1. "...you put all of these stamps on crooked."
2. "Hey, you..."
4. "Hime-chan, you wanna switch with me?"
5. "I'm fine."
6. "...shut up..."
7. "Get it together."
8. "We switched places because you were no good at using the craft knife, right?"
9. "My, I wonder who's going to be the blume this year?"
Loading…Loading…
2. Who is the Flower of Liebe Academy?
Loading…Loading…
1. "Well then, shall I explain it again?"
2. "We're literally making the voting cards for it right now."
3. "The information was on those hand-outs we got!"
4. "I never explained the blume selection process to you two?"
5. "Oh?"
6. "Blume..."
7. "What is that, again?"
8. Rather, they are the flower who serves as a symbol for this academy.
9. The blume does not have any official authority or influence like the members of a student council would.
10. Who embodies that creed more than anyone else?
11. "This is the first I'm hearing this..."
12. To be "Prim, proper, and lovely in all things,"
13. Is the creed of the students of liebe academy.
14. "The blume selection is how we select the flower of liebe academy!"
15. "That is "Die blume der liebe.""
1. "...but the votes of our salon visitors are a big part of this, so technically speaking the position's chosen from the salon team."
2. "Normally, the blume is selected from the whole student body..."
3. Yet again with the confusing exposition...
4. "That said..."
5. Don't use your confusing exposition to explain even more confusing exposition!!!
11. "...so it only makes sense that the coveted position of lady blume would be chosen from the members of the salon."
12. "...the salon team itself is already specially selected from out of the members of the whole student body..."
13. ""Starting next month we'll be holding a popularity contest in the café.""
14. "That's easier to understand, right?"
15. "Maybe we should explain it to hime-chan in terms of what it means for her job, first?"
16. "The full student body is comprised of roughly 450 students!"
17. "..."
18. "When you say the "Whole" student body, you're just referring to us five, aren't you...?"
19. "Um..."
1. "So let's let her learn that part at her own pace."
2. "Well, it seems like she's been having some trouble grasping the theme itself."
3. "It'll be trouble for hime-chan during the voting period if she doesn't get the themed parts, won't it?"
4. "You didn't mention the blume bit at all."
5. "Sumika-san! That explanation completely erases the themed parts."
6. "Yes!"
7. "I thought that's what was going on! I understand!"
9. "It's not a particularly dense read."
10. "This seems like a good opportunity for you to start reading from a maiden's heart."
11. "Don't worry, hime-chan, I'll read through them and explain it to you."
12. "Whisper whisper"
13. "Kanoko-chaaan?"
14. "..."
15. "There's another set on the shelf in the salon."
16. "You read these, too, okay kanoko?"
17. "..."
18. "!"
19. "..."
1. "I s-said I'll be okay...?"
2. "Wh... Wha?!"
3. "But make sure to ask if there's anything you don't understand, okay?"
4. "..."
5. "Make sure to ask me if there's anything you don't understand, okay?"
6. "Okay!"
7. "So I just have to read these books and study up on this blume thingy, right?"
8. "...okay!"
9. "Okay!"
10. "I should be fine, though."
11. "I can teach you, too... So be sure to ask!"
12. "Oh!"
13. "?"
14. "Sure."
15. "Hime-chan, you two can definitely play up your schwestern reconciliation, okay?!"
16. "I'm counting on you all in the salon again today!"
17. "Looks like it's almost time to open."
18. "Yes, ma'am!"
1. "Are you showing them to their seats?"
2. "Hello, onee-sama!"
3. "I can take them!"
4. I know! They're just like I heard they'd be!
5. It's this pair! They're the talk of the cafe!
6. "Understood, onee-sama!"
7. "It would be these two guests here."
8. "If you would, hime."
1. "Whenever you have decided on your order, please give me a call."
2. "Okay!"
3. "..."
4. "Yes, tachibana-senpai!"
5. "Shirasagi-san, could you take some more water to those four guests there?"
6. "Thank you, kanoko!"
7. "Hime-chan... You okay? Want me to take those?"
8. "Yes, onee-sama!"
9. "Hime... ...when you're finished with that, can you come escort the next party?"
1. "Aren't there way too many customers today?!"
2. "Guess you're right..."
3. "If you do need a break, now would be the time, since it's slowed down a little."
4. "You can take a breather if you need to."
5. "Good work, shirasagi-san. You doing okay?"
6. Time sure does fly when you're running back and forth like this...
7. The customers have been pouring in nonstop...
8. "Do you know why that is?"
9. "It is a bit odd, for the salon to be so packed when we don't even have any events going on."
10. "Good question."
11. "Why are we so busy today?"
1. "Onee-sama!"
2. "My, hime..."
3. "As busy as we are, you're still full of pep and working hard."
4. "Might there be anything that I can help you with?"
1. "You finally told me that you like me, onee-sama!"
2. "I'm just so happy!"
3. "?!"
4. "You wouldn't want to make trouble for me, would you?"
5. "You shouldn't say such things out loud..."
6. "Oh, hime...!"
7. "Mnghf?!"
1. "Whatever do you mean...?!"
2. "...?"
1. "Don't you think it's about time you had a schwester, too, sumika-san?"
2. "..."
3. "I'd prefer to watch over yano-chan and hime-chan's relationship from afar..."
4. "...and do you think that yano-chan could pull off being both elder sister and little sister? I dunno."
5. "Or, you could be kanoko-chan's older sister, which would give us two pairs for a nice balance."
6. "You could be mitsuki-san's older sister, and give both of your little sisters your guidance."
8. "Both of those options sound like trouble."
9. "Now now, mai-san..."
10. "..."
1. What's going on in that head of hers? She's a tough nut to crack...
2. ...that kanoko-chan.
3. "I don't think she even likes me."
4. "Well then, you should go with kanoko-chan."
5. "She hardly ever says a word to me."
6. "..."
7. "I'll answer it."
8. "The call's from hime-chan ..."
9. "Oh, over there! Someone dropped it."
11. "It's not mine."
12. "Hm?"
13. "Who's phone is ringing?"
14. "Oh, that must be kanoko-chan's."
1. "Could I get you to hold onto that until tomorrow?"
2. "Kanoko can't come to the phone, so um..."
3. "...ack!"
4. "..."
5. "Sure? I'll take good care of it."
6. "Umm... All right, I'll put kanoko on, then..."
7. "What?! Kanoko?"
8. "All righty!"
9. "Oh, tachibana-san..."
10. "Hey there, hime-chan?"
11. "This is tachibana."
12. "That's kanoko's phone. Where was it?"
13. "She left it in the back room."
15. "All right, see you in the salon tomorrow!"
16. "Yep, yep. No worries."
17. "Your wicked senpai just might take advantage of that...!"
18. "No passcode? How careless of you, kanoko!"
19. "Hm?"
20. "Like I said..."
21. "Kanoko won't even talk to me."
22. "Stop that."
23. "Oho."
24. "Well, that's a bother."
1. "It seems like such a waste to destroy it..."
2. "It's so cute..."
3. "But whatever, I'm gonna eat it all...!"
4. "It's shiny and beautiful..."
7. "It's delicious!"
8. "Mmmm~"
9. Today, Hime-chan is very chatty.
1. ...Hime always has far more to say than she usually does.
2. ...whenever it's just Hime-chan and me...
3. When we're together in the music room, or at times like this...
4. "Wow, I didn't know you could use loose leaf to steep black tea...!"
5. "You sure are lucky that your family gets to eat sweets like this..."
6. "We'd never have anything like this at my house...!"
7. "Mmf-hm!"
8. "If you'd like, I can have some more brought out."
9. "I'm glad!"
10. "Yeah!"
11. "I'd like that, too!"
12. "We should keep practicing piano at your house from now on!"
13. "I'm so glad I became friends with you, yano-san!"
14. "Besides, it's fun to hang out at such a fancy house!"
1. "I think it's pretty fun, too!"
2. "Right?"
3. "...getting to hang out with you..."
4. "Though, it is fun..."
5. "..."
6. "..."
7. "I'm so glad I became friends with you, yano-san!"
8. Hime-chan is a chatty one today.
9. "What was?"
10. "Was that the truth or a lie?"
11. "Hmf?"
12. "Just now, what was that?"
2. Thank you very much!
3. "We've made it! It's my first ever Volume 2!"
4. "Salutations! Miman here!"
5. The Naive Planning Stages of "Yuri Is My Job!"
6. "I'd like to talk a bit about that here."
7. "However, looking back on it, things haven't been proceeding entirely according to plan."
8. "I've been taking it one chapter at a time with the serialization, and suddenly, Volume 2 is here!"
9. This is Spot.
10. See Spot run.
11. Spot walks into a stick!
12. How interesting!
13. It's necessary to introduce the stick too!!!
14. For example...
17. "And then, there were the "necessary" points that I became aware of after the fact. It became even harder to make everything fit."
18. When I tried drawing out the thumbnails, there was a lot that wouldn't fit in the allotted number of pages.
22. First off, I vastly overestimated the amount of story that I could convey.
23. I put way too much in.
24. "Umm, umm, if I put in, "It's Yano!" then we have to touch on the elementary school episodes, too..."
25. "And I wanna get Kanoko in here also..."
32. "C'mon, c'mon..."
33. Originally, I tried to cram everything in Shift 1, all the way up to Mitsuki's true identity being Yano.
34. The most difficult example in this regard was Shift 1.
1. In other words, I'd been trying to cram the plot points that took me until Shift 6 to cover, all into a single chapter!
14. This was how I actually ended up drawing the contents of volume 1.
15. "Ugh, but this storyboard is so stuffed! If I submit this, I feel like it'll get rejected..."
16. "Even if it's hopeless, I'll just have people look at the storyboard the way it is now."
17. "Crap, if I take any longer, this whole project's gonna fall apart."
18. The storyboard ground to a halt before the serialization even started!!!
19. I had no idea what to do!
20. It was hopeless!
21. I couldn't see ahead! I was terrified!
22. My reckless planning made crafting the storyboard impossible!
25. "Take that!!!"
26. "..."
27. "Could work?"
28. "Why don't you cut it down?"
33. "...so please keep supporting me from here on out!!!"
34. I'll have to postpone all the other things that I want to draw until later, but I'm going to keep working hard on the serialization until I can draw all the stories...
35. Thus the story was restructured and Shift 1 was completed, and the plot points behind Volumes 1 and 2 were achieved.
36. "Until the day that we might meet again!"
40. "Thanks to that we were able to clearly portray my history with Mitsuki in Volume 2!"
1. Hime-chan's
2. Review! Café Liebe Operation Manual
3. "Carrying Food"
4. Obviously, in the restaurant business, following procedures is key. However, given that the concept of Liebe is a café being operated out of the visitor's salon at a private girls academy and staffed by the students, the service techniques can't seem too professional. That's no good.
5. The way that Hime-chan is currently holding her tray in both hands is a little dangerous, because it leaves her hands fully occupied, but Ayanokouji-sama is watching over her, so it's all right for her to include that sort of mannerism for now. She's still a first-year, after all.
6. So, in this case, doing the work of a café employee exactly right is not necessarily the goal. Even if you have a good handle on the techniques, it's important to maintain the guise of a student of Liebe Girls Academy, even at the cost of efficiency.
7. "Better to do a little at a time and make more trips."
8. "Even if you can manage it, this is no good."
