My name is YUAKA. Drawing yuri stories is sooo fun! Rei and Hanna are two senpai that were introduced in “You’re too handsome, Reki-senpai!”, which was serialized in Yuri Hime. The two volumes (about 8-9 stories) plus this doujinshi all take place about the same time, so please read them if you are interested! The flowers surrounding the two of them on the cover are the same as frontispiece of chapter 9 of “You’re too handsome, Reki-senpai!”. It’s a stock image of Petunias, but for those of you with time, please look up the meaning in flower language! Also, both “Rei” and “Hanna” are names that indicate flowers. Apparently they even make sense overseas. (I imagined that Rei and Hanna’s mothers were close and often went abroad together). If you like this and were to read “You’re too handsome, Reki-senpai!”, that would make me so happy! So then… If you’ve read this far, thank you very much!
