On My Tiptoes in October

Here's another manga about Matsumoto and Nanao... "On My Tiptoes in October" by Kowo Kazuma was scanlated and released  Lililicious.

One night, Matsumoto and Nanao bumped into each other. While they were having a conversation, Matsumoto's friends called out for her. Nanao joined them and realized that there's a huge gap between her and Matsumoto. I still wonder why Nanao never called Matsumoto by her first name even though they're already going out with each other... The name Ritsuko is really nice, you know... ^^,) Hhmmm,???

One of Matsumoto's friend mentioned that "school nurse" sounds kind of sexy that shocked Nanao and immediately objected about Matsumoto being sexy... Matsumoto's facial expression (it's pretty sexy, in a way) changed and said that she's sexy. Matsumoto's friends burst out laughing then left leaving the two girls alone. Nanao asked Matsumoto again if she's sexy and she replied that she's sexy. Yup! No doubt about it... Matsumoto is really sexy here... I'm not just referring about her body... I'm referring to her look and smile...

Matsumoto gave the key to her apartment to Nanao. Then, she went to Matsumoto's apartment for the first time. While she was there, she thought of wanting to grow up immediately and put on some lipstick. Hhmm, you're still young Nanao so you don't need to put on some lipstick... Matsumoto came home drunk and suddenly hugged Nanao while telling her that she doesn't care if anything else is taken but she doesn't want anyone takes Nanao away from her. Well, they say that most of the people are honest when they are in the state of drunkenness... Because of the things that Nanao discovered about Matsumoto, she became more eager to grow up but at the same time, she realized that growing up is really hard.

Summer Window Syndrome

"Summer Window Syndrome" by Kowo Kazuma was scanlated and released by Lililicious. It's about a student-teacher romance. Just like Maple Love, it is also one of the mangas that first captured my attention...

Matsumoto's first impression of Nanao was pretty awful because of her bluntness and for not calling her sensei (means professor) but she still finds her cute sometimes...

Nanao noticed that Matsumoto is not wearing her engagement ring anymore so she asked Matsumoto immediately about it... Matsumoto explained that it's because they broke up and it's perfectly normal, she added. Then, Matsumoto mentioned Nanao's first name but Nanao immediately told her not to mention her first name again and left.

Matsumoto kept wondering why Nanao doesn't want to call her by her first name and what's more, she's more bothered for not being able to call her by her first name than her canceled engagement. Nanao suddenly appeared beside her and said,

"I like my first name."

"I let everyone else use it."

"But I can't let you, Matsumoto."

"It's like your voice grabs ahold of my heart..."

"It hurts."

Nanao still continued explaining things to Matsumoto but she was interrupted by her when she called Nanao's name again and again. Nanao finally snapped out and said,

"Because... Even if you fell in love with me, you wouldn't be serious about it...!!"

She fell silent when Matsumoto suddenly kissed her and said,

"... Then"

"Why don't you shut me up?"

Matsumoto suddenly collapsed... Why? It's not because of the tension going on between them but because she hadn't eaten yet ever since Nanao told her not to mention her name again... Pretty serious, huh... After she regain her consciousness, she told Nanao that she might feel better if she will give her a kiss. Before kissing Matsumoto, Nanao made sure that no one will see them. After a while, Nanao told Matsumoto (with a dead serious face) that she doesn't mind if they were just fooling around. Then, Matsumoto whispered in her ear,

"No Way."

"Not now that I've finally gotten serious about it."

Kyaaa~~ Nice one Matsumoto!!! XD
