In Hana & Hina After School, Morinaga returns to familiar ground, which is high school students into fashion, makeup, and other typical highly feminized activities. Hana and Hina love cute things and their shared passion makes for a story full of adorable art and outfits. Even though the bulk of the story takes place at the shop they both work at, their sweet tale of love hits all the typical high school romance notes. It's pure fun and fluff that had me rolling around on the floor in delight.

I especially enjoy that one of the characters already knew they are queer. It makes the story stand out against other high school yuri nicely, and it adds a layer of commentary about how every individual comes out at their own pace.

Check out Hana & Hina After School for a by-the-numbers lesbian high school romance with Morinaga's unique touch of authenticity.
