i don't care how many times people use rooftop scenes to bring out the introspection in a character, it tugs at my heartstrings everytime. especially when it's someone like Honoka, finally putting her brain to some good use! and when nozomi and nico come back to the roof later, it's even better because it's romantic.
this is a nozonico doujin though, and i have to say one more time how damn awkward everything is. like when nico desperately tries to play off the fact that she snapped at nozomi for, well, pretty much nothing. it's painfully realistic - feelings aren't ever that straightforward or easy to sort out. i love it.
kanbayashi makoto is great at drawing these really pained faces - i can feel the angst through my computer screen and it always leaves me wanting more.
