Nako has run after Ren, but will they find a way to get together?
At the beginning of Poor Poor Lips (プアプアLIPS), Volume 3, nothing has changed. Except that with summer being so terribly hot, and them not owning a refrigerator or even a fan, much less an air conditioner, life is becoming intolerable.
Nako is poverty stricken, but endlessly positive and is a little worried that Ren spoiling her will lead to her no longer being able to live happily. Things come to a head when Ren invites Nako to accompany her to Nagoya for a crystal show.
Nako is a poverty-stricken 21 year-old in desperate need of a job. She applies for a job at a jewelry store. When shop owner Ren identifies herself as a lesbian, the competition for the position evaporates, leaving only Nako.
Short stories by Aoi Hana‘s creator Shimura Takako that explore sexuality and gender.
Aoi Hana is the story of four schoolgirls: Fumi, Akira, Yasuko and Kyouko and their various loves and friendships.
Volume 2 of Aoi Hana covers the big drama club, as both schools get together for their stage version of Wuthering Heights.
A-chan, her older brother, Fumi, Kyouko and two school friends are headed out to the country for a vacation at Kyouko’s family’s summer house in Aoi Hana, Volume 3.
Fumi may be gentle and quiet and a crybaby, but she is doing her best to be herself. It takes a lot of strength to do that at any age, but especially, especially in high school.
In Aoi Hana Volume 5, Fumi has made it past the third stage of coming out. And really, she’s not sure how she got there.
During summer vacation, the girls all head to a hot spring, accompanied by freshman Haru and, more notably, the teacher that Haru says is her sister’s lover.
If you have ever fallen in love with someone you know what I’m saying. “Love hurts” isn’t a joke, it’s a reality.
Graduation comes, and Fumi and Akira are forced to have the conversation that has been building between them for some time. Is there, in fact, a “them” to discuss?
In a school for a musical dramatroupe, emotions run high.
