Through the Milky Way

I love Morinaga Milk's work centering around the Hitomi/Nana couple. It's as cute as Girl Friends with Mari and Akko.

My rating: 8/10
Reaction: I think these girls make a pretty big deal out of it about either or not going to the same school together.

My rating: 10/10
Reaction: This was just so cute and very sweet. Nana and Hitomi have been going out for quite some time now, but Nana was afraid that upon declaring her love to Hitomi first, she'd make herself vulnerable. Plus, she wanted to take things further with her. It was such a romantic gesture, really, kissing the ring finger as another way of saying "I love you". Sweet...


Chocolate Kiss Kiss by Morinaga Milk
About: Valentine's Day is coming up, bringing both sweet and sad memories for Nana and Hitomi.

My rating: 8/10
Reaction: I love this one-shot. This is definitely a nice read when you've enjoyed Girl Friends. Nana and Hitomi are close friends, with one of them having secret feelings for her friend but she couldn't express them until the right moment came: Valentine's Day.


Wishing on the Moon by Morinaga Milk
About: It's the final story in the series that began with "Even If We're Not Friends" and continued in "If I Kiss Her Ring Finger" and "Chocolate Kiss Kiss." Can Nana and Hitomi manage to balance their relationship with the other demands on their time?

My rating: 9/10
Reaction: Aww! Secret dates under the moon, stolen kisses when no one's watching, covertly holding hands together...simply sweet.


This takes place in the same setting as "Even if We're Not Friends," but centers around different characters.

A Kiss, Love and a Prince by Morinaga Milk
About: The main character is kissed by her sempai, who is playing opposite her in the school play, and freaks out because she always imagined her first kiss would be with a boy, preferably a dashing prince.
