The series follows 4 hostesses at Club Rose and their relationships. It’s directed more towards an adult audience but manages to sneak in just enough cute to make it fun as well.
3 Chapters (Complete)





I first read this ~12 years ago, but I still remember it, especially the second story.
imo the second story is the best one, I'd give it an 8/10
Then the first story a 7.5/10
Then the third story a 7/10
not Amano Shuninta's best work, that's probably Philosophia but still a good entry overall. The second story is one I'd easily recommend to people wanting a yuri one-shot story.
For a manga dealing with semi-serious adult subjects, cabaret, single parenthood, abuse, etc, the manga is pretty naive about it. It lacked the depth that I craved. It felt like stories a girl in middle school would come up with. I was a bit disappointed as the art is really pleasing to look at and Yuri written by female mangaka is always better and usually not exploitive. That being said though, I appreciate that this just all about girl love and that it had that purity about it. This is a good mangaka and definitely one of the better Yuri manga's out there to read.
I never give 10s if I can help it...to leave room for the perpetual perfect.
But this would be very freaking close. I can't ever get tired of reading Amano Shuninta's stories. In this particular book, Guilty Love would be my favorite out of the 3. It starts off exciting and goes on a "what happens after?" kind of feeling. Pleasant and well-drawn as usual.
A collection of stories revolving around the lives of each hostess at Club Lilac. All I can really say is that it's a great deal glittery, ripe with the glamour of beautiful hostesses and each of their complicated circumstances that range from playful and light humored to angsty and serious. But really, it's just a good time. I always feel refreshed after reading Amano Shuninta, and the Amano Shuninta feeling is strong with this one.
