Pride in Print AFTER HOURS

Japanese comics (manga) have always been less...restrictive...than American comics....
...as this PG-13 example of the Shoujo-ai/Yuri (women's romance) genre proves!
Note: manga reads right-to-left, not left-to-right, as Western comics do!
And that's how they "met cute"...
Note that this excerpt is a scanalation from the original Japanese magazine publication.
The official American reprint from Viz removes the Japanese "sfx" as shown on this version of Page 3...
...and has slightly-different translations.
The series differs from the usual shoujo-ai/yuri strip (which feature high-school/college teen-agers) since the lead characters are adults.
Emi is in her mid-20s and Kei is early to mid 30s.
It's engrossing and entertaining, going into how the duo combine business (music DJ-ing) and romance after moving in together and it's tastefully-done.
