Minami is squarely back in pole position this week. If indeed she ever left it. Nadeshiko that she is Rena definitely has a strong girlfriend aura to her, but I still think the ship had already sailed by the time Rena’s bus arrived at the port.

Synduality Noir #21 — Lowest Budget Idol Scene Possible
