Seaside Stranger Vol. 1: Umibe no Etranger

Product Information

L'étranger de la Plage is written and illustrated by Kanna Kii, and it is her debut manga work. [1] It was serialized in the bimonthly manga anthology On BLUE from 2013 to 2014. The chapters were later released in one bound volume by Shodensha under the Feel Comics On BLUE imprint. The manga is distributed in English by Renta! under the title The Stranger by the Beach. [10] In December 2020, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that it had acquired the license to the series for release in July 2021 under the title Seaside Stranger: Umibe no Étranger. [11]

In 2014, L'étranger de la Plage was ranked #5 on the list of recommended boys' love stories in a survey of 470 employees across 400 bookstores nationwide in Japan. [30] Referring to Kii's experience as an animator, Kozue Aou from Kono Manga ga Sugoi! praised her use of color contrasts, long shots and close-ups of the characters, and camera work that "speaks eloquently about the character's heart." [16]BL is a genre with very, very low standards. I’d say that the only genre that’s worse off in that regard may be shows for kids, and even that is debatable. So, once in a blue moon a BL anime that isn’t utterly terrible is released, and just by the virtue of not being completely garbage it gets praised as the best thing ever. And to be fair, in comparison with most of other similar works, it’s pretty good. In comparison to regular anime though… that’s a different matter.

There is one part where the story finally stays at one place for a longer time and finally starts giving out a bit more coherent storytelling and even a somehow interesting source of conflict which again tempted me to at least give this a 6/10, alas it makes up only about fifth of the runtime and the movie still feels like a very long trailer than an actual movie.

The story is… chaotic. It feels like watching a digest of a series you have never seen. The characters are poorly introduced, it’s riddled with confusing cuts that seem to just skip over huge portions of would-be story, and has timeskips without warning that make it even more confusing. We are given no reason as to why should we care about the characters at all – unless of course you are a fujoshi, in which case the usual procedure would be to get hyped about boy’s love and disregard everything else, no further characterisation is required. Ultimately the story, or at least what I could catch from it, adds up to about an average shounen-ai plotline about dude liking a dude while some people are not fully okay with that. Nothing groundbreaking. I have not read the original work yet, so I don’t know if it too is as rushed as the movie, but guessing based on the fact that it is only one volume long, the adaptation probably didn’t left out much things. The manga was followed up with a sequel series titled L'étranger du Zéphyr, which began publication in vol. 14 of On BLUE that was released on July 25, 2014. [12] The chapters were later released in bound volumes by Shodensha under the On BLUE Comics imprint. In May 2021, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that it had acquired the license to the series under the title Seaside Stranger: Harukaze no Étranger [13] Si que tenía una ligera idea de como se desarrollarían algunas cosas en este nuevo tomo, pero aun así me ha pillado por sorpresa. Se nota desde el minuto cero que hay mucha tensión entre Shun y su familia debido a lo ocurrido antes de que se marchase de casa. El que a su hijo mayor le gusten los hombres crea cierta controversia. No es que lo desprecien por ello, sino que me ha dado la impresión de que quieren entenderlo y arreglar el pasado. i watched this on 9anime.to , but you can find it on youtube aswell . im always looking for more wholesome or just in general good bl & gl . alot of the time theres some weird incest , the storyline is just bad or it fetishes mlm / wlw relationships which isnt something i want to watch . so when i got recommended this i was worried it was going to be like something i listed above , but i was so wrong . im surprised at how not alot of people are talking about this movie

Como bien anuncia el resumen; Shun y Mio deciden volver a casa del mayor. Lo que comienza siendo una decisión firme va tambaleando con el transcurso de las horas. Shun se plantea si realmente es bueno volver a su casa después de tanto tiempo, y más con Mio. Sin embargo, el hecho de que Mio le acompañe hace que sus fuerzas aumenten y quiera arreglar las cosas. El estilo de la autora me ha sorprendido bastante, enternecedor y expresando de forma cristalina qué les está pasando por la cabeza a los personajes. Aquí entra un problemilla personal que he tenido, que es probable que, en parte, sea por no haber leído antes Un extraño a la orilla del mar; ya que me costaba un poco seguir los diálogos y hay algunos momentos en los que, como decía, me descolocaba un poco la presencia de pensamientos pasados con conversaciones en el presente. Después de darle algunas vueltas, conseguía asociar quién decía qué o en qué orden. Igualmente, Kanna Kii tiene una manera curiosa de contar las cosas, igual en los próximos tomos me habré acostumbrado y me explico un poco mejor.

Comme quand il a giflé Shun quand il croise son père après 7 ans d'absence. Il aurait simplement secoué ou du genre, pas besoins de le frapper.

Je ne suis pas fan de l'ex copine, pourquoi elle va voir la famille de Shun ? Elle y va comme si c'était sa propre famille. To my surprise, the big confrontation with Shun’s dad is not the main focus of the story. Instead, there’s more of a focus on Shun and Mio becoming acquainted with his family (and each other), and through that, we get to see that the discrimination at hand isn’t as visible as we initially thought. Don’t get me wrong, some horrible things were said when Shun revealed the truth all those years ago, but now, things have settled down. Um. Kinda.

Stranger by the Shore is a stunningly beautiful and equally powerful story that confronts how we can internalize the hate and stigma around us. And also, how we can find ourselves once we decide to let others in. Yes, this is a story told through anime, but it’s also a story first told in manga, and that’s important. Stranger by the Shore is the best adaptation of a manga I’ve ever seen. From the pacing to the art style and the use of notable dialogue, everything lands in this adaptation. The anime captures the beauty, intimacy, and melancholy of the story. While this is thanks to Ohashi’s screenplay and direction, it’s also thanks to the vibrant animation.
