Um… -3 I want to apologize for before. -4 sfx- Depressed Hey! It’s like I’m the one picking on her! ###bold and italicize “I’m” -5 It’s fine. I’m not really mad.

Or did she really loose some of her memory? I haven’t been brave enough to ask, and things have just continued for 10 years. -5 Aoi-sama? -6 It’s just… I’m scared of asking after all this time.

People… -7 When people observe things they take for granted They lose awareness of them. And then they create pre-conceived notions without ever being aware of that. And the larger the scale of time and space, the more tiny changes become imperceptible. —58 -1 Just what… are you trying to sayL -2 Aoi-sama Aren’t you overlooking something? About how change effects me? -3 Your changes…? -4 There’s no way… -5 I’d miss something like that… I mean I’m always looking at her. -7 You haven’t changed at all.

You were so pure that you never doubted that I wasn’t human. It became difficult to tell you that I was made of electronics and an artificial brain. -4 It can’t be. -5 A robot can never harm their master. That is an absolute rule. -6 What with this? This is… -7 Why didn’t you tell me earlier? -8 I’m sorry, I… -9 Why?! —62 -1 If I knew you were a robot earlier, Nanao, I would have never… I would have never… -2 Hah? -3 That I would have never fallen in love with her? -4 No way. -5 Even if I had known I’m sure I would have ###nice lilies in the background -6 sfx- Touch sfx- Jerk -7 Are you scared? —63 -1 I… can never be your bride for as long as you live. -2 But as long as you wish it I will always be by your side.

I mean you don’t have to avoid her anymore. -4 Wait a sec… -5 You mean… You haven’t heard anything from her? —109 -1 hw- Thank you very much Kano! -3 Asuka-san…?! -4 Ah… Um… What is the nature of your business? sfx- Huff Huff -5 Is it true you’re quitting? —110 -1 I’m back from break! -2 Ah, okay! -4 Asuka-chan, just for a sec… -5 Um… It’s true I’m quitting. -6 Ah, but it’s not your fault, Asuka-san! It’s just that my contract is up. I’m a temp worker. hw- Temp… —111 -1 But when we ran into each other… -2 You ran away as soon as you saw me, right? And then other people always came in your place. -3 sfx- Sniff I just thought… You didn’t even want to see my face. -4 That’s…! -5 It’s not like that at all, ok? I love you so much I want to stare at your face forever. Asuka-chan… sfx- Grab —112 -1 Bonk -2 I’m sorry… -3 If I could only manage both love and work, then we wouldn’t have to suffer like this. -4 Just what are we to do? If we go out, I want to see you so much I end up quivering at work. sfx- Mmmmmm And if we go for it, we’ll never go to work if we’re in the same room. -5 Hm? —113 -2 I’m going out to make the rounds, Kano! -3 Have a good one, Asuka-san! -5 I see. So they decided to work at the same company. Are you sure you’re ok with this, chief? Having an idiot couple like this in the company? -6 Their work performance goes up like this. —115 ### this story has been scanlated and is on dynasty —133 ### this story has been scanlated and is on dynasty —156 -1 Yuri you know you shouldn’t do —157 -1 sfx- Ka-cha I’m home! -2 Too bad… You’re mother just came home. sfx- Haah -3 Let’s finish here. If your tutor was busted giving out rewards like this, it would be trouble, hm? Sensei… sfx- Clack -4 W… Wait a sec… Help me with this problem, just a bit more…? -5 Ah, I need to stop. To stop this fast. -6 Geez… Well, if you solve it, ok? sfx- Shiver Shiver A bad, bad tutor who teaches more than academics and a pure student. But maybe it’s the tutor who gets more excited about thinking about how improper it is? —158 -1 Vampire Yuri —159 -1 Sigh I’m hungry… I want to drink the blood of a young, cute girl! -2 I’m at my limit too! I want to drink the blood of a sexy, big breasted woman! -3 Stare… -4 hw- This sucks… sfx- Siiiiigh If only she wasn’t a vampire… hw- But I’ll never admit it If only she was human… yuri about two unsatisfied vampires. If they would secretly choose human prey that looks like the other and fake drinking blood from each other, it would be hot. —160 -1 Age Gap Yuri —161 -1 There we go. -2 Shibasaki-san… You’ve been getting a lot of injuries lately. You’ll ruin your pretty hands. -3 I’m practicing making bento for the person I love. -4 Oh, that’s so cute! They must be so happy. No, I think it likely is a problem for them. -5 You can’t mean that… sfx- Whish -6 That person… happens to be a teacher… -7 She knows that the other person can’t take her seriously and will be troubled, but I think it’s cute when her love wins out. —163 -1 Until You’re Satisfied My girlfriend is eight years younger. Nurse’s Office -2 sfx- Slide Yuuri? sxf- Glance Are you here? -3 Shizuka-sensei! -4 sfx- Leans out Here I am! —164 -1 It’s been six months since I confessed. -2 I love you. -3 Yuuri’s one of the students who often comes to the nurses office. Even thought I knew I shouldn’t I got captivated by her we decided to start going out. -4 Of course there are all sorts of obstacles for a teacher/student couple. -5 Having to meet secretly. Not being able to tell anyone we’re dating. -6 Our secret relationship. —165 -3 Ah, right. Yuuri, next weekend is your birthday, yeah? -4 Let’s celebrate. The two of us. Really?! -5 Where would you like to go? I’ll take you where ever you’d like. -6 Ok, then… —166 -1 I want to stay over at your place, Sensei. -2 Stay over…? sfx- Fantasizing -3 Yu… Yuuri… Lemme just say… I’m not going to do that until you graduate, ok? Wha? sfx- Arrested for sexual crimes -4 I mean, my home is close to school, it would be dangerous if anyone saw us. —167 -1 I see… Yeah, that’s right. -3 But at times like these, I always think… I’m sorry, okay…? -4 If she were with someone her own age… She wouldn’t have to be afraid of other people’s gazes, and could celebrate her birthday freely. It’s not fair to make her worry like this… -5 sfx- Clasp Sensei… —168 -2 Yuu… sfx- Slide -3 Twitch -4 Ah… No, we can’t…! -5 Yuuri… —169 -1 Well, for now I’ll be satisfied with this. -2 Wha…? -3 A hickey? It’s my birthday present! -4 But actually, I wanted one from you, Sensei. -5 Save the date for me next year? —170 -1 Geez… Next year, and the year after that… I’ll always, always keep the date open for you. -2 It’s a year until she graduates. We can’t erase the difference in our ages, but… When I’m with her… just for one moment… -3 But look, Yuuri… -4 I’m happy, but you went a bit overboard… This is the Nurse’s Office… ###bold and italicize “is” It’s how I made my reservation! Someone’s gonna notice eventually. —171 -1 Afterward Harukawa Thank you so much for reading “After Sunrise”. I’m Harukawa Haru. The kanji for my name is read “Haru” not “You”. -2 This volume collects one-shots drawn for this volume and well as doujinshi I have drawn in the past. Dig out all your old work! Editor ###box sfx- Remote meeting They’re so old! Is it really ok? sfx- Gyaaaaa I had many old works I dug out. However, if you enjoyed them, that would make me happy. -3 “When your Night Ends” hw- I think Ritsu-san is the oldest character. The topic of a prostitute and a widow would seems like a ball of pent up desire, but I wanted to draw a more pure sort of sexual congress. Well, that’s how this story came to be. As far as the plot progression goes, Ritsu-san is the protagonist. In order to draw the story, I did some research on lesbian prostitutes, and it seems that you can have them simply sleep next to you as well. I really like Ritsu-san as a character. -4 “Masking Lady” This was the first yuri story for this volume that I drew. Since it was, I went for maximum impact with the horse mask but ended up worrying if “is this really ok in yuri manga?”. The mask in the title refers both to the costume mask and also the masking process used in illustration. *Masking is a technique to hide/protect areas of artwork. —172 -1 “Lose Control” Doujin ###circle This one is old! This story is the oldest one in the whole volume. It was back when I just started drawing manga. Going back and reading it now, it seems crude and I’m kinda embarrassed by it, but I can also see where I have grown too. About 2014? -2 “Pink Strawberry” Doujin ###circle This one’s about cheating. I did a lot of revision work on it. Concerning the ending, whether she intentionally accepted a relationship with Ryouko, or was it simply because she was lonely is up to interpretation. -3 Chocolat De Bonheur Doujin ###circle Idiot couples are cute. sfx- Chew Chew -4 “Touko-san Can’t Take Care Of The House. Original.” Doujin ###circle This was the basis of the story published by another company. (Originally it was doujinshi.) It’s even more chaotic than the published version. The two of them are a bit different. “Until You’re Satisfied” Age gap? Teacher x student? Nurse’s Office? I got to cram in as many elements as I wanted. Bam! Full combo! I don’t often draw girls like Yuuri, so that was new and fresh. -5 Finally a deep thank you to everyone who helped. Yukiko-sensei Kaai Aki-sensei Neko My editor My designer And all my readers -6 I would be delighted if we could meet again sometime. Looking forward to seeing you in the future! —173 -1 After Sunrise —174 -1 Digital edition extra “When your Night Ends” Thank you for buying the digital edition! Harukawa Haru
