<p>A common meme originating from <em>yuri</em> is (possible NSFW images in link) <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/they-were-both-bottoms" rel="nofollow noreferrer">&quot;They Were Both Bottoms&quot;</a> which features 2 women in their underwear about to have sex but lamenting at the realization that neither one is willing to take the lead.</p>
<p>On the <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/they-were-both-bottoms" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Know Your Meme</a> site, it states that the image was originally drawn by Mikawa Miso.

<p>So, which of Mikawa Miso's works did the &quot;They Were Both Bottoms&quot; image originate from?</p>

A common meme originating from *yuri* is (possible NSFW images in link) ["They Were Both Bottoms"](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/they-were-both-bottoms) which features 2 women in their underwear about to have sex but lamenting at the realization that neither one is willing to take the lead.

On the [Know Your Meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/they-were-both-bottoms) site, it states that the image was originally drawn by Mikawa Miso. However, it doesn't list what the manga/doujinshi was and the link in the citation goes to DynastyScans's 404 page.

So, which of Mikawa Miso's works did the "They Were Both Bottoms" image originate from?
