1. Back in junior high...
2. I was an optimist in any situation.
4. But I was terrified of being in the spotlight.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "My older brother had a bunch of manga that he let me read. It was bad."
2. "But it's true!"
3. "Nerds really are the grossest of the gross!"
4. I had two friends I was close with.
5. Back then...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. I was ordinary back then.
2. "Ah ha ha..."
4. Misaki had good looks, was athletic, bright, outgoing, and good at expressing herself.
5. Kosaki was timid, like a small animal.
6. They were known at school as the "Saki-saki combo."
7. "Come on!"
8. "You feel the same, don't you, rei?"
9. "Huh? Hmm..."
10. I spent every single day desperately fighting.
11. "I dunno, I guess...?"
1. And people that deviate from that "Vibe" generally...
2. We're all extremely sensitive about different things...
3. The world of teenagers has an extremely naive vibe to it.
4. Meet a horrible fate.
5. "Hey! You're being judgmental, misaki-chan."
6. "Right, rei-chan?"
1. "Oh, it's n-nothing."
2. "What's the matter, rei-chan?"
3. Back then, I was the slightly strange one.
4. "Anyway..."
5. "Some girls are nerds too."
6. "They read those... What are they called? Boys' love manga?"
7. "What are you? An angel or some-thing?!"
8. "You're just sooo nice, kosaki!"
9. "Eeep!"
10. "Cut it out, misaki-chan!"
1. "Like katano over there!"
2. "Sorry, katano-san!"
3. "Misaki-chan!"
4. "What's up with her?"
5. "Creepy!"
1. To be honest... I didn't know much about katano.
2. She lived in a different world from mine.
3. She would always sit in a corner of the classroom and draw. She did everything on her own and never spent time with others.
1. "Sorry, but can you take these printouts to Katano's house?"
2. "Katano's out today with the flu."
3. WHY...
5. WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO GO OVER TO HER HOUSE...?
6. "I'VE COME BY TO DROP OFF SOME PRINTOUTS FOR HER..."
7. "OH! THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT!"
8. "YES?"
9. "I-I'M SHIKO-SAN'S CLASSMATE. MY NAME IS OHASHI."
10. "HELLO!"
1. "......"
2. "The front door is unlocked, so could you just come in and bring them to her yourself?"
3. "I'm very sorry, but I'm in the middle of cooking and can't step away."
4. "What?!"
5. "Oh! Her room's the farthest down the hall on the second floor."
6. "Fine by me. Saves me the trouble."
7. "I'll drop them off on her desk and beat it."
8. "I'm coming in, katano-san!"
9. "Is she asleep?"
1. "Whoa... Are all of these anime books and merch?"
2. And what do we have here...?
1. They're both girls, right...?
2. Did katano-san draw them herself?
3. A manga manuscript?
9. "Y..."
10. "D-d-d-d-did!"
11. "Y-you..."
12. "?!"
1. "She saw them! My creation has been seen by the creator!!"
2. "Th-the creator...? No, it can't be...!"
3. "The real thing is way too much!!"
5. "Is this kosaki and me?!"
6. "...... ......"
1. "I shouldn't have made you into a model without asking."
2. "It's okay."
3. "Uh...I'm sorry for peeking without asking."
4. But it's actually the opposite.
5. It sounds like misaki thinks I'm a yaoi fan...
6. "I know how it looks."
7. "My room's overflowing with female character goods and manga."
8. "I'm into..."
9. "Yuri manga."
1. "Do you think it's disgusting?"
2. "Sorry."
3. "Yuri...?"
4. "Basically, I get my kicks from reading lesbian content."
5. "Like when two girls are in love with each other."
6. "Really?!"
7. "Then I suppose it's true?!"
8. "I..."
9. "At all."
10. "I don't think it's disgusting..."
11. "What's true?"
1. "No!!"
2. "Mnngh!!"
3. "I mean... You like kosaki-san, don't you?"
4. "Not me! I'm not like that!"
5. "You don't have to hide it. I could tell from the look in your eyes, rei-chan."
6. "I'm not some kind of weirdo!"
1. "Or anything like that!"
2. "L-like, I-I'm not into girls..."
3. "Weirdo?"
4. "Is it weird?"
5. "Isn't anyone free to like whomever they like?"
6. "Huh...?"
7. "If the individual herself is experiencing rejection, then we have to start with... This."
8. "Hello?! Katano-san?"
9. "Hmm, what to do...?"
10. "Here."
11. "Try reading it, if you want."
1. "Let me know what you think after you read it!"
2. "I'm sure it will help you relax in a lot of ways."
4. Whoa. But there really are nothing but girls on the cover...
5. This is a novel?
1. "......"
2. "Reiii! Time to eat!"
3. "Huh?! What?! Are they going to kiss?"
4. "Whoa. Oh boy."
1. "K-k-katano-san?!"
2. "But you look better than I expected."
3. "I heard you were out with a cold."
4. "Huh...?"
5. "Sis!"
6. "You have a visitor!"
1. "Feminine things just don't really suit me."
2. "There isn't even a single stuffed animal in here."
3. "This is... A pretty plain room."
4. "Please don't compare my room to yours!"
5. "Oh? Are you sure that's the tone you want to take with me?"
6. "Today's sunday, isn't it?"
7. "Anyway, what are you here for?"
8. "I came over to give you the sequel..."
9. "Since I figured you were going to be done with the book I lent you."
10. "......!!"
1. "Isn't it? Prayer-love is sublime."
2. "Was really good! I found it interesting."
3. "So, like! Between prayer and love..."
4. "Oops..."
5. "The main character is a christian. I love that setup! And that she's caught between her faith and her feelings for another girl seems totally feasible! It makes her sympathetic and it really delves into her beliefs!"
6. "This was my first time ever reading a yuri novel, but it was amazing!"
7. "Ah ha ha ha ha!"
8. "Sorry. I didn't mean to blab on and on..."
9. "I didn't know you could make expressions like that, rei-san."
1. Has a power within her that I lack.
2. "You look way better like this than with an insincere smile plastered on your face."
3. She doesn't care about what others may think.
4. "I wish you'd show this side of yourself more."
5. She boldly states what she likes and that's that.
6. Katano-san...
7. "Now you're dissing me?!"
8. "What?!"
9. "You're kinda out there, katano-san."
1. "See ya!"
2. "I hope your cold gets better."
3. "Thank you, shiko-san."
4. "And..."
5. "Thanks."
6. "Stand still for a minute."
7. "What?!"
8. "Huh?!"
9. "This is a prayer-love hairpin that came as a new volume perk."
10. "You can use it in your everyday life without someone clocking you as a fan."
11. "It's not nerdy at all."
12. "You can have it."
1. "It looks good on you!"
2. It was all thanks to shiko-san.
1. I was sure...
2. That I'd found the path forward to meet my queerness head-on.
3. I had feelings for kosaki.
4. Once I admitted it to myself, I felt so much lighter.
5. I can't wait to see kosaki!
6. I want to see her.
7. "Good morning, kosaki...!"
1. What...?
2. "Hey, kosaki?"
3. "It's really rare to catch a cold this time of year, isn't it?"
4. "Y-yes."
1. "What?!"
2. "Seriously? Two girls?!"
3. "But I never thought ohashi played for the same team as well."
4. "I mean, katano's always drawing those sexy lesbian manga."
5. "Hey, didn't katano also recently have a cold too?"
6. "Maybe..."
7. "They did something to transfer it?"
8. "I'm telling you to stop being stupid."
9. "I never ever said anything of--"
10. "What are you saying, misaki?!"
11. "Look."
12. "I've seen what can't be unseen."
1. "I watched as katano came out of your house, rei."
