[I know, I know. Crossing swords with Sailor Avalon is sheer folly, but sometimes you have to tilt at windmills.]

Page 007 Panel 3 And just like that, my first kiss was with a girl

008-1 And get this, her name was Yuri-chan [Yuri can be slang for lesbian]

I know it sounds like a joke, but it's true

008-2 She went to a girl's school, was boyish and played softball

Particularly popular among the upperclassmen

008-3 The kind of girl that got chocolate on Valentine's day.
