The beloved coming-out and coming-of-age manga about a broad LGBT+ community.Not only is high schooler Tasuku Kaname the new kid in town, he’s also terrified that he’s been outed as gay. 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.

★★★★☆ | "You can tell me anything. But I'm not gonna ask"I liked this one more than the last. It explores the complexity of good intentions not always being enough and the importance of not speaking over the marginalised people. About some 'allies' just wanting to claim higher moral ground and not actually trying to understand us.But it's also about standing up for yourself and your community. About saying 'that's enough.' About being there for each other.There's some internalised homophobia as well (at least, I think?) and other nuance. \

Reread reviewI love the focus on differences between gender and sexuality, I love the focus of how hard it is to figure things out for yourself and I love that it's clear that being gay yourself doesn't make you an expert on all things lgbtq+.The relationship between Tasuku and Misora is complex and interesting to read. I'm excited to see what will happen in the next volume. It's a rare thing to see friendship between two queer kids of different age (Tasuku is 16ish, Masora is 11ish) in fiction.The visual part is as stunning as before.CW: groppingOriginal reviewHeart-breaking and beautiful.I don't know what else to say. All that I said in my review of vol.1 is still true.The difference is that this volume is bittersweet. (Also a+ for calling out shit people say.)I really need vol.3
