Seaside Stranger Vol. 1: Umibe no Étranger



Ever since his parents disowned him for being gay, Shun has been living with his aunt on a small island near Okinawa. One day, he meets Mio, a high school student who recently lost his own parents and now spends his days sitting by the sea. The two young men begin to open up to each other...until Mio reveals that he's leaving. Three years later, an adult Mio returns to the island to confess his true feelings, but is Shun ready for a relationship?

A love story between an openly gay novelist and a young man coping with grief that was recently turned into an anime film!

Praise for Seaside Stranger Vol. 1: Umibe no Étranger

"It's a sweet, affirming tale... The story is about them working together to accept what's being freely given, overcoming their own issues to find happiness. There's something lovely about that, and Kii tells the story well... If you enjoyed I Hear the Sunspot, Seaside Stranger should definitely be on your reading list." --Rebecca Silverman, Anime News Network
