Pink Candy Kiss, Vol. 4

Can Takara find happiness with the girl she loved in middle school? Or is she 20 years too late?

After 20 years apart, Takara reconnects with Ema, the girl she nearly kissed in middle school--who’s now a beautiful, married woman.

After an uninvited guest disrupts Ema’s work and ruins her confidence, Ema turns to Takara as a shoulder to lean on. Against her better judgment, Takara suggests they run away together. She tells herself she’s doing this for the sake of her friend, but how long can she keep her feelings in check before her willpower crumbles?
