Since the new chapter is out, and I haven´t seen anybody talk about it in this forum, I thought I´d do a spot of advertising.
"Girl Friends" is a yuri manga by Morinaga Milk, she´s done lots of yuri short stories in the past, but "Girl Friends" is her first ongoing series. The main character in "GF" is Mariko, an introverted teenage girl who´s been living a quiet life, not really being a social type or being interested in things like makeup and partying like her other classmates, but one day she´s approached by a girl named Akko, who calls her "Mari-chan" (much to Marikos surprise) and asks if they can walk home together. Akko turns out to be quite a character, a complete extrovert and Marikos direct opposite in almost every way, she takes her out to eat, compliments Mariko on her hair, and talks her into getting a makeover, something Mariko reluctantly agrees on. And once she sees her new look and haircut, she at first thinks she´s been set up for humiliation, but Akko is ecstatic about her new look, and introduces Mariko to her clique of friends. And so begins a new life for Mariko, a life quite different from her old one, where she goes shopping for clothes, gets makeup tips, and also slowly finds herself thinking about Akko quite a lot, and getting jealous at the thought of Akko hanging around with other girls, much less getting a boyfriend if she doesn´t already have one. It doesn´t take long for Mariko to realize she´s fallen in love with her new best friend, but thinking she doesn´t stand a chance with Akko, she decides to keep her attraction a secret and savour every moment with Akko. But how long can she keep her true feelings down?
The manga is currently at chapter 17, and is being scanlated by Makimaki scanlations, you can find the chapters released so far here: http://makimaki.110mb.com/main.php

Chapter 18 was released in Japan just recently, it´ll probably take a couple weeks for the scanlation to appear.

The good news: Chapter 18 is now scanlated and available. The bad news: We have to wait until late February/early March for the next chapter. We can just hope the wait will be made easier with the scanlation of the two short stories from volume two of the collected Girl Friends mangabook.
