Synopsis

Having begun a relationship, lovers Shun Hashimoto and Mio Chibana depart for Tokyo. Unlike the tranquil seaside town where they met, the city is a bustling metropolis, where people from all walks of life go about their lives. Even so, openly being in a homosexual relationship is never an easy task in a society that rejects those who go against the norm.

Their destination is Shun's family home, a place he left years ago after outing himself. Nearly everything is nostalgic about that place, from the very same dog to the very same roof, but a boisterous younger brother is an unexpected surprise. While Shun's mother wishes for the two to stay, his father remains emotionally disconnected from his son.

As they become reacquainted with family friends and grow accustomed to their new environment, Shun and Mio are faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge—coming to terms with their pasts.

Preliminary (31/? eps)
Seaside Stranger is a gay manga between Mio, A high school student who recently lost his parents and spends his days by the sea and Shun, An openly gay novelist who has been living with his aunt since his parents disowned him. Mio and Shuns relationship moves fast so it goes by fast but we get more material of the couple together, they go through many hardships together and stick with each other through it all. The manga is NOT for minors as it is explicit. However, if you are over 18 I think it would be a great read for any BL lover. If ...

This series is truly an amazing, one-of-a-kind BL series. Taking place right after its Umibe no Étranger counterpart, Harukaze no Étranger continues Mio and Shun's story as they travel from Okinawa to Hokkaido, and the upcoming volumes deal with Shun's family life, and from there, his relationship with Mio.

There aren't many BL manga like this series, ones that don't fetishize guys or homosexuals and are just told as an average romance - despite how horny Mio constantly is, which makes me laugh sometimes. Just like it's prequel story, the manga is very beautiful visually, and focuses a lot more on characters, and their stories ...

I do have mixed feelings about it.
Do i think its bad? Not really, i just think it's a self indulgent work, which is actually not bad, i caught myself smiling while reading it at times, the thing is, i do feel it lacks direction.
You could argue it feels like that because their story flows just like real life, but at narrative level i still think it's lacking, at times it gets really confusing with mixed ideas here and there. There's too certain topics that i don't really liked the way they were used but thats mostly my personal opinion, also there were certain ...
