A sweet school story from the mangaka of Sweet 16.
Fumi and Akira were best friends when they were little, with Akira always looking after the crybaby Fumi, but that all ended when Fumi's family moved away. Several years later, Fumi's family returned, and she and Akira happened to bump into each other on their way to school. They became friends again, quickly slipping back into old patterns. Shortly after, Fumi began dating a cool, attractive upperclassman who, coincidentally enough, had ties to Akira's current school, the prestigious Fujigaya Girls' Academy.

We've been working from magazine scans starting with chapter 26. New chapters come out in Japan once every two months. We've started buying the magazine ourselves now that scans are no longer appearing from other sources.
We'll still be doing the volume extras as the volumes come out (generally once a year, in late winter or early spring), as always. We may also decide to re-edit the magazine chapters from volume scans.

Check out Crunchyroll for legit, English-subtitled streaming of the anime adaptation (though it's limited by region, unfortunately).

A note for French speakers: Asuka is putting out a commercial French-language edition of this manga.
