I dunno if this was mentioned, but isn't Lily Love like really popular in Thailand right now or did that just happen because one of the scanlators linked the raws?
It is very popular in Thailand (1 500 000+ views on ookbee, it's first manga which reached 1M there I think). And Ratana didn't expect so many fans who will buy her volume. But I think it was obvious because story is great :D
They promoted this on Thailand Comic Con

and there was also a cosplay:

Also it's not like that Lily Love is her first manga or something. Thai people knew her art before (but not yuri - from yuri genre she made 1 one shot (if I remember correctly, but maybe there was few xD) and LL as longer series)
About views, of course it is also connected with us ^///^ (I will "humbly" say). International fans also are giving views there.
And well... this project was just a random idea. Kibufu (TN), Coco (QC) and me are in the same group on FB and one time Kibufu posted raws there. And I somehow told her that she could translate this for us because manga looks promising and art is gorgeous XD. She was excited but wasn't sure if her English is on right level for this job so Coco said she can help her and I decided to edit this. Then we contacted Ratana and this is how this whole thing started :D
