Some thoughts in spoiler space below.
Spoiler for Short Husky and Medley review, some spoilers:
Not surprisingly, it being non-fiction meant that it lacked the "Oh
come on!" nature of many anime/manga romances (of all sexual orientations) where I facepalm over one half of the pairing
somehow not getting the romantic/sexual implications of the actions/words of the other half of the pairing.
In other words, this story had a much more natural, well-paced, and realistic romance development than most that I've read or seen (but then, that is to be expected, isn't it?
)
Somewhat humorously, though, if I had thought this was fiction, I would have also observed:
1. Wow, they really went to town on the whole perfect top-of-the-class girl trope here, eh?
2. This pair has a very strong seme and uke thing going on.
3. Nice "plot twist" at the end by having the uke become the sexual aggressor.
Feels kind of funny to think that about
real life people.
Guess this is a case where reality reflects fiction to a degree.
Overall, an excellent read. Thanks again, jedinat!

These chapters continue the story of Nana and Hitomi. It's Morinaga at her best, I'd say.

And just read these two as well. Thanks a lot, Kazu-kun!
Darn, why doesn't any of this have anime adaptions?
Two very nice chapters. Good work by Morinaga to say the least.
Thanks to everybody for their recommendations. Still looking for as many as possible. Will post my thoughts on whatever I check out based on those recommendations.
