Yoneda-sensei posted the teaser for the upcoming Saezuru chapter 24 on twitter today! Looks like we’re up for some angst.

Doumeki: Are you that afraid of me?

But we already saw a sketch of Doumeki caressing Yashiro’s hair after putting a towel around his neck. And there’s no towel in the pics above, so not all hope is lost yet!  ^_~

Blue Morning T.7 de Hidaka Shoko, à paraitre le 25 Novembre au Japon aux éditions Tokuma Shoten.

Five hundred people have probably posted about this, but let me make it 501.

I love this image. love it. It’s one of the two images in the ED that are the most telling, because they aren’t promoting themselves–it was taken by the Nishigori triplets–and they don’t seem to realize they’ve been caught.

If you’re not aware, body care like this in Japan is a BIG DEAL because it’s something married couples do. One of the most enduring images of domesticity in Japan is, strangely, a wife in seiza with her husband’s head in her lap while she cleans the earwax from his ears.

So this is meant to reflect a similar quiet, matrimonial domesticity–one party caring for the other’s health and cleanliness in an intimate act of touching.

The expressions on their face, the lack of any light save perhaps a lantern or hearth, the shadows and the concentration and that bliss we’re all aware of when someone massages our head or brushes our hair, like a parent might with a child.

For Saezuru’s fellows@poliyoyo @artemisrisen @lustfulcat @mikachan2005 @elveranodekikujiro @doumekl @yonedafan @moran125 @macabow @bellepoissons @perakkaa @purerandomm @snowwolf1118 imagine Doumeki combing and drying Yashiro’s hair so slowly, and Yashiro’s face during all of it, and his one or two teasing comments about Doumeki’s kink for his hair, and his sudden silence since the feeling is too good to keep talking 💕

Thank you for your patience, everyone! There have been some delays on our end, but we’re excited to announce that preorders for the zine will open in 2 weeks, on July 16 at 6am PDT (find out what time that is in your time zone here) until the end of the month.

Orders will be taken through an online store. The link will be posted the same time preorders open.
