In this beautiful new yuri manga, a young British noblewoman asks her maid to kill her...but the two fall in love instead! Early in the twentieth century, Hanako journeys to England to follow her dream of becoming a novelist. When things don’t work out quite as she planned, she finds employment as a personal maid to noblewoman Alice Douglas, who makes a most unusual request: she begs Hanako to kill her! As Hanako tries to figure out why her mistress would make such a shocking plea, their relationship grows into something far deeper.

with the search of good gl manga through the stacks of bl fans/manga i was pleasantly surprised with this one! 

an old timey romance with lady alice and hanako, with their differences in culture and their likeness for literature. its quite a refreshing story, also the art is to d i e f o r. even if you didnt like the story, the art is just pretty to look at- but how u can u not like the story lmao. 

i love the way that this is set back in time and that the author of the book actually took time to learn about wlw relationships back in england in the time of 1890s, they did say it was quite sad, so i hope alice and hanako get their happily ever after

also fuck alices pretty boy fiance, its so funny to see these boys pine for these obviously gay girls- like get over it and find someone eellseee. 

anyways, thats my review, i’ll defo be buying the next two volumes :D

A LOVE THAT DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME Lady Alice shares the story of her love for her former governess Eliza, as well as its tragic end. In the wake of that story, Hanako finds herself harboring two secrets—including the fact that the feelings in her heart are growing all the more intense.

Goodbye, My Rose Garden Vol. 2

It was only fair I gave this book 5 stars 💀, the story progressed more, as we figured out more of Hanako’s and Eliza’s secrets. We also saw them pine for eachother, without really knowing they like each other LIKE UGH pls kiss already- but looking at the cover for vol.3, things prolly turn out good

Edward cullen ass trying to separate them too? like let my best girls BE WHO THEY ARE FOR THEEIRRE PRIIIIDE 😩‼️- anyways, the art, ill never stop talking about it. it sure is a sight for sore eyes. 

and the chapter n a m e s b r u v. Chapter 10: The Sea Breeze Draws the Sun’s Radiance, Chapter 11: The Sunlight Between Clouds and The Opening Bud- the chapter names alone should tell u the vibe of the story. 

also the new characters; Marie and Susie are adorable, hope to see their relationship blossom too in the 3rd vol. 

anyways, the only problem i have w this manga is that its TOO SHORT, i need more >:(
