A korean webcomic (릴리 오브 더 밸리) written and drawn by Rangrari, who is most known by her “Bad thinking diary” series. You can read it for free on the distributor, Ridibooks.
Art: 5/5 stars
Full color, fully rendered with a 3d effect and hyper-realistic backgrounds. Did the artist sell their soul?
Story: 4.5/5
I didn’t expect the ending, mostly because of clichés. Very happy about the surprise.
Polyamory ftw.
Characters: 4/5
I really liked Anna, especially the way she contributed positively to the surprising ending. Saw myself in her.
I wish her well.
Themes: 5/5
The execution of the question “what is love? Is it romance or pleasure? Or both?” is really really well done here. Especially how there’s no clear answer and left for the reader to decide, as well as highlighting how different it is for everyone, including all three main characters.

Finale Grade
A
I could rate it 5 stars, but I didn’t like that one hetero sex scene, so minus 0.25 stars it is. Luckily it was very short. :’)
Overall very recommended. It has GL smut, gorgeous art, deep characters especially for that length, ace rep, psychological exploration, good writing, breaking from clichés, polyamory, harem, and is so short you can read it in one go. Deserves to be sold in bookstores.

Favorite game/film/book: doesn’t have one, cause there are too many good ones!
About: generalist, who likes a bit of everything, but especially has a love for magic, queerness and melancholy. When they’re not arting, they’re probably dreaming/reading through another world, or spending time in nature with their dog.
