So not eating, having a bad lifestyle and being depressed = being in shape.

Drawing manga. Don't forget drawing manga! That's the secret.
All that time you spend working out your drawing hand makes you healthy and fit.

Rip lol

I know, right!? This is how I envisioned the final page:

Himawari is too nice. WAY too nice. Bah.

Sakurako is still alive at the end of the chapter!?!?!?

I thought for sure this was going to end with a snapshot of Sakurako's grave.

Himawari's anger isn't nearly as violent as it should be—tsk, tsk.

If you're not sure just put them all in to be safe lo/ or just 2 and make a PEACE sign, pro lesbians can even snap their fingers in there.

Hehehe, I'm always happy to see a story about two girls doing it for the first time who had absolutely no clue what to do. It's way more realistic than those manga where the girls, who are supposed to be new at lesbian sex, go at it like experts with years of experience.

Hey... now that I think about it... if Kyou had a meltdown just because of fingering... what would have happened if Reika had asked for cunnilingus?

Takeuchi Naoko was right when she said masochism was the national kink of Japan.

(That, according to her, explained why the Japanese were crazy about schoolgirls in sexified sailor fuku uniforms who dished out oshioki to naughty guys... )

That's the tattoo she wanted? Weird choice...

Useless Lesbians no longer!

Skål!

That was the first thing I thought, too. Uselessness: defeated.

^ This. Also, please notice their footwear.

(It's crazy annoying when you spend a long time choosing the perfect pair of shoes for an occasion, and people don't seem to notice or care...)

Good art. Looks like an old photograph.

Aguantando la vela. ^_~

Also should be 8 years right?

Yeah I think it should be 8 years since graduation. Also yeah it sounds like their previous relationship was only casually sexual, but now as adults they're exploring beyond that.

Thinking that they could give up their bond so easily after this makes me sho shad.

As a gardener, yes Yamada does love crap!

aka fertilizer

But do people just stray away like that???

If you mean the ten-year gap in their relationship, I have to agree with you. It's difficult for me to accept the idea that they simply stopped their affair after graduating from high school.

There are many yuri manga where the two MCs are lovers through high school, break up at graduation because "it's time to stop playing games, become adults and find boyfriends" and then meet again ten years later and rekindle the flame. The Nighthawk Drifts About, RAWMG, Liberty (in a way) are all examples.

But these two girls are more the Kase x Yamada or Horikawa x Wakatsuki or Kasumi x Sakurako or Hinako x Orie type... I mean, the type that don't break up after graduating and keep seeing each other because they have plans to live together and maybe one day get married. At least, that's how I had them pegged.

Really, after all we have seen in chapter one, I just can't buy the idea that these two girls of all people let ten years that they could have spent together flow through their fingers just like that.

I would totes worship Tifa on my knees, too.

^ Lol, if we're talking about burning fires, the only thing besides Kase that can set Yamada's heart on fire is gardening!

Of course, this being Yamada, the raging flames in her heart are actually made of thousands of tiny two-leaved plants.

"If you were a guy, I might wanna date you too"

Excuse you, Kase Tomoka? Care to explain yourself here?

Hey, when you're putting up a het pretense it's not always easy keeping the pronouns straight.

Lol, I love these adorable dorks so much.

Al Bundy? Is that you!?

(That was my first thought when reading this part.)

Not to mention Ran's reasons are pretty ridiculous, no shit Mari isn't taking her seriously. Plus her smug self-assurance is based on fairly extensive firsthand experience of being very able to charm sensei's pants off as necessary. (A necessary reminder how her brain processes the whole "relationship" thing in the first place...)

Thanks for the reminder. Some people tend to forget these details.

Me, I wish I could recall if at some point we were told about their family situation. Are her parents married? Divorced? I don't remember at all.

What (or who) is JQ?

JQ is the translator. Take a look at the credits to learn more.

This is so self-indulgent, it's hilarious.

(Edit: I mean this in a good way)

I totally love this kind of self-indulgent fantasies.
Romantic literature has been writing about couples like them at least since the rise of dime novels in the 19th-century.
A Room for Two is another good example, in a less over-the-top way.

Wow this is made by the same person who made "About a College Girl Who Gets Picked Up at a Mixer by an Older Girl"?

The premise is.... slightly less fluffy than that.

JQ disagrees with you and swears this is cute and wholesome.

I'm the trusting kind. I say let's believe for now.

We need more Urasekai fanart. Fact.
