Aahhh seeing Maki-chan and Hina feels so refreshing ~ (spotting Tsukuyo-chan and Kiri was nice too hehe)
Maki-chan really is adorable and strong, with such energy. Nice to see how students her age see her, and how she interacts with them
I like Mako, Mako looks really cool.

Wow I knew the art of the vn game was familiar!! And yea check the game out its beautiful and awesome.

Artist for vn is Peg :0
For the sequels, Hachi drew Side A, taking place a year after the events of the vn, and someone else drew side B, though I'm not sure what it's about

Side B is by Aya Fumio (Goodbye Castor), takes place like 3 years after the game, and is about girls who join a quiz club. It's cute but harder to follow since I don't know the characters as well.

I was so mad after finishing the game and seeing Ano and Nena single... I mean... THEY BELONG TOGETHER
But yeah Yuna is so cool that she can be paired up with anyone & I would be OK with that <3333

I think that Ano and Nena get closer in some of the audio dramas, but unsurprisingly I can't say specifically if they start a relationship together like that. Even if I had them I'd only understand every fifth word or so.

Yes the main character and Mako are new but any other major character and a few minor ones all are in the game. The routes, if you can call them that, all exist in the game's demo which you really need to play

Me yesterday: "I want to read a story with a girl who works in a coffee shop". Today, this shows up on the forum first page.

Madokami provides.

Indeed, very sweet. Much more upbeat than the angst tag had me thinking

Mmmmmmm, makes me want to make some chocolate-covered oranges. Mix in a little cinnamon, maybe some cloves, would probably not make the fiancée break out in tears but would probably taste pretty good.

This is a lot of fun even if like the main character I find it overwhelming. And oof, that line about borrowing talent. Damn.

It's a much better environment than Windows for running your own code. That's honestly the main reason I use it.

Go get it, Koa

Huh! I guess it is, given the date on it

At this rate chapter 10 will have full-on sex done as a drawing reference

Sakaki.

I figure this is as good a place as any to put it -- there's a kickstarter here for a documentary about Japan's LGBT&c. scene; not strictly yuri but definitely relevant to peoples' interests here. It's only got a couple days left and is almost -- but not quite -- at its funding goal. If I had some cash to spare I'd throw it at the project because it sounds interesting, but I don't really have a lot to spare right now.

I feel that this time the game is in reliable hands. That being thanks to one Meru Meru Bom Bom-chan.

The earth is saved!

Just what I needed, actually :D

Wait, did Hachi do the art for the vn, or the manga, and that's like different things/adaptations

Manga (volume 1), which focuses on characters not in the game. The VN art is by Peg (who also did art for the drama CDs and some small booklets that I assume are side stories called the 'recipe series'). Aya Fumio did a second volume of the manga which has no characters in common with the rest of the series due to being 3 years later in the timeline.

Crazy opinion: a potential third volume should try to get Niina Ryou for the art.

This year gave us Kindred Spirits, so no matter what else happens I'm going to call it Pretty Good

This was adorable and sounds like it was so much fun.

I really hope Morishima Akiko doesn't stop making manga, because I'll really miss work like this :(

I mean, obviously this one will still be around, but I want more

Someone linked to the raws about a month ago here. They also had volume 2, which has art by Aya Fumio.

I don't think it's too surprising, but then I'm definitely in the "sex is way better when preceded by emotional engagement" crowd

Reminds me of Aya Fumio a little

EDIT: Oh, this is the same PITO (@pito_sh) who draws a bunch of Idolmaster stuff on Pixiv. Great to have another chance to support an artist I've been following on that site since, like, forever

Frustrating but fair. Happy to have an easy way to support another stunning yuri artist.
