Tanabata: May yuri spread throughout the world～ #SonoHana

The photos in the above tweet notably lack the acrylic stand of Hazuki and Manami. Tanaka Lili (@tanakalili), voice of Hazuki, took exception to this.

はづまなが居ないのは、はづまなファンが少ないのでしょう…
頑張れはづまな。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。負けるなはづまな。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。 https://t.co/uTxNq41clR

There’s no HazuMana… Is it because they don’t have many fans…?
Stay strong, HazuMana… ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・ Don’t give in, HazuMana! ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・

Kaede-chan apparently advocates a #CastIronSkillet. #SonoHana

Good day to you.  I’m Kitajima Kaede♡
To those of you saying, “My stir-fried vegetables are clumping together,” or “My yakisoba with sauce is too watery,” have you tried using a cast iron skillet?

Now, when it comes to cast iron skillets, some of you may be thinking, “Aren’t they hard to maintain?” or “Don’t they rust easily?”

Rationale for A Kiss For The Petals

2004年に『マリみて』のアニメが始まって以来、一気に男性向けアダルト同人誌が出回り始めたんですが……
大半は、陵辱系か、背徳系か、ち○ちんが生えてる感じでしたわね～
逆に、原作愛を感じる様な同人作品は、ほぼ全年齢向けばかりで『中間』というのがホントにない時代でしたわね～

— ふぐり屋 (@fuguriya1) January 3, 2016

In 2004, shortly after the Marimite anime began, all at once there was a flood of adult doujinshi on the market targeted at males…
However, most of them involved rape, or perversion, or sprouting a d*ck～
Conversely, original works focused on love were exclusively targeted at all ages, so it was a time when there truly was nothing “middle of the road”～

『#その花』は「恋人になってからの楽しさ」、みたいなモノをテーマにしたかったんですの。
恋人同士だから当然エッチな事もするし、イチャイチャもする。
そうやって何度かのエッチをこなしていたら、ヒロインの方からモジモジとエッチのおねだり……
正にそういうのをやりたかったんですわ～♡

— ふぐり屋 (@fuguriya1) January 3, 2016

The central theme of #SonoHana was intended to be “the joy of falling in love.”
Because the characters were lovers, naturally they would have sex, and be mushy with one another.
That way, no matter which round of sex they were on, the heroines could be be fidgety and pleading…
That’s what we truly wanted to do～♡

ある意味、ストーリーもへったくれも無く、ひたすらイチャイチャ＆百合ん百合んしてるのが、ふぐり屋の向かう先なもかも知れませんわね～ｗ pic.twitter.com/SEWa8rKGE5

— ふぐり屋 (@fuguriya1) January 3, 2016

In a way, you might say it was Fuguriya’s goal all along to do something single-mindedly focused on mushy yuri love, without skimping on the story～ (lol)
