This is one of the series I had to leave behind when I stopped my Young Magazine subscription. I've already read 75% of the chapters in here, but it includes a few more chapters that got published after my cancellation.

Minamike is a loose collection of stories based on 3 sisters. It's not roll on the floor hilarious, but makes me smile and chuckle most of the time. It's distinctly different from most of the other material in Young.

Bonus comes with a chapter from the author's previous work where the publish says was left out of that series's manga.

16. 脱ぎたくない (I Don't Want to Undress): Kana wants Haruka to take off her shirt and show off the two-piece swimsuit she bought her. After Kana gives up, Haruka sees that her friends are all wearing revealing bathing suits and decides to take it off. Kana asks Haruka's friends how they got her to strip.

17. つきっきり (Always Watching): Kana is in bed sick and Haruka sits by her side. When asked why she doesn't watch TV instead, Haruka answers that it's more entertaining watching Kana suffer. Kana then suddenly jumps out of bed and feels better. Haruka later catches the same sickness.

18. ふたりのぶんは (Our Portions): Haruka has the day off and spends the doing nothing, much to the envy of Chiaki and Kana. As sarcasm, Kana tells Haruka to bake a cake. After the two younger girls come home from school, they find Haruka with cream on her face and ask where their slices are.

19. 似てないけど (We Don't Look the Same...): After a phone call from a classmate who comments on how the three girls are different, they start imaging how life would be if the three of them had the same personalities.
