I kept reading it right to left at first and the text was really really tiny so I had to zoom in the page like 10x... but this was really cute. The brunette is SO like me when I try to talk to a pretty girl.

Not sure if you tried it already or not, but the "Resize" button at top right corner does make the pages bigger for this story. Hope that helps.

Yeah, that look that was exchanged between the step-mom and Tomo-san was interesting. Also, on page 16 when Tomo accidentally hugged Ai-chan, she said "Huh, my mistake." I think it means that she had wanted to hug someone close to her subconsciously, and to me the most likely person would have been the step-mom since she was surprised Ai-chan was there. This could have all been my speculation, and that I'm reading into it too much.

Maybe it's me but I think Tomo-san might have a crush on her step-mom. Don't ask me why, I can't really explain it, it's just this feeling I get from that smidgen of interaction between them.
