That Red On Me
Very cute and innocent story of an 8th grader Suzuki who become friend with Towada after letting her try on a lipstic that change color with temperature. Suzuki gifted that lipstic to Towada when she realized that it is too late to gift that to Haru-senpai, a very popular senior that she has a crush on. From that day onward, Suzuki and Towada walked back together after school and get to talk more with each other. One day, Huru-senpai came up to Towada and Suzuki and they hang out at a fast food place together. Haru-senpai ended up trying the lipstick on. And when no one else is around at the table, Towada almost used the lipstick and as an indirect kiss with Haru-senpai. She was caught by Towada. Suzuki ran out from the place and felt ashame. In school, Suzuki and Towada became distance and have not spoken to each other. Towada thought that Suzuki just used her to get close to Haru-senpai. Towada gave her back the lipstick and said that Towada still has the chance of that indirect kiss wit Haru-senpai. But at the end, Suzuki realizes that she actually likes Towada and so to affirm this feeling, Suzuki kisses Towada. Hope to see more of how their relationship will evolve. Love the storyline...gentle and innocent love. Very cute drawing...especially of the kisses. Thank you.
The Frontier
Love this unique storyline of a singer idol, Hana Mikanaki, who went on a 2 years self-discovery journey and ended up thrown off the boat, washed up on an island, and being saved from a wild leopard by a tribal female named Ap. After Hana helped bandaged the injury on Ap's leg, Ap took Hana (an outsider) back to her village. Although they cannnot communicate with each others, Ap decided to take Hana as her wife and gave her the kiss as a part of sealing their bond for the engagement ceremony. Not knowing what is happening, Hana went along the motion, appeared in front of the whole village, sang her idol song, and went through the marriage ceremony. After realizing that she just married Ap, her manager and the guide found her in the village and interruped the ceremony. Hana realizes that she needs to go back to Japan to finalize her life as an idol for her fans so she can live with no regret. She gave Ap a kiss and promised to return in the future and be with Ap as her wife. As Hana is leaving the village with her manager and the guide, the villagers saw them as an outsiders and readied arms to attack them. Ap protected Hana, as her wife, and ensured that they left unharmed. Before Hana left the island, Ap catched up with them at the shoreline and spoke her native tongue while crying and told Hana that she loves her. Hana replied with same and promised to return. The plot is set...destined adventures to true love await. Would love to see Hana returns to the Island as promised and be with Ap. Thank you for this wonderful story. :)
