I must apologize for the fourth... fifth... how many times I have been late replying to your updates. Sometimes my life truly wants to boot me away from commenting fictions sometimes. Gomenasai! :bow:
Okay, so, I think... I have another one of those random outbursts that if I don't get it out of my system, I'll-
:deco: :deco: :deco: OMG, SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :deco: :deco: :deco:
...Or that could work. :sweatdrop: I literally fangirled and felt excited when I saw an update to this fiction a few days ago. Yet here I am, just reading it today. Oh the times I have sometimes... :doh:
Now, GOD, you made this usual angsty writer feel so fluffy that my heart is about to burst into many many hearts! And you have officially transformed me into a JuriYuu shipper. Those two girls are adorable together the more and more I think about them! And it's all thanks to your fiction. :thumbsup JuriYuu~ :deco:
But it's time to get serious with my commenting. :nervous
Glad to see some JuriYuu scenes inputted into the plot! And yes, I could see that there are 'explosions' in the chapter! (I see what you did there whether it was intentional or not, LOL) But anyway, I see that Yuko and Jurina are going to the firework festival. Sounds fun to attend to! Only time I've actually seen those sort of festival is via the anime world, haha. :lol: Plus, just to talk a bit outside of the fiction world in regard to fireworks, fireworks done in Florida at least (unsure about other areas) allow individuals themselves to buy the equipment and launch their own rather than watch others blow them up. So I wonder if in Japan, they allow others to blow them up on their own? But then again, since they're near the cities, I know for a fact that it's somewhat illegal to even carry them around unless you're from a company that blows them up. :nervous
Interesting fact about the cicada! Never knew about having many of their outer layer shedding and almost looking like cicada themselves. When Yuko stated that it reminded her of her mother, I couldn't help but feel a little bit sad for her there. But it did bring some good memories of her mother telling her such fact about these insects. :)
And I couldn't help but crack up when Yuko surprised Jurina from behind. Following right after her reaction was the two girls talking about cutting her bangs. I was grinning like an idiot when I read this line from the chapter:
Breaking into a wide, Cheshire-cat grin, Jurina averted her eyes from Yuko’s sharp gaze. “You really have a way with words. Anyway, back to the bangs. I thought that this hairstyle would make me look fresher and maybe a little more feminine. What do you think?”
“Juritan looks good with any hairstyle!”
“Okay, you can stop the sweet-talking now.” Jurina feigned annoyance and pouted, even though she was secretly chuffed.
And of course, this one too:
Yuko nodded with a toothy smile and casually took hold of the taller girl’s hand. “Let’s go check out the stalls! Don’t let go otherwise you’ll get lost in the crowd. I’d prefer to not have to request a lost child announcement,” she teased.
They're so cute together, LOL. :wub: Makes me go 'dawwwwwwww' and have my heart go 'doki doki!' literally. My smile was plastered onto my face like glue the more I read and saw the interactions between the two girls. It's just cute. I wish I had more words to say other than adorable, cute and sweet, I don't have that much vocabulary in store for me to describe just to say a word related to 'cute.' XD You really do have a good sense of humor, haha! And when the two girls were catching the goldfish, I can actually imagine Jurina getting frustrated with the game. Doesn't help for a fact that Yuko right next to her had caught one easily. :rofl: Oh you Jurina. As the squirrel had said... "I guess third time's the charm." :rofl:
And I see that there are some cute JuriYuu moments seen there during their watching of the firework show. Could Jurina be feeling something a bit more towards Yuko...? Or is that just my delusional shipper's goggles put into action and making me hallucinate the two together? :nervous So while the finale was going on, poor Juju when she explained the negative part of her great news from becoming a model for the calender! Jealously surely is something that we can't all avoid... It does happen to us no matter what. Whether it's something simple as finding a penny on a street to winning the lottery, it occurs within our life in all sorts of form. :sweatdrop: At least Yuko is there to cheer her up and listen to her! I see that she even invited Jurina over to her place! :cathappy:
When the two girls were finally all cleaned up and went to bed together, I see that Yuko reminded her that it was okay to not be strong once in a while. To shed a few tears is sometimes needed. But alas... Jurina has made up her mind that she wanted to be strong just like Yuko. :nervous Probably because she's always seen Yuko flashing her smile and never complaining at least out in the public or before her presence. The shorter girl is right though. In life, we can't always be strong. Holding in our emotion sometimes is like... how does that one saying go... "Holding in your emotion is like drinking poison" or something like that. She has a point that we will have appropriate times to break down. Besides, a few tears every now and then is actually healthy. Not to mention emptying out those emotions that's been bottled up for probably a good while. Nice to feel like a brand new bottle; empty with whatever negative emotions that were trapped underneath our exterior surface. :sweatdrop:
Psst! You got Yuko, Juju! Remember that you got the squirrel to talk to and be by your side, girl! :thumbsup And... this might just be me but when Yuko hugged Jurina to sleep, my heart went 'KABOOM!' :wub: It's SO CUTE! :cathappy:
I'm so glad to see an update to this series! Not to mention that it's quite a long one too! :w00t: Something about your fiction really draws me in... And honestly, this is one of the extremely few fictions that I am forced to slow down despite how hyper/excited I am to reading it in order to read and take in the information. :cathappy: That might be one of the factors that draws me in. :lol: Looking forward to more of the updates, possibly future OS/drabble if you ever decide to and I'll do my very best on my side here to write a JuriYuu OS in the near future! Many thanks to posting this up! :deco:
