BTW, a few month ago Morinaga said in her blog that she plans to continue with Nana and Hitomi next year. She said she can't handle doing two works at the same time, so Girl Friends will probably end in a few month. But yay, more Nana and Hitomi ^^.

Ah, so i'm guessing this'll end at volume 3/4? Seeing where the story is at now, that kinda works out fine i guess, though it all depends on what's going to happen after the events that took place in chapter 14.

I think it'll end at volume 3, though I'm just guessing. All I want is more Nana and Hitomi lol.

I actually prefer Nana and Hitomi than Girl Friends. And is one of the best romance manga I've ever read. As their relationship is full of sweet love. And most the end of each one shots is at least eye opening. My favorite quotes for each one shots. Spoiler for Even if we were not friends:
Spoiler for If I kiss Her Ring Finger:
Spoiler for Chocolate Kiss Kiss:
Spoiler for Wishing on the Moon:
Their love is so sweet <3 Edit: I forgot whose this quote from either Morinaga or Kurogane Ken "Cute girls should stick with cute girls". People do you agree? |

That quote is from Morinaga, and of course I agree. Although I don't need my yuri to be between extremely cute girls. For example I love Sasamekikoto, but Sumi, while really cool, is not your typical cute girl at all. Julia and Ran from Strawberry Shake Sweet are not the cutesy type either, but they're one of my favourite couples too.

When I first started reading this, I thought that Akko was the lesbian. I mean, she pushed Mari down and "mounted" her back in the early chapters when they were trying on clothes over at Akko's house. What was up with that? I'm genuinely confused because it seems as if the author decided to throw that in and then never touched on it again.

In the earlier chapters I was like "WTF? Why am I reading a manga about girls going shopping with heavy girl talks?" Those things are normal between best friends. This was on some of girlfriend scans by makimaki Take off the your yuri goggles prior to chapter 10 and you'll see that there was no yuri xD. Quote:

Hitomi&Nana stories ares one shot so the problem would often be solved before the last page, and therefore you would feel a taste of sweetness by the time you stop, no matter how dramatic it be during the story. But "Girls Friend" would accumulate Mari pains and leave awesome tensions and cliffhanger to readers to slowly...eh...enjoy them About quote, there are so many quotes that i can memorise in H&N without even trying; that i think i can translate 60-80% of Japanese version into English =D

I can't blame anyone for having thoughts such as Akko being the lesbian. Maybe just because it's rather rare to see someone act so nicely these days, though as chapters went on (at least to chapter 04) it kinda work itself into my head that Mari would be the one to first have these kind of feelings for another female.
& i don't think there has to be a reason why Akko wanted to be friends with her from the start. She can just be the very nice person we've seen her been in this series --- even though her backstory is still a little bit mysterious.

Dyed hair, flashy, aggressive but nice-beyond-believed.... those characteristics are belong to that specific stereotype in my dictionary But Akko ended up to be even more innocent than Mari.... Spoiler for Kiss:
But seriously, even without hint of romantic, i still enjoy the manga until Chapter 7 when MM dropped the bomb...

Oh man, that moment in Chapter 7 had me staring at my computer screen for quite some time!
Spoiler for ch. 7:
...which later gets topped with the event in Chapter 14! So what are the chances of this getting animated (of course, more volumes needs to be released first to get a substantial season run)?

Because manga such as Girl Friends, if was animated probably would not by big studio and end up either have changed storyline and plots to be "more anime"(and then mess up : e.g. Hayate) or will just like manga with some movements (e.g Pokemon -_-'). Adaptation from manga to anime is not easy , unless they put money, heart and mind into the production, it's hard to be success. Sad 1 min.... About that screen in Chapter 7, i was laughing like mad when i read it I tend to laugh uncontrollably when i find something awesome, because I was happy that i can be there to enjoy it ^^ I also really like Mari's reaction in the next page.....
