It’s a flurry of misunderstandings as Chiaki (the petite-sized fiend for large melons) and Touka (the stacked connoisseur of small bosoms) meet at last! When Chiaki spots Touka touching the breasts of a yukata-clad Hana, pangs of envy strike her heart. But is that jealousy about just physical closeness, or is Chiaki feeling something deeper? Could it be not just Hana’s chest that’s special, but also what’s behind it…?

Chiaki and her breast friend, Harumi, have landed themselves in a rather precarious position-topless, half nude, and hiding in a locker! If only that were the worst of their troubles...When a classmate learns of Harumi's after-school activities, her sincere advice threatens to break the bosom bond Chiaki and Harumi share!

Chiaki Ichihara is the princely heartthrob all the girls crush on, but she's got a not-so-charming secret: a serious boob fetish! Chiaki is so obsessed with breasts, she can hardly function without copping a feel. To satiate this need (and keep her classmates from finding out), she has enlisted Hana Harumi, whose perfectly sized and shaped bust may just be everything Chiaki's ever wanted...Will their odd partnership bloom into a bosom bond like no other?

“Bosom” friends Chiaki and Hana continue to grow into their one-of-a-kind friendship. With each passing day (and every secret fondling session), the two learn more about each other, and their relationship flourishes. Yet uncertainty haunts Hana’s thoughts—what if Chiaki finds an even more satisfying set of breasts?! Luckily for Hana, ’tis the season for boob watching at the pool—the ideal time to investigate what exactly Chiaki looks for in a perfect pair…!

The rumored handsome girl, Chiaki's favorite thing is... breasts. "Your breasts are still the best!" "Your greetings are still the worst." So it goes in this wee bit silly, yuri comedy!

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY People ∙ O: The Oprah Magazine ∙ Financial Times ∙ Kansas City Star ∙ BookPage ∙ Kirkus Reviews ∙ Publishers Weekly ∙ Booklist NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A stunner.”—Justin Cronin “It’s never the disasters you see coming that finally come to pass—it’s the ones you don’t expect at all,” says Julia, in this spellbinding novel of catastrophe and survival by a superb new writer. Luminous, suspenseful, unforgettable, The Age of Miracles tells the haunting and beautiful story of Julia and her family as they struggle to live in a time of extraordinary change. On an ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, Julia awakes to discover that something has happened to the rotation of the earth. The days and nights are growing longer and longer; gravity is affected; the birds, the tides, human behavior, and cosmic rhythms are thrown into disarray. In a world that seems filled with danger and loss, Julia also must face surprising developments in herself, and in her personal world—divisions widening between her parents, strange behavior by her friends, the pain and vulnerability of first love, a growing sense of isolation, and a surprising, rebellious new strength. With crystalline prose and the indelible magic of a born storyteller, Karen Thompson Walker gives us a breathtaking portrait of people finding ways to go on in an ever-evolving world. “Gripping drama . . . flawlessly written; it could be the most assured debut by an American writer since Jennifer Egan’s Emerald City.”—The Denver Post “Pure magnificence.”—Nathan Englander “Provides solace with its wisdom, compassion, and elegance.”—Curtis Sittenfeld “Riveting, heartbreaking, profoundly moving.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Look for special features inside.
