The volume number pulled a fast one on me since I just got back. The end page story was so long because it's just a long story. And that was VERY condensed. I tried to avoid as many details as possible, except now my gender is pretty obvious. But what does that really matter. I got an IRL romance manga experience, even down to the failing to express your feelings. Moral of the story for everyone: Come up with what you want to say. Don't rush, as it's no good to be tripping over words in front of them. Prepare for rejection. It could happen, so just be ready for it. And the MOST IMPORTANT THING! Don't do what I did and have your brain blank out. Make sure to express your feelings. That's very important, as nothing will happen if you don't tell them. Alright, I'll quit. It's not like any of you need this advice. You'll do just fine on your own. Just like I almost did.
