Ok – I lied. Part 2 will NOT be the continuation of Tessa’s yuri manga series! Don’t worry! They have not disappeared. I just couldn’t help but post her recommendation of one-shots first!! You MUST MUST check Nana and Hitomi! I’m going to go on and on about this manga after everyone has a chance of checking it out!
Now it’s all Tessa’s…
One-Shots
Nana calls Hitomi after a week of studying for an exam, but... (S K: Hitomi is hiding outside the window! LOL)
Balloons just fell from my ceiling celebrating the 60 billionth time I brought this up. This is actually 4 1-shots, but they continue the relationship of Nana and Hitomi. This is Morinaga Milk at her best. Of course you’ll notice the girls look just like Mari and Akko…(S K: main characters in Girl Friends – another AMAZING manga). These come from LIlilicious and Lililicious is awesome!
S K: From Cherries for Your Lips - this scene got a gasp from me!
Another Morinaga Milk story. This one is about a girl who harbors secret feelings for her best friend (imagine that) and strictly follows a rule of only touching her 3 times a day, so the friend never realizes her feelings. This one is really sad to me.
Really though, just read anything by Morinaga Milk (except maybe Sweet Lips).
A short but sad oneshot of unrequited love. This is another weakness of mine that only shows itself in oneshots. Rejection is always better in oneshots.
Seems like love to me! (Oh and the Yumi and Sachiko similarities can't be my own imagination)
I found this one shot hysterical. According to Yumi… er Mari, she and Sachiko… I mean Michika are in love with each other. Of course she has never actually spoken to her. Mari’s friends are all worried she’s a stalker.
Warning: This isn’t hentai, but page 14 comes very close, so you might want to skip that page.
Btw, Tessa had made some recommendations on a few Hentai manga – if you’re interested, just let me know and I’ll email you the links. I had a look and they’re a bit hot for my BLOG!!

The Nana and Hitomi series is one of my favorites too. :)
I think you meant “Cherries For Your Lips” for that second one: http://www.lililicious.net/projectDet.php?id=39
“Chocolate Kiss Kiss” is from the Nana and Hitomi series.
And when it comes to Morinaga’s work, you should also avoid “Mare” unless you have a stomach for a bit of gore and rape; some of her other early work is awfully loli, too.
“Chatting in Our Pajamas” is actually the first one-shot in a whole series, though the others deal more with the student-teacher relationship. The Japanese book is due out this month if anyone wants to buy it (ISBN: 4758070415).

The Nana and Hitomi story is cute. Takes me back down memory lane. ^_^ I also read Chocolate Kiss Kiss, but the others are new to me.
I was a bit confused when I read the manga because they looked so much like Mari and Akko I thought they were the same people. Is the Mari and Akko story finished?

Erin! Thank you for your comment!! You are so right. I have corrected this. Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve yet to go through each of these recommendations but thanks for letting us know on the latest update!

@SapphiredEclipse: I so agree! Everytime I read Milk Morinaga’s works, they all seem to resemble Mari and Akko! LOL No! Their story hasn’t finished yet! The next chapter is out on 22 February so I’m hoping that we’ll get another dose from MakiMaki in March. *HOPEFUL* I really like Morinaga’s art style but I’m not into her hentai-ish works. I read like two and they’re not my thing.

Lots of reading to do….hahaha
Yep – Morinaga should just stick to the Girl Friends and Nana x Hitomi series!!! MORE!!

@sleepy That I agree. Nana and Hitmoi itself has sufficient material to make a few books

Ahhh. Reading this again was so cute. :3
Is like look-a-like Mari’s always in her books? They even have the same personalities! Sorta.

hahahah Kallen, I know what you mean!! There always seem to be a “Mari” in her characters. But, overall, I think the best looking pairing is Mari and Akko – but it might be cos I’m so into that series at the moment! haha I added the picture above for “Cherries for Your Lips” – it’s such a pretty picture!! I like Milk Morinaga’s art style.
