do i need to read the first lily love to understand this?

Mostly no because the references from lily love are reminded, buut there are some sweet ice and ploy moments to enjoy. I'm also guilty of rereading lily love just to enjoy how they were like when they werent main characters and still believe lily love 2 can be read without it imo. Love both works

ohhh well if both works r rlly good then ill just read both cuz I loved this author's other work "pulse" (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Its a good idea ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
