I’ve been withholding a nomination to wait and see if we’d hit the max before the vote, especially since I have two nominations already.
I’ll put it here, but if anyone has a last-minute nomination, this one can take a back seat for the upcoming vote list. (Likewise, if three nominations from one person is a bit much.)
あしたは土曜日 春・夏
Summary
A slice of life comedy revolving around the conversations and daily shenanigans of three schoolgirls. Mina is lively and gets into mischief; Yukari is the class rep and usually follows Mina’s lead; and Sanae is a member of the track club who, unlike her friends, prefers to stay cool and act rationally.

Note: I feel with more ratings, this would drop to at least level 18.
Personal Opinion
Teasing-Master Tagaki-san seemed to do well when we read it. This two-volume series is similar in difficulty but with five-page chapters.
