I read an LGBTQ manga titled Our Dreams at Dusk (Japanese: しまなみ誰そ彼, Hepburn: Shimanami Tasogare) by Kamatani Yuhki (Japanese: 鎌谷 悠希). ^{1 2} The story is about a gay boy named Tasuku who has a crush on a member of the school volleyball team and the Cat Clowder group, which does renovations and restorations of properties, that he becomes a part of.

I really liked how the manga covers so many different gender and sexual identities in a way that felt thoughtful and considerate. In particular, I liked how it showed the characters as being people that happen to have their gender or sexual identity as part of themselves rather than being entirely defined by it.

There was also a really interesting comic technique used early in the story where a speech bubble was drawn behind a railing, to give the reader a visual cue that the person going down the stairs was becoming harder to hear. In general, the manga is beautifully drawn, with evocative scenes turning into stunning visual metaphors.
