Just as he’s contemplating doing the unthinkable, Tasuku meets a mysterious woman who leads him to a group of people dealing with problems not so different from his own. In this realistic, heartfelt depiction of LGBT characters from different backgrounds finding their place in the world, a search for inner peace proves to be the most universal experience of all. Review: A beautiful start to a bittersweet story - I'd heard a lot about this manga and was so pleased when it was announced that it was actually going to be localised. Having read the first volume, I'm so glad that it's lived up to the tremendous praise that has been showered upon it. Shimanami Tesogari does a fantastic job of telling the stories of various LGBT people who are trying to live their lives to the fullest despite discrimination and marginalisation. Tasuku Kaname, the main character, is a gay teenager trying his best to not only come to terms with his sexuality but also dealing with being forcibly outed to his classmates. Through his struggles he is introduced to a host of other characters who have been through similar challenges and we hear their stories. It is a solid premise and we as the reader get to see how Tasuku empathises with these stories and uses his newfound knowledge of their experiences to gain a greater understanding of who he really is. The artwork in this manga is also beautiful. The characters are expressive and the backgrounds are incredibly detailed. Yuhki Kamatani does a fantastic job of creating emotive compositions; my favourites were the snowy dreamscape page spread, and the pages where he goes back to his classroom where fish-eye lens effects, extreme close-ups and Dutch angles are used to great effect to illustrate Tasuku's growing stress and unease. The print version of the manga is of a good quality. The title on the cover is embossed and slightly shiny against the matte artwork which makes it pop nicely, and there are a couple of glossy full colour art pages in the front. There were no typos that I could find and the dialogue feels natural, which is good because there are some manga where the translations are too literal and they feel clunky as a result. The series is only four volumes in total, so it's not a huge commitment. I know I will definitely be collecting the whole set and would urge anybody who's reading this to do the same! Review: One of the best pieces of LGBT media to ever come out of Japan - Honestly one of the best (and most honest) works covering LGBT topics I've ever come across. Our Dreams at Dusk is the work of a queer author and it really shows; it is moving, poetic and brutally, brutally honest. It is also visually stunning; this work boasts some of the most incredible use of visual metaphors you are ever likely to come across in graphic novels. Please do yourself a favour and check it out. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #210,782 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #134 in LGBTQ+ Manga (Books) #968 in Teen & Young Adult Manga (Books) #3,052 in Action & Adventure Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (793) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.5 x 7.1 inches | | Grade level | 7 and up | | ISBN-10 | 1642750603 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1642750607 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare | | Print length | 180 pages | | Publication date | May 7, 2019 | | Publisher | Seven Seas | | Reading age | 13 years and up | ## Images ![Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mBXFMHw9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful start to a bittersweet story *by K***B on 4 June 2019* I'd heard a lot about this manga and was so pleased when it was announced that it was actually going to be localised.

The art style is a little different than what I'm used too but the story, damn, it's just so good. I'm looking to buy volume 2 soon to continue the story on but there are so many other manga to buy... Give it a shot if you want to understand the LGBTQ+ community a little more. ## Frequently Bought Together - Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 1 - Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 2 - Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/91481613-our-dreams-at-dusk-shimanami-tasogare-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/91481613-our-dreams-at-dusk-shimanami-tasogare-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
