We Are Dating, Right!? ch1

"Clinging your bodies together while walking."
I'm sure there are couples who walk around like this,

but we're not dating.
S-Sara-chan...!?
Your boobs are toucing me, y'know...!?

We're both friends, Shino, so walking around while clinging to each other is normal, isn't it?
It's a form of skinship.
Her sense of distance is bugged out...!!

Sara-chan always does things only couples would do without a care.
This is bad...!
If she keeps doing stuff like this so lightly...

There's no way she's doing this unconsciously.

p2-3

I'll fall in love with her.

Wait... Aren't we pretty much already dating at this point...!?
I mean, boobs are usually a forbidden fruit that only lovers are allowed to touch...! Even if it's over my clothes, she's really pushing them against me... Does that mean she already acknowledges me as her lover...? No, it's too soon to decide that...
This is

the heavy and light tale of these two girls.

Thrown for a ride by a light girl,
this heavy girl will once again grow crazy today.

An offense vs defense yuri comedy about these two twisted girls begins!!!

[tn: In this context, "heavy" (omoi) can be used to mean "overbearing/serious" whereas "light" (karui) can be used to mean "frivolous/easygoing". As the chapter uses a lot of double meaning wordplay, these terms will be maintained throughout.]

I-
I somehow broke free of Sara-chan's temptations and made it to school...!
Even after that...

she said we should hold hands.
Even when I said no because it'd be too heavy, she just forcibly interlocked our fingers...

Sara-chan takes every little thing too lightly...!!
If she keeps this up, I might really get the wrong idea...!
That's the one thing I can't let happen... After all...
Hey, Shino.

You free after school today?
Here she comes again!

Let's go on a date.
Another one!?

She's trying to give me another misunderstanding!!
By date you mean... that thing people who are going out with each other do...!?
Nope. Just a normal outing.
See what I mean!?

I won't be fooled anymore...! No matter what things Sara-chan tries to say lightly, we won't start dating...!
Where are we going...?

We'll go eat this.
It's a parfait that's exclusively for couples.
Exclusively for couples!?

So it's finally a definitive thing that we're dating...!?
What are you talking about?

I wanna eat it, so I need you to pretend to be my lover, Shino.
A-Ah!
So we'd pretend to be a couple...!
She could've fooled me!!

Th-That was close...!
I almost got the wrong idea again!!
Just like that time...!
The first misunderstanding was two years ago, during my second year of middle school...

I had convinced myself that me and a girl I was always close with were dating.
Eh...? We're not dating, though...
That's a pretty heavy thing to drop on me all of a sudden...
After witnessing by heavy side, she stopped being friends with me.

But now... of all things!
The same thing is happening again!!
I'm coming so close to falling in love with Sara-chan that I'll end up misunderstanding again!!

Because everything she does makes me think we're more than just friends!!
Of course I'd misunderstand!! Of course I'd get heavy!!

But... if I show her my heavy side, I'll be ditched just like I was back then.
That's why I'm fine with this.
I just have to not show her my heavy side...

Sure.
Let's go on a date, Sara-chan!

I-I've been putting on a little weight lately...!
I guess I'll just have a drink?
My heart's heavy enough as is without a heavy body to go with it...!

Eh? It's no different from mine.
Look. Wanna touch it?
What are you doing in the middle of a cafe!?

You mustn't do something so rash!!
Cos it'll give me a chilly stomach, huh.
Not what I meant!!

I understand now that Sara-chan really is a girl who takes things lightly and doesn't care what other people think of her...!
I get the feeling she'd do that kind of thing with anyone.
That aside, that tummy is really se-...
Hey, Shino.

p10

Touch
my boobs.

?

Eh... Eh? Why...?
I've been gaining a little weight in my chest area too.
Specifically, it's gone up by a few...
Do I really need to hear that information right now!?

Well, y'know.

p11

Everyone's got something heavy going on somewhere.

Yeah.
Sara-chan

Thanks, Sara-chan.
I guess I'll eat too!
Aight.
says some kind things lightly too.

p12

This and
one of the big parfaits.
Ah...

That's exclusively for couples...
Sorry, but since you're both girls...
Huh?

We are dating, though.

Sara-chan...
She admitted we're dating...!?

I'll even kiss her if you want.
She wants to eat it that badly!?

p13

Seeing your flirting would be a problem for me!!
I'll bring it right away!
Of course.

Hey...
If she hadn't stopped us, we would've kissed for real, y'know...!?
? Yeah.
It's normal between friends, right?
No it isn't!!

Just what kind of morals was Sara-chan raised with!?
Her personality's way too light!!
Anyone would get the wrong idea.
Is it because I'm so heavy that I'm misunderstanding so much...!?
But...

Everyone's got something heavy going on somewhere.

Those words... made me happy.
Even if she was only talking about body weight.

p14

I guess being a little heavy isn't so bad.

Okay...

Friends Mode
Couple Poses Mode

Let's take some couple-ish photos.

Couple Poses Mode

Why this all of a sudden!?

It'll be easier to eat that parfait next time if we have a couple-ish photo on hand.
She's planning on taking me there as a stand-in lover again.

We're practically dating at this point...
The first pose is...

a princess carry!!
Heh?

p15

Sara-chan...
I'm heavier, so shouldn't I be the one carrying you!?
N-No, you're not heavy.
You're pushing yourself!!
The next pose is...

a kiss.
Okay, let's do it.
Why are you such a glutton!?

p16

We already have the princess carry for the couple-ish photo, right...!?
We don't need to kiss too...
A kiss photo would look more authentic.
That's true, but still!!

This is bad. If we go as far as kissing, I won't be able to stop myself.
I'll become a heavy girl completely.

I don't want to experience that again...
That's a pretty heavy thing to drop on me all of a sudden...

Everyone's got something heavy going on somewhere.

Sara-chan.

p17

I don't want to kiss.

I know you're just doing this lightly, Sara-chan,
but this is the one thing I can't do yet.
I don't want to go any further yet. I don't want you to hate me.

I'm heavy, after all.

Just a little...

I showed her just a little of my heavy side.

...I...
see...
...Just a little more...

p18

Just a little more and I would've gotten that kiss~...!!

When I pushed my boobs against her,
when I princess carried her,
when I was about to kiss her,

p19

I acted like a light girl on purpose to do some lover-like things,
but Shino won't notice me at all...!
Sara was also a heavy girl.

If she had noticed me, she would've agreed to kiss...
but she specifically said "I don't want to kiss"...

She has no interest whatsoever...!

A-Are you okay, Sara-chan...?
You look pretty pale...
Y-Yeah.
I'm fine...

But...

p20

I'm sorry...!
I didn't turn down the kiss because I hate you or anything, Sara-chan...!

I got to see Shino's cute expression, so it's fine.
It's fine. I'm not bothered by it.
She's also a sucker for a pretty face.

Let's do some doodles, Shino.
S-Sure!

Thank goodness... She doesn't hate me...!
Looks like things won't get any heavier...

Well... if I dial up the skinship, she'll fall for me eventually... I assume.
Until the day Shino falls in love with me...

p21

I need to do my best to not fall in love with Sara-chan...!
I'll make Shino notice me to the point of confessing...!

This is
That princess carry really got my heart pounding~...!
Maybe making the eyes bigger would be more charming...
the heavy and light tale... of two heavy girls.

Girls who seem light are surprisingly heavy, huh. Chapters 2 & 3 appearing back to back next issue!
