Really great story so far, thanks for the TL!

Is this series still going or complete? I'm just hoping it didn't get axed

It's continuing to be serialized monthly in Comic Yuri Hime. No chapter this month though because Sometime and Suou are busy with preparations for the Volume 2 release.

Thanks to the uploader for posting the oneshot. And glad to see that the story resonated with some folks. :3

If anyone's interested in seeing the characters in color, Pyaa's design note pages from the anthology are here:

Haruka & Rena

Yuuki (Shindou) & Sakura

In addition to what's already been said, I just want to mention how much I like the added context from the flashback anecdotes. Both characters were dealing with (and end up helping each other with) different kinds of social pressures that are put on girls - Haruka is unhappy with how she's pushed to present femininely and Rena is not comfortable with casual touching despite the assumption that skinship is normal - in ways that inform how they act in the present and ultimately resolve things.

Lovely. But does the title page say there’s a third one between this one and the first? I can’t seem to find it.

Yep, it's a little confusing though. To clarify, there's...

Sex: the original anthology oneshot introducing the characters
Flirt: a collection of short side stories/vignettes
Kiss: ongoing series (this is the 1st chapter) that moves the story forward

So the second book (Flirt) is essentially a bunch of bonus scenes. Hasn't been translated/uploaded yet AFAIK, I'll probably get around to it.
