Honestly never thought I would see the sequel translated! Looking forward to further shenanigans.

are the main characters even in a relationship for this to have the idiot couple tag?

They have a warriors bond

I'm really appreciating the layouts of this manga. In some manga, the panels will hug their subjects tightly because the mangaka is compensating for their lack of background skills. Or the page looks barren or otherwise nondescript. Here though, every page is filled with just the right amount of background detail. I'm never momentarily wondering where the characters are located because at least one panel will establish this.

In this particular chapter, I like how Ren is always subtly running away. She'll take off her jacket and walk up to her room, or put on her helmet and ride away. She doesn't face the other person when she's trying to leave the conversation, either. Really hammers home how unhomely her hometown feels. However, once Shimizu is mentioned, she doesn't run away lol. I love these fun little continuity tools that keep the page in motion.

What a fantastic first volume!

Thank you for the upload! This series means a lot to me.

A new translated chapter and dsr as the featured artist on the front page, great timing.

Anyone know what's going on with the author and/or this work?

Just got its last chapter last week, for a total of two volumes. Its a doozy lol

Gotta love it when the slow burn finally pays off. Thank you to Kirin-kun for getting the chapters translated into English so quickly for us. Seriously, weekly uploads for 3 years while translating other series too is no joke, even if its just 4 pages.

It's nice to see these two again. Feels like meeting an old friend for the first time in a while.

The Shiki residence is very lively lol

Wow, some really great panels this chapter. I love the focus on hands. Clasping, holding or letting go.

This manga is so fun to read. Love how overdramatic it is

It really gets how dramatic interpersonal difficulties can feel in middle school. These chapters are cleverly in Tachibana's (over)zealous perspective most of the time, so an objective frame of reference that could bring her feelings into ugly melodrama territory is obfuscated. If Tachibana wasn't the MC and alternatively was introduced from another character's perspective, she would've been annoying to deal with as a reader. Kind of like how Shiki was to many readers in the original run of 14-sai no Koi. It really shows how much the mangaka has evolved since then.

And now that I'm thinking about it, it's fun to see the similarities between Shiki at the beginning of 14-sai no Koi and Tachibana. Shiki had a lot more self-awareness, but Tachibana is less shrewd in her attempts to get closer to her crush. Maybe Tachibana can be this forward with her infatuation because she lacks that same awareness of her romantic feelings? I can't wait to see what happens when she finally achieves gay enlightenment lol. She's getting there! Slowly but surely!

I really love how much Tachibana is like a jealous puppy, desperate for attention from her owner. Her face lights up instantly from so little as a glance from Shiki.

now kiss

Very excited for this! I needed another OL yuri now that Still Sick is finished.

Some great art this chapter. The title page was very striking and the rest of the chapter kept that. Arata Iri is so good at conveying a character's multitude of emotions with just a single panel.

Also. that hug. I'm crying the the club right now

Happy birthday! 10 years went by in a flash.

Tomboy, height gap AND childhood friends? The planets have finally aligned. This is going to be a fun read.

Mentioning the heart stone gave me intense Girlfiriends nostalgia. Hell Nanoha and Chidori already look like Akko and Mari, this has got to be an intentional homage/reference to it.

Thanks for the update, really appreciate all of you for keeping this series going.

F

those were some pretty backgrounds, love the style.

very wholesome.

Now with 2000% more kissing?

hopefully lol

it's no surprise citrus got a sequel seeing how popular it is, I'm looking forward to see where this story goes.

looks promising, I like how angular Azuma's face is.

oh i see it now, i thought it was part of her nose lol
time to get my iq checked!

what does the seemingly random "drip" speech bubble mean? am i just dumb and missed something?

@katewarner that's what I assumed too. i love hidden gems like this pic on this site, its kinda refreshing

are we just gonna ignore that the landscape behind them is deteriorating? lol
