I absolutely adore this series, but this was not what I expected after waiting so long for this volume to be published. I personally felt like it was all over the place and the story is just becoming so dull. Overall, I’m feeling a bit disappointed with this volume and curious to see what the next will bring.

This was the weirdest stream of consciousness volume ever. Amazing how so much can happen and be so boring.

April 17, 2024I think I’m done with this series.
The last two entries (5 and 6) just really haven’t resonated with me and the story feels rather directionless. My recommendation for anyone reading this is read volumes 1-4 then stop, because those are by far the best entries and where the story is at its most interesting.
Kind of a shame, but I’m still glad I picked it up.

More and more this series is becoming just a stream of consciousness lmao definitely started to get confused during this. But I did enjoy it, I suppose.

I'm out. This has been downhill since it started. I didn't even want this volume, why did I buy it???

The 5th volume of Harukaze no Étranger was an enjoyable read but I am getting a little worried. I know this manga was always just about the two main characters being cute and navigating life as two gay guys. That is still present of course and I enjoy it very much but I'm confused as to what is the endgame? Is there an ending that this manga is building to or is it a slice of life that just is. I don't know but I do not hate it. I still enjoy this manga very much

Dieser Manga ist einfach zuckersüss. Sobald ich mitbekommen das es ein neuen Band gibt muss dieser sofort gelesen werden!
Ich bewundere immer wieder die Detaillierten Zeichnungen welche Kanna Kii herbei Zaubert <3

True slice of life. I really feel like you can understand the creator’s state of mind by reading this, for better or for worse. Maybe others don’t like it but I think it’s cool to see the creator and the characters growing and changing together :)

This volume fulfilled my dose of cuteness for over a month, I think..:")

Objetivamente me gustó más que el cuarto tomo, me gustó mucho como se van amigando con la vida y con ellos mismos 😭

Estuvo bien pero no me aportó mucho a su historia. Me hubiera gustado que se hubieran centrado más en la historia de Shun de cuando vivía el solo en Tokio.

This story really needs a new direction.

I usually like the no plot vibe of this series but this was not it.

Increíble como siempre. Con el anterior pensaba que a la historia no le quedaba mucho pero este deja las puertas abiertas para que continúe un trecho más, lo que me hace infinitamente feliz.

Bueno pero. Y si adopto a Mio, qué pasa.

Barreja de sensacions amb aquest volum. D'una banda, em sembla que es trenca el bloqueig de 5 anys que porta arrossegant la parella sense acabar d'entendre gaire el motiu, però de l'altra, crec que aquest volum és una transició necessària, però que aporta poc a la història... Agraeixo que el Fumi estigui més calmat i no tingui tant de protagonisme com en altres volums, encara que em continua semblant un relat massa caòtic, sense rumb clar i amb més potencial de desenvolupar el món interior dels protagonistes. Només vull que siguin feliços i estiguin tranquils, sense allargar el xiclet innecessàriament!

What a complete mess. I felt lost the whole volume. I had no idea what was going on.
I know that they burned down their kitchen, they moved out of his parents home, they went to Disney world, or something, they visit Tokyo and then moved in and they are living together. Both of them meet younger guys. Do they love each other, or not? It's been five years.
This story had no direction and they aren't back at the seaside. I'm giving up on this. The end said that there will be another volume, but I just don't care. This melted into a mess. I feel done with it.

What the actual fuck is going on in the story. It used to be soo so good, but now it seems like an absolute mess. I don’t think i’ll continue with this series. It all went to shit with the last volume when they focused on the younger brother and the ex-fiancee. I really wanted to know if Shun and Mio would sorta /love each other/. They don’t seem like lovers anymore even with the timeskip, they just seem like…friends in passing. Not even “best friends”.

WAHHH WAHHHH THEY ARE SO CUTE I CAN'T!!!
This volume was definitely better than Volume 5 as this volume was just Shun and Mio! I love them so much literally so much they are adorable! I gotta go watch the movie for the like thousandth time now. Also I absolutely love the whole "The moon is beautiful isn't it?" As a way of saying I love you like STOPPP THAT'S SO FREAKING CUTE AND I WILL BE HOLDING ONTO THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFEEEE

Un peu déçue par ce tome, qui n'était selon moi pas du tout à la hauteur des précédents. Même si j'étais heureuse de revoir les personnages, j'ai trouvé l'histoire brouillonne et ça manquait d'émotions. Peut-être le tome de trop 🙄

This volume was...everywhere. I had to look back to remember what happened because a lot got jammed in. Not to mention Shun was very much out of character. He went from a 30-year-old "old man" with a midlife crisis to a cheerful man with a surge of energy. I couldn't even recall much romance going on between Mio and Shun. Some jealousy and urges, here and there, but overall they acted more like friends, and even then they didn't seem like the closest of friends.

i came away from this thinking it was very cute, but also quite confused with what actually happened.... i will say that i utterly adore the art style, even if the storytelling gets a little dreamlike and chaotic
