A bimonthly (it started out quarterly but then switched to bimonthly) yuri anthology that ran for 21 issues. We're doing some stories, and other groups are doing some others. We are also doing any tankoubon extras that relate to the series/one-shots we're doing from the anthology.


Volume 1:
In the first chapter of Morinaga Milk's The Secret Recipe, the president of the cooking club helps one of the members with a dilemma.
"Love Fool," by Hattori Mitsuru, is an extremely short one-shot about two girls playing around in the water.
Miyauchi Yuuka's "Camel" is about addiction.
"Koburiawase," by Ugawa Hiroki, is about a girl who goes to live with her late mother's family after WWII. (It's light on yuri, but the art is lovely.)
In Kigi Tatsumi's "Runner's High," a girl feels guilty about what she did to her rival.
Kiduki Akira and Satou Nanki's Ebisu-san and Hotei-san is about two office workers. In chapter 1, Hotei is not pleased when Ebisu is transferred to her branch.

In chapter 3 of Kiduki Akira and Satou Nanki's Ebisu-san and Hotei-san, Hotei ends up looking after Hana again and gets a surprise.
Hoshiai Hiro's "The Tale of the Wild Roses" is about a school play. Sorachi usually plays guys, but the club president wants her to play the female lead this time. When the president herself ends up playing opposite Sorachi, the two begin to grow closer. (This story takes place at the same school as "Sketch From the Heart.")
Ohtomo Megane's "Romance" is about a couple from the same school as "A Passing Story" and "Pink."
