   	Hi Readers and Typers,   
      
   		Hana and Hina After School volume two. I found this rather   
   conventional shojo ai and perhaps yuri online first.  Not   
   enough of it is online but the part that is piqued my interest.   
   	This is a Milk Morinaga story.   
      
   	I got the first volume of the story at the Kinokuniya   
   manga shop at Webster and Geary just over the hill in Nihon Machi   
   from the downtown area. In volume one the main characters   
   are introduced and I immediate decided and ordered the next two   
   volumes from TSRI and I got a very satisfactory Volume Two   
   earlier this week and read it totally.  The romanji title is   
   Hana to Hina wa HÅ   
   kago.   
   	These are two conventionally-minded girls. The one is   
   afraid of rejection and the other can hardly understand   
   her feelings about the other.  I hope I see volume 3 before   
   the end of the year or at least before Spring.   
      
   	These are both High School girls, one looks quite mature   
   and is kohai to the other who looks like a cute little girl in   
   her second year of HS.  They are both delinquents breaking the   
   rules of their school by having after school jobs. [sic Madoka   
   in KOR]   
   	The kohai is into anime, manga and game merchandise   
   of the extremely 'cute` variety and that is a big thing at the   
   shop where they work and do stocking and merchandise   
   arrangement to which the kohai is able to add her otaku   
   like knowledge of the 'cute` series.   
      
   	There is some brief confusion about seniority.   
   	By merchandise we are speaking of a multitude   
   of items with some visual connection to a show or a   
   show's mascot. These may be useful items like phone   
   cards, lunch bags for children, Clear files with the   
   imprinted characters, mouse-pads, cell phone charms,   
   and plush or otherwise children's, toy dolls.   
      
   	They both do Cosplay at the booth of the store   
   during a Festival time and they are both very confused   
   about a lot of things. But they really like to work   
   together...   
      
   	In short this is story only for shojo ai   
   fans who may be able to tolerate some light yuri.   
   	Cute girls trying to learn to play nicely   
   with each other.
