Sapphic September

I got this challenge from twitter. I haven't read GL in a while so I thought it would be fun to participate in this as my tbr grows larger and larger.
The works I chose:

• A Classic: Shiroi Heya No Futari: Short boarding school yuri with a beautiful old school shojo art style
• A Manwha: Lily of the Valley: This is by Rangari who also did the famous Bad Thinking Diary. I've heard mixed reviews of this one but I'm still gonna check it because I like the art style. Like BTD it's also apparently smut heavy
• Manhua: Keep an Eye on You: I've only read one gl manhua (I'm more dangerous than you) and this seemed interesting in the similar way that it seems like a toxic/crime story as well
• A genre I barely read: Hoshikuzu Telepath: I've watched both the anime and live action of this and so this has been on my tbr for long. I also chose this because it's a school setting which is a genre I don't really read
• Someone's recommendation: Love Thy Neighbor: twitter mutual recommended this to me and this is also a sexy and toxic story so it's right up my alley
• Drama: She loves to cook, she loves to eat: I've only heard good things about this drama and I really love romance surrounding cooking so I believe this will be a comfy watch. I will also be continue to watch new thai gls.

Me too! AH! I am so glad to speak to someone else who gets it. I think... there is a certain loneliness that is presented in the book taken to an extreme and... gosh, it's hard not to relate and understand the decisions Lily makes. At every point the story was clear where it was going so I think anyone turning away from the end because it was harsh does a disservice to the themes presented in the work.

I'm literally writing the entry I wanted to post about it in your comments, sorry!

Yes exactly! I'm glad we share the same opinion!
