The only redeeming quality was the art style, the rest was mediocre at best. It had some potential that got wasted pretty quickly. The characters have no personality other than some traits (for eg. Shun is a writer and that's his whole character). Though I have to say that I have some hopes for the rest of the series.

i think i would need to read this a few times to fully understand what happened (which is the case with me for a lot of shorter books) but the fluff once they got past the miscommunication was pretty top tier even if shun is silly and bad at emotions. i love that it ends with suzu saying "gay", side characters in this deserved more love!
i will continue to think about the screenshot i took where miu returns and the cat noise makes it look like shun's first reaction was to meow at him lol

After being disowned for being gay and ruining his arranged marriage, Shun has been living with his aunt on a small island near Okinawa. One day, he spots Mio sitting by the sea staring into the water and becomes enamored. He soon meets him and learns He is recently orphaned. The two young men begin to open up to each other until Mio reveals that he's leaving. Three years later, an adult Mio returns to the island to confess his true feelings, but is Shun ready for a relationship after so long has passed?
I have mixed feelings about this book. The art is gorgeous, and while reading it I felt that I'd been sintered to the island with the way the textures and lighting were transmitted on paper.
The relationship between the two characters is sweet and fluffy, but at times it's hard to understand their dynamic. Mio leaves for three years and suddenly comes back expecting to pick up from where they left off, and Shun is so reluctant to involve Mio in a There isn't a big overarching plot in the story beyond their relationship finding it's groove.
It's a beautiful book and I'm hoping when I watch the anime adaptation I can get a better grasp on my feelings
