    Why is Matsuri of Ichigo in the list? I would think that Nobue is more likely to be in it.

    The new Essay is great for the Newbies!!

  2. Matsuri was recommended, I can only assume, because of her obvious desire to be Nobue’s favorite, i.e., her crush.

    Ah ok, thanks. It must be after the three first Volumes.

  4. Looked to me like it starts right from the beginning – Miu and Matsuri spend alot of time right off vying for Nobue’s attention – one of the very first chapters is why M and M don’t like each other – it basically comes down to they each want to be the one to hang with Nobue.

    You have to remember that “The List” is by fans. Not every name is “a lesbian”. Some are just the way fans see it or want it to be.

    I remember that Chapter… but it always appears to me that it was mostly Miu Being a royal pain…
    I meant when Anna shows up Mui goes almost postal for Nobue’s attention…

    But maybe it can be seen has that, the Matsui/Nobue/Mui situation i mean…

    anyways is a really funny manga, i hope the anime will be even more fun.
