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: Fantastic. Realistic representation of LGBTQ+ struggles & interactionsl - Very good so far. Very true to life. Wonderful, yet eccentric characters. Just shows that no one is perfect. I really enjoyed the interactions between the lesbian couple. One fully out, one still in the closet. It causes some disagreements, but nothing they can't work out with a little effort. I feel for the protagonist. He reminds me of my bff of 32 years who came out in the 7th grade in 1987 in a very conservative city. He had his ups & downs. He fought some battles, & walked away from others. He learned to come to terms with who he really is, & I was there to support him the whole way. Coming from a blue blood family, my parents, as well as siblings, were mortified when they found out my little buddy is gay. Caused quite an uproar in certain social circles. The biggest concern was that my bff being gay would "rub off" on me & turn me gay (seriously? How would that even work?). I fought a lot of family & social battles on behalf of my bff, because I refused to let people discriminate against him, & I refused to let him live a sheltered life. I wanted my little buddy to be open, honest, happy, & accepted. I can tell you, here in America, a LOT has changed between 1987 & 2020. My pal is able to live his life being the person he was meant to be, and no one really gets offended these days. People accept him for who he is. That is how it should be. And my bff, he has a lunch meet up every couple months with all the old queens from back in the day - the 90's/early 2000's. They all love me & always insist I come too. We all used to joke that I was the token straight guy lol. I love them all dearly. And frankly, my little buddy looks better in a dress than most women! Stories like this manga are desperately needed. There are a lot of young men & women who have questions, who have feelings & desires they don't understand, & many of them feel all alone. They need to know that they are loved, they are important, & they MATTER! Review: Great and realistic LGBT manga (I'll put this review for the other 3 books that I also purchased) - It's a wonderful manga series with good LGBT character depictions. The art is really pretty and I like it alot and story is good. My only complaint is how short it is (4 volumes only) and you can knock them out in a few hours. The characters go through struggles LGBT in real life would face like acceptance of loved ones, bulllying and shaming, and discrimination but it also shows how these characters form their own community called the Lounge where they can be themselves. Good ending I'll say but good doesn't mean it's a happy or sad ending so I'm just telling you it's good ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #910,191 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #258 in LGBTQ+ Manga (Kindle Store) #358 in LGBTQ+ Manga (Books) #1,356 in Teen & Young Adult Manga (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GAQRRFK8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic.

While the book itself is the same size as the original japanese, the cover is comfortable and gorgeous. The internal color pages are included as they were in the original release. The book itself includes slurs in the context of people who use them in both harmful and unknowing contexts, but this is ultimately a story of lgbt adults (in this volume in particular, adult lesbians) giving a young gay botly courage and guidance in his journey to acceptance. Kamatani has a long range of queerness in their writing, particularly their previous work, Shonen Note. Shimanami Tasogare is an in depth dive into the struggle of a queer adolesence and the struggles that accompany us as we grow up. It is also a story of community and healing for a dying town, revitalized by its lgbt community. It is lovely and i have been anticipating its english release for years and i am so grateful Seven Seas has brought this stateside. It is recommended for anyone with an interest in lgbt and light fantasy elements. --- ## 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.us/products/125060568-our-dreams-at-dusk-shimanami-tasogare-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.us/products/125060568-our-dreams-at-dusk-shimanami-tasogare-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
