said thanks.

About time there was decent doujin with these two! Really happy now^^

Makes sense to me... I always preferred MakiRin or HonoMaki over NicoMaki since in season 1 those two pairings had far more interactions. So if RinMaki happens, that leaves NicoHanayo what essentially also could make sense considering that both are idol fans and have things in common so they could fangirl together =P

I liked the interactions here, seemed quiet in character. Hope to see the rest translated. Or at least raws if anyone knows where to find them.
