Seaside Stranger Vol. 1: Umibe No Étranger by Kanna Kii

3.0

Picked this up solely because of the beautiful art style and interesting synopsis. I felt the relationship between Mio and Shun was a bit forced. I wanted to love this BL manga but there are definitely better “love” stories out there. While it did feel like a more realistic approach to accepting your sexuality, I didn’t particularly feel like their relationship was organic. Maybe this is a developing story as the next volumes do cover more in depth their story and journey, but I think this one’s it for me.
