I picked up Vol. 1 a little while ago and I've read it several times now. I really love it!

===Text Snipped===
One thing that struck me about First Love Sisters was how quickly Chika confessed to Haruna. In most of the boy-girl romance manga I've read, if the main character confesses their feelings early on they tend to either get rejected flat out or create an awkward silence which distances the two of them for a while. Reading this it seemed strange to see Chika's feelings accepted and returned in the first book. Is this normal for for yuri romance or is it simply a shorter story than I'm used to and thus moves faster?

I'm pretty sure it depends on the character. In most Shoujo manga the guy is usually either a spineless little wimp or some incarnation of one and can't get his courage up or he's completely oblivious to the situation and has to be kicked into shape. Also the girls in most shoujo are either blindsided by the confession or are tsundere, in which case she's gonna say "no" regardless of whether she really likes him or not... In Saigo no Seifuku (Last Uniform), which is quite yuri, the first confession doesn't happen until the the last page of Vol 2.

Contrast Souma Ogami from Kannazuki no Miko who confesses to
==NO SPOILER TAGS EXIST SO I LEFT OUT THE NAME==
by the end of chapter 3 and even though she doesn't answer him, he is determined to tell her one way or the other and would probably not accept a "no" but keep on pursuing. He is smart, sure of himself (well as much as a teenager can be), and knows what he wants.

Chika is an extremely straight-forward girl who says what she feels without regards to any repurcussions that might happen. So, no, it seems perfectly within her character to go ahead and confess. Also Haruka really likes Chika but doesn't want to hurt her so by the time Chika confesses, she has to make some really hard decisions.

So, to answer your question, it's not a genre thing, it's more of a character development thing.

P.S. Adam, you really need to add spoiler tags to the forum......

That makes sense, Ichigo. Speaking of Kannazuki no Miko, I haven't read any of the manga but I felt really bad for Souma in the anime. The poor guy deserved to get something after all of that.

Six more months until First Love Sisters 2 comes out...

That's the date that was set a while ago, but right now the page for First Love Sisters has TBD for the street date. Is there actually a stall, or did someone mess up on the site?

Man, if Borders had carried this while I was there, I would have sooooo picked this up. Oh well. It looks good, so I'll probably have to order it somewhere. I cannot resist anything with yuri in it for long. ^_^

I hope they stay with this manga and continue with it through to the end. I have heard negative rumors concerning this manga possibly not being released. This I do not want to see happen.

It's the same situation of Last Uniform. (my post about it)

It's a loss for them to continuing publishing these series, so they won't do it.
"On hold " and "TBA" are just nice ways to say that they're not more interested in them, and who cares about all the people who bought the first volumes...
