When Budding Lilies Blossom

Rena and Manami were supposed to spend a romantic Christmas together, but when Manami catches a cold, their holiday date is put on hold. On New Year’s Eve, Rena heads over to Manami’s place to make up for lost time. But as it sinks in that this will be their first night together, Rena can’t help but wonder if Manami has something more “adult” in mind. Still, she’s determined to make it a night Manami will never forget.

To Rena’s surprise, Manami has a Christmas miracle waiting for her! With festive decorations filling the room and a beautiful necklace ready as a gift, Manami is more excited than ever. Rena is touched—but then she realizes she didn’t get Manami a present! Luckily, Manami already knows exactly what she wants to unwrap: Rena herself.
