Good news to new readers (and old readers as well).
I have completed almost half of the revisions to Fists and Lipsticks. This time, it is available as a one-click download in PDF-version.
Here is the link:

If for some reason the link does not work, you can e-mail me and I can send it to you personally.
Version 1.0 only includes Chapter 1 - 25. You will also notice that I have added, changed, and revised some conversation lines, events, and names.
Revisions included the following:
1. Removed the excessive usage of honorifics. I heard from a Japanese friend that these honorifics are not always used in typical conversations, especially among male friends. So you may notice that some -kuns are omitted, but the -chans remain.
2. Hidemi's coffee shop - I named it this time as 'Concorde'. I just liked the name ^_^
3. As for the conversation lines, I've done some revisions to correct several inconsistencies (like the fact that only Yuken should call Kosuke as 'Kosuke', while others should refer to him as 'Yamazaki' instead). I can't give the complete details of the changes I made since they were MASSIVE. I realized that there were really many grammar and spelling errors, especially in the first ten chapters. It took me a long time to edit them. I feel good that I finally finished them. But if I happen to miss some parts, I would really appreciate it if you could point them out to me so that I can change them in the next version release.
In addition, I also added some conversation lines that weren't present before.
4. I changed the staircase scene. Yup, that sweet staircase scene. You're free to re-read it if you want.
5. I made some minor detail revisions too. Like the 'speeding ticket' for instance. Instead of having that law where "in incessant over-speeding, all people in the vehicle gets a ticket too" - I scrapped that one and changed it to something else (since I realize that it is really unrealistic and stupid, hehe...) . Feel free to check out that revision too.
The revisions for the remaining 28 chapters will be release probably in three days.
I'll post the link as soon as I'm done.
Thank you for reading F&L ^_^
