Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare

Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare

A manga about a gay teenager who finds a gathering of fellow LGBTQ+ people in his town that’s run by a mysterious and mystical woman.

I read some of this and my first thought was that it was the most progressive LGBTQ+  manga that I’ve ever read. I find that most manga covering LGBTQ+ topics tend to be behind modern times or are very basic, such as My Brother’s Husband. It was nice to read something more realistic and current.

Everyone is super excited that Seven Seas Entertainment is bringing an official English release and so am I!
