I tried translating a manga by Gosaiji.

About the title: in Japanese, the title is the characters for first and face/expression, 初 and 顔, obviously referencing the never-before-seen facial expression which is central to the story. In addition, however, in some instances, it can be seen as an abbreviation of 初顔合わせ, meaning a first meeting, or as an alternate spelling of 新顔, meaning a newcomer / new participant (literally, a new face).
As such, I went with unfamiliar face for the English title to include both the literal meaning of the characters (an unfamiliar facial expression), and the (possible) connection to the words referring to meetings with strangers -- unfamiliar faces, if you will.

I swear I must have spent more time thinking about this title than I spent on working on the manga itself.

@fireproofemu: I haven't, but I have heard good things about it.

A big breasted tomboyish beauty makes the world a much more vanilla and happier place...

Page 21 was what got to me the most; something about that face and the way the text is presented really hit me hard, especially after the previous page's confession. Thanks for translating it, giving me the chance to enjoy it and brighten my day a bit.

Ah, nothing like an old friend with a rough attitude and an overdeveloped body. It's always a delight to see one of NecroManCr's translations when snooping around for porn.

I'd be set for life having a brash yet lovely tomboy as a friend turned intimate lover. Heaven. I'd sweeten the deal and buy her all kinds of tight gym shorts and whatnot, but that's just me. Excellent work, best one I've seen in a while!
