Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 2

I am always taken aback by how beautiful the artwork in Our Dreams at Dusk is. Not just the artwork itself, but the composition - the recurring themes of water that flow throughout the book and add a dreamlike quality to the art, and the expressiveness of the characters which tells us what they're feeling without having to resort to words.On top of that, this volume gives us a chance to get to know some of the other supporting characters and pushes the underlying plot forward in interesting ways; I can't wait for the next volume so that we can start to see more of Tasuku's crush.Our Dreams at Dusk is a must-buy!

This came in perfect condition and exactly as described. It is also such an incredible story and as for someone who never reads books, this book series is one i would actually encourage every person to read and for it to even be taught in education for a better understanding of a community that is so often misunderstood and pushed back for no good reason. I hope the author is well and makes more books in the future, but if not, I'm glad for all they've done already.

The art is just great, has a real classic manga styling to it and the spines look great.When the whole series came back in stock I picked it up right away. Great short series.Quick note. There are themes that could put off some readers. Just make sure to read up on some of the content before starting.

In this volume, our main character Tasuku starts looking outward to learn more about the other people at the drop-in center -- particularly Misora, who likes wearing dresses but doesn't know how they identify. Without getting too much into spoilers, this volume explores the struggles that come from trying to understand yourself, including both the internal frustrations and the externals conflicts that can result. While the focus is on Misora and Tasuku, we also start seeing more of Tsubaki, the boy Tasuku likes. Overall, this volume can be painful to read, but there's an important conversation occurring within the story: just because two people are both queer doesn't mean they inherently understand each other and aren't capable of hurting each other.The art is stunning as ever. Kamatani is a master of visual metaphor and they really flex those muscles in this volume with a fishbowl motif. Really, you just have to look at that beautiful cover to know you're in for a treat. Still highly recommended for anyone interested in LGBTQ stories, thought-provoking drama, or great imagery.

Kid was happy

It's a wonderful manga series with good LGBT character depictions. The art is really pretty and I like it alot and story is good. My only complaint is how short it is (4 volumes only) and you can knock them out in a few hours. The characters go through struggles LGBT in real life would face like acceptance of loved ones, bulllying and shaming, and discrimination but it also shows how these characters form their own community called the Lounge where they can be themselves. Good ending I'll say but good doesn't mean it's a happy or sad ending so I'm just telling you it's good

It's a really cute story and the book came on time and in good condition

Shuji confused me. Seemed to be having such a great time at the festival in the yukata, in the accompaniment of Tasuku. Then what seemed to be a random act by a perverse stranger, & Shuji completely blew up, publicly, & accosted Tasuka, then yelled horrible things, then ran away. I'm unsure if what appeared to be a groping set off Shuji, or something else? Possibly some past abuse? I though Shuji looked ravishing. Did Shuji suddenly feel Tasuku had ill intent? Or intended to take advantage of Shuji? Or was it because Tasuku told the guy he likes that Shuji was his cousin? Hopefully, answers will come next volume. I liked the way this volume went. It helped explained where Shuji was coming from, & it also gave some insight into Tasuka & the boy he likes. I look forward to the next volume. I highly recommend this series for any teens/preteens who have gender/sexuality questions, or have feelings they don't understand. I also recommend this series to anyone who wants a better idea of the struggles those of the LGBTQ+ community go through.
