The beloved coming-out and coming-of-age manga about a broad LGBT+ community. Not only is high schooler Tasuku Kaname the new kid in town, he is also terrified that he has been outed as gay. Just as he's contemplating doing the unthinkable, Tasuku meets a mysterious woman who leads him to a group of people dealing with problems not so different from his own. In this realistic, heartfelt depiction of LGBT+ characters from different backgrounds finding their place in the world, a search for inner peace proves to be the most universal experience of all.
Our Dreams at Dusk is only four volumes in length (and Seven Seas will bring all four out in 2019) but the mangakas considerable skills as a graphic storyteller are evident from the first page as we are plunged into the living hell of Tasuku's school life. Yet it's not a depressing read. There are some truly heart-wrenching moments but also some breathtaking images. The town of Onomichi is almost a character in its own right, depicted in loving detail. Above all, the story offers a compelling vision of hope for a future where we can be accepting of one another and welcome and celebrate difference. Tasuku has embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, thanks to the mysterious and elusive Someone-san – I can't wait to see where it will lead him. Read Full Review
