Sweet's manga / #Strong Female Lead(6)

I thought it was different even while keeping some stereotypes and tropes within the GL and F/F romance genre. Claire Clayton has to be one of my favorite characters Ratana Satis has written so far. She is losing her mind because she already lost her memory and then slowly pieces together what actually happened before losing her memory, all the happy times she had with Thea, all sad times at having to play the spy to Thea, Thea knowing she was a spy and still choosing her over Sheryl. Knowing Sheryl was jealous and not who she truly loved. Then going on the run and trying to get her memory back, and then having to deal with Sheryl's jealousy at not being with Thea alone. She didn't like having to share who she thought was hers alone. Understandable, Thea is attractive. She really has a way with getting you a bit emotional before the happy ending. This one took a little longer to get going, but once it did, it was really beautifully told. This would be better in an animated film or show space than live-action.

I really enjoyed this, but the age-gap and how the relationship starts out for the two mains as sexual is a bit problematic even if consent, with Akila coming into the picture making it more balanced between all three of them and making the other two realize they have feelings for one another, it was just the situation they were in that made Lunar believe she was just being used for sex by Synne, as a part of her being saved by Synne, and nothing more. Their eventual-turned-throuple is actually a nice sight to see. With Akila entering the picture, Synne admits she really loves Lunar, and Lunar realizes she loves both of them equally but also for different reasons. I'd like to see Ratana Satis do more of this kind of fantasy. I would like at least a spinoff with the dark-haired lady teased at the end.

Temporary sex to stay alive and ease the pain that follows a full Flower Maiden bloom. One of the very first I ever read in the GL/Yuri genre that completely got me hooked. I do wish Kang Unnie would do another GL/Yuri fantasy story like this with likeable characters and women falling in love. Dohwa's friend dies, and when she does, Dohwa blames herself even though as her Unnie said, she gave her a last time with her love, and so then Dohwa promises her friend to never forget her and to find the cure to stop it.
