Yuhki Kamatani is a Japanese manga writer and. But in spite of this terror, in spite of this awful, quiet hostility, Our Dreams at Dusk understands the beauty and power of showing the world who you truly are." – Faye Hopper, Anime News Network The emotional final volume of Yuhki Kamatanis tale of gender, sexuality, and self discovery About the Author.
Our Dreams at Dusk understands deeply the subtle, precise and terrible ways queerphobia is ingrained into society, and how even these asides that seem so small and benign to those saying them can drive us even deeper into the closet. Creator Yuhki Kamatani’s artwork toes the line between reality and surrealism, conveying the conflicting feelings about self-realization and self-actualization through an incredible use of themed imagery." - The Beat, Best Comics of 2019 "This is an incredibly thoughtful series, one which drives home the idea that gender identity and sexuality - and how they are expressed - are different for everyone.
“While manga frequently portrays the characters in yaoi/ yuri (“boys’ love”/“girls’ love” genres) in a fetishized light, this series takes a refreshing turn, and the high-quality art makes it a potential breakout for broader audiences.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review) Nominated for Best Manga in the 2019 Harvey Awards.
