Just did 2 hours of calc 3 homework while watching But I’m a Cheerleader and drinking a bottle of Merlot, and gotta say, nothing quite compares. I feel like I’m finally using 100% of my brain.

you should read: our dreams at dusk

Since it’s Pride Month, I thought it would be fitting to recommend one of my favourite manga of all time, Our Dreams at Dusk (or Shimanami Tasogare) which is a wonderfully wholesome, evocative and grounded LGBTQ manga.

The series is set in modern Japan and revolves around a discussion lounge filled with LGBTQ folks from various walks of life and Tasuku Kaname, a closeted gay teenager who despairs that he may have been involuntarily outed.

Now, some notable points about the series!

The art is absolutely gorgeous. This series is filled with well-placed metaphors that are often full-spread and always breathtakingly illustrated. The art style works well with these beautifully dreamy scenes.

Diverse representation. The cast are all various ages from various parts of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. We get to see the interpersonal relationships between not only different parts of the LGBTQ community but also between different generations.

Incredibly well-written. I can’t really overstate how well-written this series is but you should know that the author is non-binary. Our Dreams at Dusk doesn’t so much as tackle the issues that the LGBTQ community in Japan face, rather it gives us a glimpse into the experiences of this community, in a raw and realistic way. It’s subtle but with deep meaning and it’s clear that the author has drawn on their own experiences.

Pacing and balance. The series generally maintains a good pacing, aside from the ending which did seem a bit abrupt. The balance between the profound realism and the dreamy metaphors are extremely well done.

Would I recommend Our Dreams at Dusk?

Absolutely. Most manga featuring LGBTQ characters tend to be either sexualized or vapid or both. I can only name a handful of series which fall outside this category and none of them come close to matching the beautiful and refreshing storytelling of Our Dreams at Dusk. It’s nuanced. It’s deep. It’s respectful.

If you’re part of the LGBTQ community, I guarantee some part of this series will resonate with you and if you’re not, it’s still an absolute read. Either way, you won’t forget about this series for a long long time.

I need to rant about something real quick, so stay with me.

So I saw a poll on here earlier today where the op was asking people if they would be “good queer representation”. I mean absolutely no offense to the op because I’m sure they meant no ill will by it, but reading that post and then some of the comments infuriated me a bit.

Not because people were being hateful, but because of how many people were saying that they wouldn’t be “good queer representation” because they were aroace in a relationship or something of the like. And it just upset me because why do we as a society believe that this is bad queer representation.

And it made me realize that I would not fulfill many people’s definition of good queer representation. Because I am a trans woman that uses she/her pronouns but still presents as a man due to a variety of social and economic reasons. I am a trans woman that has lots of very masculine hobbies and mannerisms.

And I receive judgement for that. I receive judgement for not being people’s perfect vision of a trans person. I sometimes feel like I have no home in any community. Among straight people, I’m too queer to fit in or be comfortable with them. Among queer people, I’m not queer enough; I don’t fit how they believe a trans person should be and behave.

I feel like I’m not welcome with anyone and it fucking sucks. The fact that even queer people judge based on if you fit a good queer narrative is incredibly upsetting.

Sorry for ranting, this is just something that upsets me a fuck ton and I felt the need to share.
