Finally uploaded a cover for my story! I got a scanner that did a great job to help me uploading it. Yes I did the drawing myself, so I hope this help with describing the main gender bend better than how I written the main characters of KarManami.

...though I should redo his hair...

Summer vacation have begun!

Akira wanted to spend some time inside since the weather is making everyone sweat. Also he didn't wanted to be a loner for today.

He tried texting the guys he talk to during class invites to hang out with him. But they all said that they already made plans.

"It's so hot~~!" Akira complains. Right now he's sitting on his desk working on some homework his teacher gave to his class which he honestly didn't want to work on it at all. So it's really thanks to his boredom that he's answering algebra math problems.

The only thing eventful is that his older brother gonna be visiting soon, which he is excited. But truly still want to have friends over!

Then out of the blue and procrastinating he begin texting Nagisa.

'It's finally summer vacation! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ' The ravenette started the conversation with that text.

Waiting for a reply.

Waiting...

Waiting...

The boy sigh expecting the short blunette already have plans for the summer. He got up from his desk and flop onto his bed in sadness.

'So lonely right now...' He thought as he could maybe just sleep the whole day. Taking comfort on the blankets and his eyelids begin to close.

And just then his phone vibrated in his hand. What a wake up call.

He instantly sprung up from his sleeping position and look at the message on his screen.

'Yeah it is. How are you?' Was Nagisa's reply.

He felt very happy that someone sacrificed her time to talk to him. He texted her with a giddy grin as he types away his word with his thumbs.

'It so hot!'

'Yeah it is.'

After some time their conversation have ended when she said she have to go.

'So much chores to do on a hot day...'

'That's suck...for you! Lol'

' （；¬＿¬)'

'Just kidding! I'll see you later Nagi'

'Nagi?'

'NAGISA!'

Soon Akira's older brother came home. He came to spend his summer vacation with his family, which his parent are happily welcoming back when he entered through the door.

"Akira-bro!" The tall ravenette calls out when he found the younger one walking down the stairs.

"Bro!" He jump off the few last steps of the stairs to greet the twenty five year old man with a bear hug.

"So glad the family is back together." The mother spoke so sweet as she and her husband are witnessing the beautiful bromance.

"Mom, don't say stuff like that. It almost sounds depressing." Aguri sheepishly grin.

Aguri Yukimura is a researcher oversea in America. He also takes part in the pharmacy stock market. He's appears very similar to Akira but it should be the other way around except he's tall and built with small muscles for a guy.

"How was your trip back here?"

"It was a long trip! I'm just glad a friend of mine still lives here to pick me up from the air port. Though my friend did charge me for the extra mile to get here..." He laugh weakly for being the nice guy he is when he actually tipped him to cover the gas money.

"Well 'nuff said!" State the father of the Yukimura family. "Why don't you boys catch up on some stuff while your mother and I head over to the store to make dinner?"

"That's right~ you're a freshman this year!" Aguri exclaim all excited. "You gotta tell me about your current school life right now!" He drape his arm over Akira's shoulder and his smile widen to hear the stories.

"Sure thing."

"So how long you're staying in Japan"

"give or take about two weeks."

The two Yukimura brothers decided to talk and catch up with each other over some ice cream Aguri volunteer paying. Most of the time they were talking about how they're doing and other normal topics.

"How it like to be a freshman in high school?"

"Well I'm still at the middle school. And it's going smoothly as I made some friends."

"Think you can describe your friends to me?"

The younger ravenette have to think about each one he hangs out with. He made a lot of friends but he mainly made four specifically.

"Well there's this guy who such a nice guy, but a little on the shy side. But he at least make our group nice and in order since there's girl in our group who would cause trouble with other student at my school."

"What's their names? I would like to meet your friends within the time I'm staying."

"The guy I've mention is name Mano Okuda and the girl who cause trouble is name Karmen Akabane. In my opinion I think they're a weird pair to be together, but their friendship seem to help them out. And then there's this girl who's a huge tomboy. She would even put her hair up over her head to look like a guy. She a wonderful person, quiet at first until you get to know her, which applies to Okuda as well."

"I see."

Then the topic changed the moment Aguri expression change when he wants to tease someone. Times that he hear some juicy gossip so he will never let Akira to live it down.

"So any girls falling you?" Aguri asking with a smug look on his face and nudging his younger brother teasingly with elbow, that have the ice cream in his hand. "Come on, it just us here, there's no use hiding."

"Honestly, not any girls I like or have liked me so far." Akira swat away the elbow.

Then the table turned and this time Akira was the one with the smug look.

"What about you? Have any women you fallen for?"

"Meh, there's maybe one actually." The older brother reply nonchalantly as he lick his ice cream. "Have to admit, she's a hard catch."

"When can I meet this woman?" Akira was moving his eye brows up and down as a joke.

"Not sure. We're in the same class, but I don't know her name but we happen to be partners in a project we have to do."

When he turn his brother. Akira had a look of disappointment.

"Is this love at first sight, really? What part of her have you fallen?" He ask with disapprovement in his voice, assuming he likes her for her boobs.

"Wha— It's not like that! I just want to get to know her that's all! I want to make more friends." Aguri'a blood risen to his cheeks as he scooted away and moving his free arms around in a gesture of panicking.

"Then get to know her then." Akira deadpanned, ordering his own brother to man up.

"Alrighty then! I do have her number." He was fiddling with his phone and nervously typing a text messages. Akira as not impress but was more irritated when he look over his hands.

"JUST CALL HER!"

Yeah I'm taking a break from Karmanami and throw in some NagiKae and very little of that shipping. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Honestly I couldn't find any boy names for Aguri. And I ended up keeping the name the same.
