Aya: Sheesh, who’s the one who kept me up all night, huh?

@YRP_jacky:
@fuguriya1 What’s up with Rinagisa?  Is the super powerful suction of their kiss so intense it’s keeping Nagisa suspended?  That’s some terrifying sucking power…

@fuguriya1:
Rinagisa is an attractive force to be feared!
…That was the thought when we designed it, but if you look closely, they’re not quite touching (´･ω･`)
@YRP_jacky

Miscellaneous: Nagisa and Rina

Rina: “Here’s your morning chocolate, Nagisa♪”
Nagisa: “Rina… You know you don’t have to feed it to me with your mouth…”
Rina: “Hehehe, I know, but I like it when you eat it like this♡”

Second Series Visual Novel Reprints

Currently the second series of Sonohana doujin games (Photograph of Affection, The Joy of Loving You, Whisper with a Kiss) are out of stock, and we were going to recommend the download versions, but…

Details to come! We’ll keep you posted～

The long out of print Photograph of Affection is set to be re-released～♡
Both the old packaging and new packaging feature two-sided, reversible box art.

Miscellaneous: Hazuki and Manami

Hazuki: Mmm, your hair is so silky and pretty, Manami.
Manami: Nnnh～  Hazuki, I’m still sleepy…  Zzzz…
Hazuki: Fine, fine, go take a shower to wake yourself up, then.  Hehe, what would you do without me♪

Miya Pouches

This is a reference to Pochi Pouches (ポチ袋 Pochi Bukuro), a line of money envelopes featuring Pochi, a Shiba Inu, with frank sentiments about the money being offered, such as “I’m expecting you to repay this 3 times” and “Thanks to this, I’m broke now.” 

Miya Pouches～♡
Use these to gift money to that special someone♡

Miya: “I feel like I’m basically throwing money down the drain♡”

Miscellaneous: Aya and Ai 2

Hazuki: I knew MANA’s glasses were just for looks.  They aren’t prescription at all.
Manami: Hehehe, I’m surprised how good they look on you♡  I never would’ve pictured you in glasses.
Hazuki: Hnnh, you look cute in my glasses too… It’s so frustrating♡

A Classic in Five Seconds: A Kiss For The Petals (first visual novel)

It was April, when the sakura petals dance in the air.
I stood there dressed in my brand new uniform.
Yuuna: “Why are you crying?  …Let’s get married!”
Nanami: “Okay♡”

#AClassicInFiveSeconds #SonoHana

The hashtag #名作をいきなり終了させる is used to summarize famous works in a single tweet. The literal translation is “Quickly bringing a classic work to its conclusion.”

Panty Mask

This tweet contains an image that is not safe for work. The image used here is from Snow White’s Knight.

https://twitter.com/fuguriya1/status/716796676657139713

Risa: It says they caught a pervert wearing panties on their head… Isn’t that scary, Miya?
Miya: That sounds scary.
Risa: Huh?
Miya: Huh?

#PantyMask #SonoHana

The punchline 「何それ怖い」  “That sounds scary.” and response 「えっ？」  “Huh?”「えっ？」  “Huh?” appears to be derived from a 2ch meme involving comedic exchanges of misunderstandings between two people. This page gathers examples quoted from 2ch dated 2009.

Nagisa: Just hurry up and shut the door!  Ahh, I can’t stop♡

Sara’s Sloppy Cooking 1: Thai Curry

See also Kaede-chan’s Newlywed Cooking.

Here comes Sara-san’s sloppy cooking.
*Read it in Uri Satsuki’s voice!

The rice may not cook fully depending on your rice pot, so in that event, mix it gently before cooking it again on “Fast Mode”～♡

cooking1

It’s time to start Sara’s Sloppy Cooking♡ (or Sara Slop for short)!
We’re making canned Thai curry cooked with rice.

cooking2

Here’s the ingredients♪

  • Rice: 2 cups (300g)
    Wash with water as usual.
  • Canned Thai curry: 2 cans
    Red, yellow, or green, tuna or chicken, it’s all good!

cooking3

Here’s how you make it♡

  1. After the rice has absorbed all the water (about 30 minutes) strain thoroughly.
  2. Add all the curry and rice to the pot, and add water to the 2 cup fill line.
  3. Mix gently, and cook as normal.

*If your cooker has a “Cook with Food” mode, use that♪

cooking4

Once cooked, stir gently with a rice paddle, and…
Serve in a rice bowl and you’re done♡
Season to taste with sliced green onions and shichimi♪

Sara’s Sloppy Cooking 2: Refrigerated Udon Carbonara

I made refrigerated udon carbonara～♡

cooking2-1

It’s time to start Sara’s Sloppy Cooking♡ (or Sara Slop for short)!
We’re making refrigerated udon carbonara.

cooking2-2

Here’s the ingredients♪

  • Refrigerated udon: 1 pack (nuke it in the microwave)
  • Salad oil: 1 tbsp
  • Grated garlic: 1 tbsp (from a tube is okay!)
  • Sliced bacon: 1-2 strips (cut into bite-sized pieces)

Sauce (Put all 3 together and mix them well):

  • Milk: 50 ml
  • Egg yolk: 1
  • Parmesan cheese (grated): 2 tbsp (18g)
  • Coarsely ground black pepper (however much you’d like☆)

cooking2-3

Here’s how you make it♡

  1. Put the salad oil and garlic in a frying pan and simmer over low heat for about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat until crispy.
  3. Add the microwaved udon and quickly mix together, turn off the heat, and thoroughly stir in the sauce.
    * The trick is to mix it with the remaining heat. That way the sauce won’t dry out♪

cooking2-4

Transfer to a plate…
Sprinkle on the black pepper, and you’re done♡
It only takes one pan, so it’s simple♪

Postscript from the tweet text:

If you use the leftover egg white in egg soup, it won’t go to waste, okay?

If you cut the bacon ahead of time and separate it into portions, you can wrap it in plastic and keep it in the refrigerator for several days～

If you want a thicker sauce, use more cheese, and if you want a lighter sauce, use more milk～
Also, unlike pasta or Chinese noodles, udon will soak up a lot of water, so when you make the sauce on the watery side, the trick is to eat it fast～♡

St. Michael’s and Cell Phones

The tweet image originally appeared in the visual novel Joined in Love with You.

Reo: Hey, Mai. Isn’t it weird for school girls to talk on their home phone these days?
Mai: Yeah, well, back then, St. Michael’s didn’t allow cell phones, you know.
Reo: Really?
Mai: Yeah, really♡ It’s definitely not because this came out 9 years ago.

St. Michael’s really didn’t allow cell phones back then, you know.
It’s mentioned in a Reo/Mai Diaries episode from around that time～♡
http://nico.ms/sm8356457 #SonoHana

Actually… Since discomfort and misunderstandings are a staple of yuri stories, cell phones were prohibited 10 years ago in #SonoHana because, “If everyone had a cell phone, nobody would misunderstand anything!”
…But considering how ubiquitous cell phones are these days, that excuse won’t fly anymore～ (´･ω･`)

  • Risa’s panties: 1 (a pair still being worn is preferable)
  • Black tea: Whichever kind you prefer♪

cooking3-3

Here’s how you make it♡

  1. First, enjoy a cup of tea with Risa.
  2. Wait for Risa to start to doze off.
  3. Without waking her, slowly and quietly slide Risa’s panties off.
    * The trick is to not succumb to your carnal desires and take her right there.
    That’s for later when she’s awake…♪

See the tweet link above for the final panel.

Pour the tea from the pot slowly through the panties, so that it leaves a stain…
…and you’re done♡  Mmm, exquisite flavor♡

Hijacked

This tweet was posted as a follow-up to Miya’s Fabulous Cooking. The image originally appeared in Snow White’s Knight.

Risa-san’s secret concern recently.

Image:

Risa-san, unable to hide how unsettled she is that lately, when she wakes up after nodding off, she’s damp for some reason.

Risa: Have I… been drinking too much tea?

Rena’s Sloppy Cooking

The images in this comic (save the fourth panel) originally appeared in Maidens of Michael.

cooking4-3

Here’s how you make it♡

  1. First, gently massage Runa’s feet.
  2. Wait for Runa to start to doze off.
  3. While Runa is asleep, prepare some lukewarm tea.
    *The trick is to remove the socks and massage the feet directly.
    Of course you’ll want to wash your hands thoroughly first♪

cooking4-4

Slowly pour the tea from the pot over Runa’s feet…

Takako: Runa?!

…and you’re done♡  Savor and enjoy♡

It Happens All the Time at St. Michael’s

Nothing fazes Mai-san. #SonoHana

Image:

A growing string of sloppy cooking victims…
At St. Michael’s…
One St. Michael’s student says…
“It happens all the time at St. Michael’s!”

A template with the first two lines in the top right blank, with and without the TV scanlines effect, was also published on Pixiv.

This is in reference to a 2ch meme, ロスでは日常茶飯事だぜ  (“It happens all the time in Los Angeles”). An image of a man giving a thumbs up captioned “It happens all the time in Los Angeles” was originally used as a response from the 2ch server during excess traffic, but is now posted as a reassuring response to a shocking event or a personal conflict. It comes from a perception that the United States is so vast that such unusual events are commonplace, hence the man’s blasé response. The man’s identity is unknown.

Q: It’s not like it’s a CRT TV.  LCD TVs don’t have scan lines, right?
A: Gkh…  It was 9 years ago, okay?!
Q: Wasn’t the St. Michael’s with Risa and Miya only 4 years ago?
A: So annoying!  But kind of hot…

Reo: What?!

Panel 3:

Reo: Why’re you saying embarrassing stuff like that front of people?!
Mai: It’s fine, I’m not embarrassed at all.
Rin: We hope you’re excited about it.

Wallpaper: Mai and Reo, 2010

This tweet links to an image on Pixiv, as Twitter enforces downscaling and a quality reduction for large images that is unavoidable. It is not safe for work.

Sara’s Sloppy Cooking with Kaede: Chinese Restaurant-Style Fried Rice

Kaede: What?  You want me to stand in for Sara?

cooking5-1

Good day to you.  I’m Kitajima Kaede♡
Sara is sulking in bed today, so I’m going to be her stand-in for “Sara’s Sloppy Cooking.”
Today’s dish is…
Not your mother’s fried rice, but fried rice like from a real Chinese restaurant♡

cooking5-2

So, here are the ingredients.

(Serves 1)

  • Lard: 30g
    * Pork fatback is preferable.
  • Refrigerated cooked rice: 1 bowl
    * Thaw halfway unwrapped.
  • Egg: 1
    * Beat well.
  • Somi brand Chinese soup stock: 1 tsp
    * Mix with the beaten egg.
  • Sausage: 2 links
    * Quarter, then chop finely.
    Char siu is preferable.
  • Green onion: Finely chopped, about 1 handful.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste
  • Take the refrigerated cooked rice, unwrapped, and thaw it in a toaster oven for slightly longer than half the amount of time to warm it up.  A fair amount of moisture will evaporate, reducing the dampness of the rice.
  • When you add the soup stock, you’ll be surprised how much it tastes like fried rice from a restaurant.  Well… that’s because that’s the same kind of stock they use at Chinese restaurants, though.  Of course, a similar product is also okay.

cooking5-3

And here’s how we’ll make it.

  1. Add the lard to a skillet and melt over the stove.
    * If using fatback, cut into small pieces and saute over low heat until crispy, with all the fat separated.
  2. Add the egg, and quickly add and mix in the rice.
    Be sure to keep the heat consistent at its highest level.
    Without shaking the skillet, use a spatula or other implement to mix and fold the ingredients.
  3. Add the sausage and green onion, and continue to fry while mixing with the rice.
  4. Once the sausage begins to brown slightly, taste and season with salt and pepper.
    Once satisfied, turn off the heat, plate, and you’re finished♡

cooking5-4

Things to be aware of when preparing are:

  • Somi soup stock has a strong flavor, so soy sauce and other seasonings aren’t necessary.
  • Using lard will result in a richer flavor.  About 30 grams will be enough to keep the rice from sticking.
  • If possible, use a cast iron skillet.  It will make the ingredients less likely to clump together than a non-stick aluminum skillet.

…Say, Sara?  Was this about what you wanted?
